Oscarbation
Even when there was the possibility of it going the same route of the Golden Globes “ceremony”, I remained nonetheless excited about the approach of the Academy Awards; if there’s one thing I like as much as cock, its movies (with or without dick, for the record) and watching the celebration of the year in film with the awarding of the Oscars is a guilty (or maybe not so guilty) pleasure I never miss.
One of the reasons I so enjoy the Oscars is the pool that I participate in every year with friends and colleagues. For the past 5-ish years, I have always taken on the role of bridesmaid. This year, I’m as hungry for victory as I am for Collin O’Neal’s stiff member to be stuffed up my ass. And in less than a week from today, I’ll find out if these predictions are enough to finally score me a win:

So there you have Sir Randy’s Oscar predictions for this year. How do they compare to yours? I guess I’ll find out on the evening of Sunday, February 24 whether or not I win this year’s Oscar pool. And if I don’t, I wonder if Collin O’Neal could clear some time in his schedule in order to console me?
Cheers,
S.R.
