Holac Posted February 12, 2014 No Reason: Hollywood likes to give Oscars to more seasoned actors. PS: Each person should say YES or NO first and tell us why you think that. After the Oscars, we will see who was right or lucky for that matter. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Safferz Posted February 12, 2014 No -- I haven't seen Captain Philips so maybe it's not fair for me to say that, but I have seen 12 Years a Slave, Wolf of Wall Street and Dallas Buyers Club, and I'd be surprised if Michael Fassbender doesn't win it. If seasoned actors won Oscars, Leonardo DiCaprio would have won an Oscar a long time ago Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sorry Barkhad! My prediction was off as well, congrats Jared Leto Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Nin-Yaaban Posted March 2, 2014 Went to my local CVS to get some smokes, and they had like 7 snowblowers parked right there. I guess VDOT learned from the last blizzard we had. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
