Alright guys, we're going to make this fun. It's Oscar prediction time. Post your picks for all these categories. And when the oscars are announced, everyone who got all of these correct will be awarded a board oscar! :) Now the only rule in this is that you are not allowed to edit your post! So if there is an edited by: your name at the bottom of that post, then you won't be able to take part! Otherwise you could change your answers and you can't do that! :)

Feel free to post your comments and thoughts!

And does anyone else feel like Walk the Line should have been up for best picture too?

[littleputz114]

Okay, so I'm basically appalled not to see Walk the Line on the list for Best Picture. That film deserved to be nominated. However, I am thrilled that Amy Adams is nominated for best supporting actress. She was fantastic in Junebug.

[rafaboreanaz]

I cant believe Michelle Williams got nominated!! I always thought she was a great actress in Dawsons Creek . I'm so happy for her :D

[cutiepie33]

I, too, am disappointed that Walk The Line is not nominated for Best Picture. It really deserved it. However, Reese and Joaquin are nominated so it's cool.

[FaithGirl16]

I'm so excited for Brokeback Mountain and Felicity Huffman! I love them to pieces. :bgrin:

[mimsicool]

So do we just post our picks in here?
I'm really excited for Felicity Huffman, and I'm disappointed Cinderella Man wasn't up for more. I thought that it was a really great film.

I'm glad Reese Witherspoon won, she deserved it. I'm glad some of the other nominations won too.

[oclover24]

Who won on here?

[afrocurl]

No clue--I had four, though.

[oclover24]

I got seven out of eight. (I guessed Joaq for Best Actor, but it was PSH.)

It seems like darad10, myself, and littleputz114 all got seven out of eight.

[afrocurl]

I think that's right, Christine!!

Good job!!!

[oclover24]

Thank you!! :D

[Andrew]

Stop butchering my ID Christine :lol:

[oclover24]

^:lol: You did great too, Andrew!! :D

[oclover24]

So, who really ended up winning?

Here's hoping you see this post, Emma!

[Andrew]

Noone... despite a few "close enough" 7/8's; the point was to get all 8 correct, was it not? :ponder:

[oclover24]

^Yeah, I guess that's true.

:shrugs:
