Oscar predicting vs. Oscar deserving


After watching the Oscar nominated films and individual performances (ok, we didn't watch Life of Pi, we have our reasons) here is our contrast between who we believe will win versus what film or actor we think deserves top honors (and a few "overlooked" and "honorable mentions"). We agreed in most cases, but diverged on a few.
