So for the first time in a decade I am not going to be able to finish my “Countdown” Oscar blog in the normal way. I am refereeing a tennis tournament in Durham for the weekend and I clumsily forgot my laptop. I am typing this on my phone and I’ll finish my picks, but it won’t be nearly as pretty as I’d like it to be. Sorry. Here goes:
