Awards predictions

There’s been much discussion about what expanding the number of Best Picture nominations from five to ten has done to the integrity of the awards show.  Now the cynic in me knows well enough that expanding the field was in direct response to the unfathomable snub of “The Dark Knight” in the previous year; nonetheless, I actually like the 10 nominations.  Sure, there’s always going to be films that don’t get in, but without the expanded field, films such as “Up”, “District 9”, and the underseen “A Serious Man” would have never had a chance.  Here’s how I think the night will go down.  Don’t worry, I’ll only stick to the top-tier nominations.

Inside Diploma Dash

 Diploma Dash raises money for scholarships and promotes Alumnus at our school.  You get a good workout and it’s for a good cause.
