And we've placed a three dollar purse for the person to guesses the most correct Oscar winners (to be paid via Paypal.)
And we've booked a gay man in Chicago to give us hard-hitting instant reaction to the awards via youtube.
Really, the only thing left for you to do is to fill out a bracket.
That and read about how this year is the whitest Oscars in recent memory.
And to stare in wide wonder at the list of Best Picture nominees that don't even seem to be things you'd want to watch for free on TNT on a Sunday afternoon when it was raining (I'm looking at you "Winter's Bone" and "The Kids Are All Right".)
And to wonder how it is that the hosts this year are younger than I am. Makes me long for Jack Palance.
Meanwhile, which is the worst Best Picture? Forest Gump? Ordinary People? Driving Miss Daisy? Because there's an outside shot Winter's Bone could be the best worst ever. And that, my friends, is worth believing in Hollywood all over again. Honestly, I could see Braveheart high in the running for worst best...

My nominees for wort Best.
On Saturday, I'm going to AMC Theaters' Best Picture Marathon. Only then will I be qualified to opine on any of this. And probably too sick of it to do so.
worst best picture winners
A Beautiful Mind (the worstest)
Crash
Gladiator
Slumdog Millionaire (go ahead and hate me)
Worst: Gladiator
Runner Up: Forrest Gump
Still really bad: Rain Man
Honorable mention: The Departed. It's a fine film, but if that's the best picture of the year, wow, that is one terrible year of film-making.
I actually rather liked Crash, but I get the hate. I'm impressed/surprised at the lack of vitriol towards American Beauty and Shakespeare in Love, two films that I like but which definitely had some Oscar hatred thrown their way at the time.
It bears mentioning that Forrest Gump beat out Pulp Fiction, Shawshank Redemption... and Four Weddings and a Funeral. So, it could be worse. Gladiator could have been Chocolat.
Worst best picture - Titanic
