[quote=Holden Pike]Ebert obviously picks emotionally, what he wanst to win more than what he thinks will actually win. Always has, always will. Ebert is [size=1]NOT[/SIZE] a good barometer for Oscar picks. Actually, he makes a decent inverse barometer.

I made one or two picks from what I WANT to win more than what I really THINK will win, but not the majority.[/quote]

[quote=Yoda]Yeah, I don't agree with him either. 'Cept when it comes to Denzel taking [b]Best Actor[/b].[/quote]

[quote=mightymose]I think quite a few of the categories are down to two or three entries...  It will certainly be more exciting than years past.

Go back and read Ebert's picks from last year.  I don't think he actually picks movies that he thinks will win.  If he does he's more of an idiot than I though :D [/quote]

[quote=mightymose]I was reading that the non-famous guests (seat fillers, etc) had to arrive 11 hours early... WOW![/quote]

[quote=spudracer]which sucks...I mean honestly [i]Lord of the Rings[/i] should get best picture.[/quote]

[quote=Yoda]Well, Ebert thinks [i]Moulin Rouge[/i] will take [b]Best Picture[/b]. We'll see. Maybe I'm not very educated, but the show seems pretty unpredictable to me this year. I guess we'll see.[/quote]

[quote=Holden Pike]I don't know why you'd be disappointed this year, SB, since the movie you found so "brilliant" and "astounding" is going to inherent the Best Picture mantle in a matter of hours.[/quote]

[quote=mightymose]Better watch out Spud or he'll send the Gorilla after you![/quote]

[quote=spudracer]How bout dem Oscars!?  Oh...sorry Silver, didn't see you standing there.  :rotfl:[/quote]

[quote=Holden Pike]Er, I meant the '82 ceremonies. Anywho, same difference. T'aint gonna happen this year.[/quote]

[quote=The Silver Bullet]Dissapointing.
I like suprises.[/quote]
