Alright folks, here we go! What we want you do to is post here your picks for the 82nd Annual Academy Awards. Not who you want to win, but who you think will win.

After this our staff will be voting on which Yakkster to feature, but the first Yakkster is going to be determined by your skill in Oscar prediction!!! And your avatar will be featured in that article as well so I hope you like yours!
