Oscars 2017

            Another year of movies come and gone. I know, I can't believe it either. Per tradition, Here are my humble picks of who I think will take home the gold tonight. The great part of the Oscars are the upsets and even though La La Land will be heavily peppered throughout the night (rightfully so), there's always room for the little guy to win, too! I like to include the year's unsung heroes so check those bad boys out, also. That being said, please, proceed with caution...
