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.

I know. And it was only two years ago when people were saying "They aren't going to snub Scorsese AGAIN, after snubbing him for that rapist!"

Time flies by SO DAMN QUICKLY! :cry:

NBR is supposed to announce any minute now................

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. :tongue:
