The Academy Awards are this Sunday, and I hear that aside from making it difficult for me to drive in Hollywood for a whole goddamn week, these awards chiefly exist for gambling purposes. The Oscars are the gambling equivalent of the Super Bowl for hipsters who hate sports because they were never any good at them.
In keeping with this tradition, we here at WWW are offering a list of proposition bets for the Oscar telecast. Print it out and share with your friends or people you want to take money from. Enjoy!

3 metawords:
As much as I approve of hating on Randy Newman, they're not performing the song nominees this year, so...um...let's totally make a huge waiver on that one!
The best Oscar moment ever would be for Kathryn Bigelow to win best director, but James Cameron obliviously walks onto the stage and launches into his acceptance speech, like Zoolander did when Hansel won.
And he does it in N'avi.
I love Alec Baldwin even though (or perhaps because?) he is a terrible person.
Also, your friend Rebecca needs a blog! heehee!
