FELIX 2016

The Academy Awards are on February 28, a week from tonight.

We're going to do things a little differently this year. Each category will have equal weight - no points system. I'm also omitting some of the smaller categories. E-mail your selections to elizacalvin@gmail.com or comment on this post. 

May the odds be ever in your favor.
