Jeff Mitchell’s Oscar Predictions
Well, my crystal ball usually contains a cloudy haze, and my fortune teller skills cannot find – let alone read – a life line, but I do love movies and outstanding performances. During this Oscar season, rather than only offer my picks for the 2016 Academy Awards’ top categories, I included who “should” win and who “should” have been nominated (in my humble opinion, of course). Enjoy the Oscars!
