Oscarstips!

Jag tänkte anordna ett litet Oscarstips, den som vinner får en liten hög med... hmmm... 5 filmer jag inte vill ha kvar i min hylla längre. Jag förlorar alltid själv - Paradise Garden-jumbopris-vinet jag hade tänkt håna förloraren med förra året gick till mig själv och man fick huvudvärk och ilningar i gom/tänder/ryggrad efter bara någon klunk - men här är mina gissningar.
