Oscars 2008 - Predict the Winners Game
I can't remember if I did this last year or the year before but it was fun, so I'm going to to do again.
The Oscars are on Feb 24th. at 8:00pm EST, so you have until 7:59pm on that day to post your picks. Most points wins, ties will be broken with 2 tie breaker questions. There aren't any significant prizes but, I'll give the winner(s) a title or something, if they already have one we'll figure something outs.

Re: Oscars 2008 - Predict the Winners Game
I'm generally not a fan of what kind of movies win the Oscar's approval, (I like the MTV Movie Awards), but I want to see if I measure up. Might have seen a couple of these movies...
