Once again it's Oscar time, and I do love awards season. Sunday the 24th is the day when Hollywood congratulates itself on a job well done. I just hope the show goes on, I love the glitz and glamour. I'll be conducting the contest again. Vote for your choices in the categories listed below and we'll see who calls it the closest. Vote on the basis you want, whether it's who you want to win, who you think will win, or who think should win and for as many or few as you want. I'll be sprinkling 10 votes for every award each entrant calls correctly (this could mean visiting many pages...). Feel free to enter, and if you want, sprinkle votes to the participants who call the winners correctly!!!

I take it this is not the film you want to win, just the one you think will win.
(I'm still holding out for our Beaufort - it really is an amazing movie.)

Dang! I actually thought about switching my pick to Swinton when her name started showing up in some predix, but thought I'd stick with my gut.
Can't argue with it, though. I thought it was a terrific performance. |

You know, if you're such, you know, the type of person that There Will Be Blood is not your cup of tea, I can't imagine that No Country for Old Men would do it for you. |
