The 89th annual Academy Awards are tonight at 8pm. This means they’re set to begin just as the fourth quarter of Raptors vs. Blazers gets underway. To me, this is unfortunate since I enjoy watching the Oscars every year (yes, even though they’re kind of dumb and not particularly indicative of the actual quality of films in a given year. I understand all of that.). For Patrick Patterson, the Raptors’ resident movie buff, it has to be a bummer too.
Nevertheless, Patterson had some thoughts on the upcoming ceremony, predictions for some of the winners, and which films he is rooting for.
