Watson Predicts the 2019 Oscar Winners

Posted on by wittywats

Let’s face it.  2018 was a weak year in film.

As you’ll see from my annual countdown, I liked some films but there were no all-time classics. No contenders for the Watson Top 25.  Beyond even favorites, it was particularly weak for Oscar bait. There was not one film this year that stands worthy of Best Picture.

I understand the knock on Oscars being snooty…but I AM snooty too! So, I typically think the Oscars honors a laudable film.  This year? Not so much.

Gabbing Geek Game of Thrones Death Draft! (Spoiler Heavy!)

When you play the Gabbing Geek Game of Thrones Death Draft, you either win…or you complain about Septa Unella for the next two years!

We at Gabbing Geek were worried that soon to be released spoilers, a bevy of cast photos, and the dreaded NSA/Wikileaks/Instagram Industrial Military Complex would reveal too much, so we conducted our way-too-early draft of which of our favorite characters will die in the final season of one of our favorite TV shows ever.

In Season 7, we had four players drafting (Watson, Jenny, Ryan, and Tom), but this time we added the full gang of Geeks who watch the show; adding to the S7 crew Jonathan, Halbrook, and Jimmy! We are now seven players, fighting for glory in the Eyes of the Seven.

Sadly,some drafted so poorly, they will need help from the Old Gods and the New!

Who will climb the stairs to the Iron Throne? Who will eat the Ser Pounce’s butt?

Let’s see!

(Spoilers….so many Spoilers!)
