Yes! It’s always a blast. Speaking of things we disagree on, Eddie Redmayne over Michael Keaton? Really? Redmayne is a pretty solid pick but Keaton was perfect.

I believe we usually throw down a green queen. So I assumed we were doing the same this year.

Depends on what makes a great performance. Redmayne disappeared into character a lot more than Michael Keaton did. With birdman, Instead, Keaton made his bagge work for him. I think it’s a very tough race to call. I think the only one we can safely rule out is Carrell.

Sorry, I just found out that Carell has only one “r”. And he was awesome in Foxcatcher.

Carel was fucking great! It would be nothing short of a miracle if he won but to be honest, I don’t think I would be all that disappointed.

I would definately not be disappointed.
