OK! News: Celebrity hairstylist George Papanikolas makes some hair predictions for Oscar night.
• Who is leading the acting races? When it's time to fill out a ballot in your office pool, go with Matthew McConaughey for Best Actor (Dallas Buyers Club), Cate Blanchett for Best Actress (Blue Jasmine), Jared Leto for Best Supporting Actor (Dallas Buyers Club), and Lupita Nyong'o for Best Supporting Actress (12 Years a Slave). Most critics think that's how it will play out. If you're feeling adventurous/rebellious, consider betting on Leonardo DiCaprio for Best Actor (The Wolf of Wall Street) or Jennifer Lawrence for Best Supporting Actress (American Hustle).
• Ellen Degeneres is hosting! Okay, she's not Tina Fey and Amy Poehler, but she's pretty dang great.

• It's been so long since some of these awards movies came out, they're actually available on DVD or on demand. Dallas Buyers Club and Captain Phillips are two of the top on-demand movies in the U.S. right now.
