I don't really care that much, but I thought I'd throw my own seriously misjudged predictions into the ring alongside people like Adam and Kris and, ya know, all the rest. Did I say I was gonna be seriously misjudged?
[edit - I just realised that I didn't predict them to award Little Miss Sunshine anything. Probably quite ridiculous, but atm I'll keep it that way - except for the young performer awards which they may or may not award]

Their top ten is kind of crazy this year - no Little Children, The Queen, or Dreamgirls? And The Devil Wears Prada and BLOOD DIAMOND instead?! That said, I totally should have seen The Painted Veil and Notes on a Scandal coming.
Good work on Actor/Actress. I was *this* close to predicting Whitaker, and then decided to go risky at the last second.
LOL, I haven't seen the list yet but I think I'm gonna love it. I love their whacked out fucked up awards.
hey, good job though on your list...i'm glad you threw your predicts in.
