And the Oscar goes to...

Good Morning Everyone!

In honor of the Academy Awards last night, I am devoting this entire post to the Oscars.  More specifically, I am devoting the post to the Fantasy and Sci-fi Nominees and Winners.

First, let me explain how this list is supposed to read... I am going to list the different Categories of Awards, the Fantasy/Sci-fi Nominees in that specific category, and if there is a Fantasy/Sci-fi Winner in the Category, the title will be highlighted.  Here goes!
