HOW MANY OSCARS WILL THE BEST FILM WIN?

I will be posting my predictions (and prizes) within the week. I am chagrined to admit that I never win; for years I entered countless contests, only to be stung and disappointed by some of the Academy’s choices. My vote is ALWAYS cast for the actor, movie I consider the most worthy; regardless of past achievements.

Good Luck
