It's that time of year again - the ceremony that has all of Hollywood in suspense and excitement: the annual Oscars prediction game on FMUK!
They've even seen fit to televise it. Brilliant! It'll start at 1:30am our time on the 29th (Sunday night or Monday morning, depending on your perspective).
This year, I've got an unused £10 Amazon Gift Card lying around, so there's an actual prize for the winner! This may or may not be £10 of Amazon credit.
As always, predict a winner for each category and whoever gets the most correct wins. Just copy and paste the following into your post and single out your prediction for each category...
