UPDATED WITH WINNERS - Oscars 2010 -- Predictions only

[kaytee]

Yes we all know how bad the year 2010 has been for movies and the economy but this is a ritual of the WM forum that has to be maintained.

Note: To keep this thread clean, post only predictions here. Any comments or rants on the awards itself should go to this discussion thread.


Oscar Predictions 2010



Guessing who takes home the golden statuettes has become a revered, annual tradition for WM Citizens. And 2010 should be no different!

This time there will be 17 categories to take a crack at because most of them are straight lock in's for a win and we need to make this a bit hard for ourselves.

Good luck to all!

Deadline:
You can post your predictions immediately, and can keep editing your entry up until Sun, 7th March 2010 at 9pm UAE Time when, alas, this thread must be locked.

An hour and a half to go before the deadline and still no predictions from WM regulars.

Truly disappointing.

[kaytee]

Looks like we have a tie on the winners between aaya1977 and kaytee both with 13 correct predictions. I cant figure the times out if they are am or pm? So dont know which one of us won .

Tally is -

Kaytee - 13
aaya1997 - 13
Shariqq - 9
theoddball - 7
Sandeep - 5

Sorry, man, I couldn't participate because all I have been doing besides eating and sleeping is being on set. I just returned from another 14-hour day of filmmaking...

Also, the Oscars suck donkey balls, so even if I had the time, wouldn't have bothered.
