I thought we could have a little fun. On February 24th, the Academy Awards will be presenting Oscars. Sadly, TMNT did not make the nominees list. Though, we can still have a little fun by making some predictions on the winners. And whoever gets the most right, I'll put together a little award myself.
Does it matter if you've seen the movies or know who the actors are? Naw... we'll just test your ESP abilities
Now, for the list of nominees!
