VIDEO: Axford talks Oscar picks

We can still ride out this Academy Awards thing for another day, right? 

Indians pitcher John Axford had a Monday chat with reporters from a podium that looked far more like an October set-up than one for a regular day at Spring Training.

The focus was on the former closer after he went 18-for-18 on his Oscar predictions. He didn't even watch the ceremony on television.

Axford discussed his strategy, Twitter's response, and his admiration for Gravity director Alfonso Cuaron.
