La la la Oscars la la la
Wow. It's been awhile. Is anyone even reading this anymore? My life has gotten so boring that I just stopped updating. I might start again -- leave a comment if you've missed my rapier wit in the past 5 months!
Anyway, just wanted to post my Oscar picks. I got 11 of 24 (45.8%) right in 2008, then 16 of 24 (66.6%) in 2009. Of the Best Picture noms, I've seen 5 of the 10 (Avatar, District 9, The Hurt Locker, Inglorious Basterds, and Up). My favorites were District 9 and Up, though they're not really in the running.
