    Darren: not sure Crash will win.
    I suspect they will give the “Best Picture” Oscar to Brokeback Mountain. Otherwise, i agree with your predictions

    Todd: Note that I’m talking about who will win, not who should win. The Academy is rarely controversial, so I figure they’re likelier to go with the-movie-about-race than the-movie-about-gay-cowboys.

    Crash for best picture? Too bad they don’t have a “Most Elaborately Contrived Plot” category.

    Well, a couple of surprises Darren. Would be interested to see if anyone achieved 19 our of 19.

    You did well Darren, but you fell in the supporting acting categories where Brokeback was overlooked. Also, Munich won nothing,
