It’s that time of year again. That’s right, it’s time for me to get beaten by my wife at the Oscar Prediction game. I’m currently losing 9-1. The only time I won was our first year together. I’m starting to think she let me win as we’d only been together a month at that point.
So here we go. These are my wife and I predictions. Let me know in the comments below if you agree or disagree or just want a chat.
