I am so Nostradamus 


Shut up, I am! 

OK, can I just say that I'm pretty good?

Let's review my picks with what actually happened:

Picture 
• Me: Brokeback, Capote, Crash, Good Night, and Good Luck, Walk the Line  
• Real: Brokeback, Capote, Crash, Good Night, and Good Luck, Munich

I am a bit surprised that Walk the Line didn't make it, especially since both Joaquin and Reese got noms.  

Actor 
• Me: Hoffman, Howard, Ledger, Phoenix, Straitharn  
• Real: Hoffman, Howard, Ledger, Phoenix, Straitharn

Yessssssssssssssssss!

Actress 
• Me: Dench, Huffman, Knightley, Theron, Witherspoon  
• Real: Dench, Huffman, Knightley, Theron, Witherspoon

Seriously: I rock; few were predicting KK, but I came through for her.

Supporting Actress 
• Me: Bello, Johansson, Keener, Weisz, Williams. 
• Real: Adams, Keener, McDormand, Weisz, Williams

Not wholly surprised by the snubs of Johansson and Bello, but am surprised a bit that the Academy recognized Junebug via Adams—one of those nominations where the actors really carried the day and supported a disregarded film. McDormand is an Academy favorite, but I hadn't heard anything about her getting a nom

Supporting Actor 
• Me: Clooney, Cheadle, Dillon, Giamatti, Gyllenhaal 
• Real: Clooney, Dillon, Giamatti, Gyllenhaal, Hurt

Again, I'm not exactly surprised Cheadle didn't get it, but am surprised Hurt did: another out of the blue nom, to me. I guess the History of Violence DVD push helped!

I watched the pre-game on E! and there is an absolute idiot person named Leo Quinones commenting; my mission is to get him fired. He was just dumb and cheesy…and wrong…he picked Zhang, whom everyone knew wouldn't get a nom. Puh-leeze.

A certain someone at school asked me why the hell I care. Oh, because I like movies, and because I like playing games like this, and I like being right. Why not?
