Ah! I had no idea about this. Oh well. At least I can claim bragging rights for a year when I wipe the walls with CB and AK's predictions...

I wasn't aware I submitted my picks on a paper towel. ... Oh, yeah, I can talk trash all day long.

So the talk begins!

Having just glanced through some of the other posted picks, I am thinking a new champ may be in store Sunday night. I kept waffling on five categories and went with my gut. Of course, this is the same gut that told me to try the all-Oreo diet. I knew I should have gone with logic!

Yeah, I think we're beat. But I encourage trash-talkin'.

My only shot is if WALL-E gets the love it so obviously deserves for sound (which it probably won't, on second thought, because some believe "the Dark Knight" got snubbed and will therefore clean up technically ... pbbbt to that ... the damn thing minted gold at the box office) and if Taraji pulls an upset in best supporting actress. I felt that for "Benjamin Button," its best shot at nabbing a top award was her performance. We'll see.

I think the magic number will be 22/30, like last year. Who knows ...
