Your Guide to the Oscars

Movies with Abe presents your guide to tonight's Oscars. Click on each category heading for detailed analysis of every nominee. Below please find my final predictions for the winners. I'm not really predicting any surprises, and it’s mainly a question of whether any film can beat “The Artist” for Best Picture, and if Viola Davis or Meryl Streep will be crowned Best Actress. Post your own predictions in the comments, and enjoy the ceremony! I'm hosting a party so I won't be live-blogging, but good luck on your own pools and enjoy the show.
