I was off, way off. But, like I said, I haven't seen any of the movies. I've been interested in seeing quite a few of them. I would like to see No Country For Old Men and There Will Be Blood. I usually just wait for them to come out on DVD. We rarely get out to the theater any more. I was so glad that Ratatouille won! Last year, I felt that Cars was robbed when it lost to Happy Feet. I love Pixar films. Each one seems better than the one before it, and that's saying a lot. My picks are in bold type. The winners will be in italics. Bold italics mean I picked right.
