Oscars

I cut and pasted the main Academy awards nominees from the BBC website and have guessed the winners of the main prizes! The Academy is notoriously fickle and always biased towards home grown talent but for once many of the chosen few are well deserving!
I would love Laura Linney ( nominated a ton of times) to win something but I guess that will be too much to hope for. My guesses for winners are in italics!
