Noms come out on Tuessay, not Thursday!
Amanda, when is Tuessday? That's for all the shit you give me about my spelling. Curious to know though, you put Meryl in your pick for best actress. I would have thought her to be supporting. How do you decide if someone is supporting, or lead? I guess it's obvious in most cases, but I would have thought Anne Hatheway would be considered lead in that movie with Meryl being supporting. Although, I suppose there can be 2 leads.
Damn you are good with these! I know who to look to when my office Oscar pool comes around again this year.
Are you EVER going to change this blog? How am I suppose to win my office Oscar pool this year without your predictions?! Can you help a brother out?
what's your post nomination thoughts?
