In light of the above post, we should take the opportunity to discuss the Academy Awards that will be given out Sunday night. As someone who goes to the movies far more than the 3 times per year that is considered a large number, I actually think that this year has a stronger field than usual. Who do you think will win, and (what is not at all the same question) who do you think should win? (I list the major nominations after the break.)
