And the Oscar goes to

Tonight's the night. All that promoting, all those premieres, all those great performances during the past year, all those fittings, all those speeches, come down to this. The 82nd Academy Awards are on tonight and to say the competition is fierce is an understatement. There so many long over due nominations, some new faces, some sad, some funny, some absolutely faultless and the mother of all battles between the exes- Kathryn Bigelow and James Cameron. I've vested interest in tonight's results but I also want to see how many can I get right.

P.S. Can I just say i'm so pissed at Avatar winning Best Director at the Globes because that sets the trend for the Oscars and I think Kathryn Bigelow desevres Best Director!

p.p.s. I'm being greedy and if my first choice doesnt win then if there's a runner up then i was right

:P

AND THE WINNER IS

I really shouldnt but i'm watching the golden globes tonight at like 1am. Its a 4 hour show and the night before the night before an exam that isnt the best success strategy. But anyway i'm all for a good show. I've been watched a few of the movies but my predictions are based on press clips and half assed attepmts at watching some of the movies online. For the Television categories i'm basing it on what I saw the past year, even though we're ever so slow in catching up with our Yankee brothers and sisters. So here it goes:
