PICKS: Pepper Picks the Academy Award Winners

Let me just say one thing first before we get to the picks - I don't go to the movies - and it is not for a lack of trying - they just don't allow dogs in the theater for some strange reason. Their claim is that it has something to do with the food. I think it has something to do with me attacking the other patrons who get to loud and insurance and all those wonderful things. That being said, I have no idea what was "good movie" or what was "Oscar Worthy", I just made random picks the same way I make the picks for sporting events. Two side notes: 1) Overall BOLT or HOTEL FOR DOGS, which were about dogs should have been up for all the categories and 2) after I made the picks did I learn that Slumdog Millionaire had nothing to do about a DOG!!
