it might get director or screenplay. Screenplay is usually when the really good stuff gets nominated or wins (like last year with Eternal Sunshine and Sideways winning, or back when American Splendor was nominated)

As much as I'd like to see Sin City clean up, I think it's gonna be the gay cowboy movie that wins big this year. I don't see Sin City getting nominated for anything major at all, and only marginally for a handful of the smaller tech categories.

Well, they only picked 3 for this category so I kinda cheated, but I did still get all 3 right.

All in all, I don't think I did too shabby at all. A few nominations were off here and there, but every one of my predicted winners is still there and I even got 5 for 5 on a few of the categorys!

Narnia for best FX too!

The special effects in Narnia are at best OK, they in no way compare to the standards set by Lord of the Rings.

Also everyone refers to Brokeback Mountain as a gay cowboy movie, but shouldn't it be a gay shepherd movie? They look after sheep not cows.

I would like to History of Violence given a nod somewhere, it was one of the strongest films last year.
