I’m going to try to see “Closer”, “The Aviator”, “Sideways”, “Million Dollar Baby” and maybe a couple of others. I don’t plan on making any public Oscsar picks because I don’t plan on seeing all of the nominated movies. I will not pick someone based off their past movies.

Oh, way to be cool with that shot at the end.
Prediction: The Aviator or Million Dollar Baby wins for best picture.
I’m rooting for Natalie.

I went to see Million Dollar Baby with parents and it was absolutly horrible. If that wins, I will be pissed off. I don’t understand why the oscars always picks the shittiest movies.
