It seems that for the 90 years the Academy Awards have been in existence, MLB reliever John Axford has also been there making his predictions on Twitter. Although, Twitter has only been around since 2006 and, despite his many lifetimes of beautiful facial hair transformations, Axford is still just 34. 
Alas, on Sunday night, the Blue Jays pitcher was back with his picks for the 2018 Oscars. 



The final tally is here: The Ax Man went 18 for 24. Not bad for a guy who plays a lot of baseball and probably doesn't have time to see a lot of movies.
