PREDICT OSCAR WINNERS - win more than 460,000,000 credits!

It's a completely different story with me. I had no expectations going into it and I was very impressed when it ended. I don't agree with you that there was no emotinal connection with the characters, I rarely find myself caring about most of the characters in the same way that I cared about the "alien" characters in District 9. It's quite an achievement for the creators to make the audience feel some kind of connection with a character that looks like a (very ugly) prawn

"Acting by the main character was almost laughable" - ... I don't know... that's too harsh. I think Copley just went for it His character evolves (literally ) over the period of the movie. The audience evolves with him. For me it was like: "Oh, I don't care about this corporate schmuck" to "Oh God, Will he make it!?" All in all Copley did a good job.

"Please tell me I am not alone in thinking that this movie was all hype and failed to deliver." - Oh, I'm sure you're not alone.

After 2 awards.. there's a 9-way tie for first place.

So far it's been predictable. The crap shoot is coming once we get into the lesser known categories.

[Jean-Pierre Bazinet]

I missed the Best Song category (STUPID!) so it's an 8-way tie now.

[j7wild]

I only have 1 correct

[chernabog_ca]

Well there goes my streak.

[Jean-Pierre Bazinet]

And, with Best Original Screenplay... we're down to 2 tied for first.

That was a nice tribute to John Hughes, the man who defined a generation.

[chernabog_ca]

The crap-shoot begins. How many of the shorts and documentaries did we all see?

[chernabog_ca]

That was an awkward acceptance speech. I was wondering who the hell she was.
