Tomorrow morning at 5am PST (Thursday January 22) the 81st Academy Award nominations will be announced for films released in 2008. The Golden Globe awards were previously announced on Sunday January 11th. After seeing the actual nominations on Thursday I will post a more extensive post with my predictions for the Top 8 awards. In previous years, Mad Professah has done pretty well in predicting both nominations and wins. Last year I won an online Oscars predictions contest (by picking 18 out of 24 awards correct) that resulted in having free Netflix for 6 months!
