My 2013 Oscar Ballot

Hollywood's Big Night

Written by Matt Giles

We're now officially a week away from Oscar night. The votes have been cast and now we play the waiting game. While I'm by no means a betting man, I do enjoy partaking in my own Oscar ballot, just to see if my Jedi-skills are improving.

What you'll see in the list that follows are my best educated guesses as to what will win and what I think should win. While I have no idea what to expect from this year's host, Seth MacFarlane, I'm very excited to see how everything turns out. Here. We. Go.
