Welcome, sensation-seekers, to yet another annual edition of ANDY IHNATKO PICKS ON OSCAR! Wherein I delineate, decrypt, deconstruct, (and basically creep people out with) DETAILED, EXTENDED ANALYSIS of EVERY OSCAR PRESENTED DURING THE TELECAST!

For live (-ish) blow-by-blow (ibid) Oscar coverage on the big night itself, point your browser to my blog:

Wherein I shall be offering live commentary, in a time-frame ranging from the Instantaneous to the Somewhat Time-Delayed, as your kind author shall be taking part in simultaneous online Oscar Parties and thus his attention might be elsewhere while Whoopi Goldberg is making yet another fart joke, causing him to let it pass (so to speak) uncommented.

BUT YOU DON'T CARE ABOUT ME! YOU WANT THE AFOREMENTIONED ANALYSES! ONWARD!

The Acting Categories

The Visual-Ish Sorts Of Categories

The Ones That Center Somehow On Noisemaking

Just See A Summary Of My Predictions


GO AHEAD! I'LL NEVER KNOW!

And now that the Oscars are over with, you can read my live commentary on the OscarCast, wherein I recorded my reactions, observations and the other transients in nominal neurochemistry I experienced as events unfolded before me through the glorious miracle of Edison's televideopticon.
