The Show
Strong Words predictions
Since our show this weekend won’t entirely be about this year’s Oscars, we wanted to put the three hosts’ Oscar predictions up on the site. Those that are still entering the contest can look at our lists for inspiration. Be sure to enter the contest before the Oscar telecast begins on Sunday or your picks will not count towards the contest.

As you can see, the three hosts differ in some of the more important picks. Adam and Tim are picking There Will Be Blood for Best Picture and Best Director, whereas Josh is going for a more conventional pick with No Country for Old Men. Three of the four acting picks are the same across the board (with the exception of Adam picking Ellen Page for Best Actress), but no one agrees on Best Supporting Actress. Tim likes SAG winner Ruby Dee, Adam is rooting for Golden Globe winner Cate Blanchett, and Josh is pulling for the longshot in Amy Ryan. Josh and Adam share picks for screenplay, rooting on Juno and There Will Be Blood, while Tim likes Michael Clayton and No Country for Old Men for Original and Adapted Screenplay, respectively.
So keep the submissions coming for the contest and enjoy the show on Sunday.

It should be noted that Tim has yet to see about half of those movies… He will be seeing some of them before the weekend and could possibly change his picks.
