Let’s Guess Who’s Going To Win That Shit Tonight
I just put my picks in for Dlisted’s Oscar office pool, which consists of just me and my dog. (SPOILER ALERT: He’s going to win.) Since the Oscars are only five seconds away and I like to do everything last minute, here’s who I think will win and who I think should win. I based my picks on what I read at Rope of Silicone, Gold Derby and by asking myself an extremely relevant question: Which nominee would I rather be naked, drunk and lubed up in a room covered in Saran Wrap with. These are my choices.
