So I was pretty conservative. I think I'll do pretty well, save, maybe, for some of the Tech Branch. Any comments, bold predictions or musings of your own?

I sorta think Everlasting Moments is gonna WIN? And isn't Three Monkeys way artsy?
Ugh, even I know no songs from HSM3 will happen. :(
Wow, no Tomei?
I am being way too criticizing right now. LOL. Srry.
Damn. Who knew you could be so mean? LOL. Totally kidding.
Anyway, yeah I felt Adams had the upper-hand on Tomei. That one took a lot of thought.
Oh, and I'm not too sharp on the Foreign field. Gomorra would have made things more clear-cut.
Anyway, don't be shocked if you see a few ballsy edits in the coming hours.
:P ;)
I do think Adams will be nominated, though at Henson's extent. Sure she's in an assured BP nominee, but she's got such a one-note character that's easy to write off, even if she's lovely. Tomei seems really, really safe from where I'm at.
Gomorrah, ugh. There would probably be at shot that it wouldn't be nominated even IF it were on the shortlist, apparently? It's like, not Oscary at all. I've heard the same for Three Monkeys. I do think Baader will make it in - possibly just for being the most expensive German film ever made. 'Cuz it seems like they themselves don't like it much.
Ooh, ballsy edits. Nice.
