The Oscar season is right around the corner which is easily one of my favorite times of the year. I like reflecting on the movies from the years past and comparing the movies nominated to what I liked. I always watch the movie nominated no matter what type of movie it is or if it even looks interesting to me. I do this every year but this will be my 1^st annual The Sports Script Oscar picks. January 14^th is the day the nominations are announced and today I will give you who I think should get the nominations as well around March the 2^nd (before the award show) I will give you my picks on who I think will win that were actually nominated. So here we go.
