Hello Pop Culture Prognosticators, it is time to turn your Office Oscar Pool in to Gary in Accounting. If you still haven't finished filling out your sheet, don't worry, "Some Like It Pop" has you covered. In this special mini-episode, Jennifer McHugh and I discuss the six major categories (Best Supporting Actor and Actress, Best Director, Best Actor and Actress, and Best Picture).

We share whom we wish was nominated, whom we want to win, and whom we think will win. We also make some out of the box predictions about Chris Rock and Jennifer Lawrence, and set up terms of our Head-to-Head Prediction Wager.

Later today, we will also publish an in-depth Predictions Article, so you can see where we stand on every category. In the meantime, there is some Oscar-related reading and listening for you below.
