With the 83rd Academy Awards airing tomorrow, I figured it was about I posted some Oscar information. Below are the categories and my ballot picks. You can fill out digital ballot at both the Oscars’ new website, Oscar, or at The New York Times’ site. If you don’t want to scroll down this insanely long list (and I don’t blame you), you can see my picks at NYTimes here.
The awards will air at 8 p.m. tomorrow on ABC. I’ll be posting and Tweeting updates as the night progresses.
