OK, here we go - by popular demand (my pal Sam Popular, to be exact), here's our Oscar competition. Choose the winners in each of these categories, and the one with the most right answers gets bragging rights and a cookie, to be awarded when I durn wll feel like it.
The deadline for sending in your choices is the moment the Oscar broadcast begins on Feb. 22.
