Committing my predictions to the inter web.

Every year my sisters and I have some sort of Oscar gathering and every year we print out a ballot and fill out who we think are going to be the winners for the night. I don't think I have ever won. I think the best I ever did was around 11 out of 24. But still I love to try and it adds a level of tension and excitment to watching the ceremony.

For a full list of nominees click here.

Here are my predictions for the winners of the 80th Annual Academy Awards. Who I think will win is in green and who I want to win is in purple.
*update - I am putting in the winners in Red.
