I think something like Little Children can come in and win, i dont think it will be a front-runner(though a few may make the top 10).

The Queen and Dreamgirls tend to be the most-predicted, but Little Children and Little Miss Sunshine seem potential contenders.
I'd agree the smart money's on The Queen, but Little Miss Sunshine won't stop nagging me.

Here is last year's thread: http://www.worldofkj.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=15078. Lecter posted in the morning pacific time, so I'm expecting to see the results when waking up. Very excited too. _________________Recent watched movies: American Hustle - B+ Inside Llewyn Davis - B Before Midnight - A 12 Years a Slave - A- The Hunger Games: Catching Fire - A- My thoughts on box office

Shit! I don't have three hours! I have about 90 minutes! I need satisfaction before a particularly bad Biology lab this afternoon.

Hm, supposedly "leaked" winners from IMDb:
Best Picture: Notes on A Scandal
Best Director: Bill Condon (Dreamgirls)
Best Actor: Peter O'Toole (Venus)
Best Actress: Jennifer Hudson (Dreamgirls)
Best Supporting Actor: Eddie Murphy (Dreamgirls)
Best Supporting Actress: Rinko Kikuchi (Babel)
Best Foreign Film: Volver
It's IMDb, hey, they almost seem crazy enough to be partially true.
If so, Notes on a Scandal? Shack's bragging will probably put Maverikk's to shame.
