Oscar Nominee Predictions
Even as far back as 5 or 6 years old, I treated the announcement of the Oscar nominations like Christmas morning, waking up early and rushing into the living room to sit riveted, pen and paper in hand, while my mother looked on and silently questioned my future sexual preference.
Nothing has changed, and I still love to make predictions and lists. The following is a list of who I think the major category nominees will be at 8:15 tomorrow morning.
IMPORTANT: This is not necessarily who I think SHOULD be nominated, we can deal with that another time. This is who I think WILL be nominated. Keep in mind I won a large Oscar pool last year. And the year before that. And pretty much every year since I was born.

Pat, I am not sure if you were there, but I definatly won the pool over at
Jeremey and Jason's where I recieved 80 dollars. If you were there, haha
you suck. If you weren't then know I would have dominated you had you been
there.
I was not there, but you're doing a lot of trash talking for a man who
posted the same comment three times on the previous entry.
I am not a man of science. Simple means are more my way, but it would seem
if two of us have posted the same thing multiple times, the rational
conclusion might not be our error. Rather it might be that your website
sucks at being a website, just as you suck at being a man, you dick.
I think Mike C. is correct; there must be an internal error with
blog-city... As for the Oscars pool, you kicked my ass last year.
Mike Curry, despite the incredible ease with which I could spin your
comment into a joke involving the words "man," "suck" and "dick," I will
take the high road, but I will not concede that the website has a problem.
