Oscar Predictions 2009

[kikocherman]

I have made a spreadsheet in Google Docs so everyone can see our hosts' predictions of who is going to win the 2009 Oscars. I also included my own predictions in the list. If you want to be included, please post here your predictions.

BTW, I didn't get Alex's and Jeff's predictions for Sound Mixing.

Brilliant idea to use google spreadsheets.

I can't make mine until after the 21st when I see the AMC showcase. For those of you that haven't heard about this, every year AMC does a marathon of the Best Picture nominees. It costs $30 and in addition to the 5 movies you also get unlimited popcorn and soda. If you have an AMC near you, I highly suggest going, I had a blast last year.
