It’s Oscar prediction time! Will Chris swear off all movies forever if “Moneyball” sweeps the awards? Does Alan have his fingers crossed that “Real Steel” creeps into the Best Picture field through some clerical error? And how do you choose a winner from a list of animated short films when you haven’t seen any of them? It’s all in the name, of course. All this, and more, on Footcandle Films.
