Supporting actress - WRONG - off to a good start.
Supporting actor - my "will probably win" won, so I guess I'm back go even.
Best Director - my "will probably win" won, so I guess I'm one up.
Best actress - nailed it! Goalllll!
Best actor - my "will probably win" won. Bummer. Sorry Mickey.
Best picture - my "will probably win" won. I guess I'll have to go see it. I was going to go see it tonight, but I stayed home to watch the Oscars instead. If you count my "will probably win" picks, I'm 5 out of 6. Only actually saw 3 of them if you count Dark Knight.
