This Oscar season has been the most competitive in years. Many films have jockeyed for Best Picture over the past few months, and some early favorites for the acting prizes have been brushed aside in favor of new talent. As this is the last issue of The Fordham Ram before the Oscars, here I offer my predictions for the 86th Academy Awards, airing March 2 on ABC.
