Oh my!! You are a GENIUS!! Who would think that YOU would be able to predict the nominees AND the winners---and for a year where all the movies haven't even been completed or released!! You must be the highest paid person in Hollywood! You should write books! You should direct movies! You should be on the AMPAS payroll as top advisor!! Oh, by the way, we're all STILL waiting with anticipation over at the INDY 4 boards for your enlightening response to your "nonsensical script" thread.

As with almost all the rest of your posts that you don't respond to: BACK-HANDED HILARITY!! What would really be interesting is if you actually had something to say in ANY of your posts rather than just rattling off lists of people and the movies they've done. That's partially why the IMDB exists, I think.

I think he might be guessing by using the already-released trailers/teasers, pictures on the various movie websites, and/or plot descriptions. I looked up some of these movies and know some of his predictions probably will be accurate. I mean, they don't nominate stupid movies like "School of Rock". Also, the above actors and filmmakers are all highly regarded (w/ the exception of Annasophia Robb who will make her debut in "Because of Winn-Dixie" followed by a role in the Tim Burton-Johnny Depp remake of "Charlie & the Chocolate Factory")

I like how you responded to your own post using another screen name. And you also referred to yourself in the 3rd person. Like I said, we're all still waiting at the Indy 4 boards for your reply to Indy script post. Can't you just be honest?

OMG! This is hilarious. You responded to yourself in another screen name! Oh my god! Whoo, Kelly! Ha!
