It’s no guts, no glory time!  (This phrase was coined, as far as it relates to the Oscars, by Sasha Stone of Awards Daily.  We all use the phrase but, too often, we don’t give proper credit to the person who started the trend.)  Below you’ll find my official predictions for who and what will win when the Oscars are handed out later tonight.

(Actually, this year didn’t require much in the way of guts.  All of the winners seem to be pretty obvious at this point.)
