Quick little contest. With the Oscars on Sunday night, I figured we would see who was best at picking the winners.

Winner will be the person who guesses the most categories correctly. Prize will be 3 points per category, with a maximum of 72 total points.

Take the list below and underline your choices. You can edit your ballot until 7:55 pm EST on Sunday (5 minutes before they start). If you need confirmation on time zones, just let me know and I will help you out.

I'll post mine tomorrow, though I won't be eligible for the winnings.

If you want to distinguish between who will win and who you want to win, italicize those selections. Only underlined selections will count in the final tally, though.

It should be noted that I think Sam Rockwell should have been nominated AND won Best Actor and Clint Mansell should have been nominated for AND won Best Original Score for Moon.

I wasn't sure on a lot of these (mostly because I haven't seen a lot of the movies). I doubt Avatar will win EVERYTHING, but let's face it, it's gonna win most of them. Which is unfortunate, because District 9 was a great movie. Just not QUITE as great.
