For anyone getting ready to fill out their Oscar predictions, George Clooney has one piece of advice – don’t bet on “Michael Clayton.”
Clooney (who swears he has never lost an Oscar pool) offered up his picks for this year’s Academy Awards. And while the actor offered praise for his own film, he didn’t think “Michael Clayton” stood much of a chance in most of the categories.

I don’t know about you, but I’m kind of digging the peripheral effect the Writers Strike is having on all the awards shows this season.
I, for one, would not mind one bit if the Oscars kept it tight and lean, but on the other hand, we are talking about the Oscars here, and it would be a crying shame if “the biggest night in Hollywood” could not live up to its well-deserved reputation. Yes, we all know what that means – tons of nonsensical questions to the well-dressed attendees on the red carpet. But in the end, the awards themselves will prevail, especially if the winners in the major categories shape up to look something like this —
