Players' Picks Guide
Time to make your selections and see if you can choose, not the best, but who the Academy will say is the best. Please choose only one from each category and reveal your answers in a post below. Why? Because I am going to be dipping into the prize vault to find a special something for whoever gets the most correct. By necessity only posts that have not been edited will qualify for a prize. It's also a good idea to go ahead and guess even if you do not know the nominees in a category since you may just guess correctly!
You can review the nominees before selecting your choices here-
