DU Lounge Oscar pick-em game
I'm not sure if we can convince Skinner to give away a Tee-shirt or something for the winner, but I still think we should have an Oscar Pick-em game.

How to play: Copy & Paste the blow list. Next to whom you think the winner should be either put WINNER next to the name or delete all the ones you think won't win in the category. There is also a tie-breaker. Oscar is usually a 3 or 3 and a half hour broadcast. Whatever ABC schedules for the broadcast you need to determine how many minutes the broadcast will run over (or feasibly under) the scheduled time.

8. Sorry - she's gonna lose to Julia Christie
"Away From Her" was an amazing little picture and Christie was heartbreakingly amazing in her role. And I have a feeling that some longtime actors are going to get wins including Ruby Dee and Holbrook.

10. I'd go with Bardem but....
I keep thinking Oscar has a history of going with longtime respected members of the academy which makes me think that Ruby Dee and Hal Holbrook are getting best supporting nods.

And I went with Christie but I keep thinking that the girl from the Edith Piaf biopic could shock us all.
