Author Comments: 

After a vivid participation and above all excellent predictions from your part last year, lets make a 2006-round with old and new players.

Thanks in advance.

1922, the Grand Inquisitor

Picture: Brokeback Mountain

Director: Ang Lee

Actor: Phillip Seymour Hoffman

Actress: Reese Witherspoon

Supporting Actor: Paul Giamatti

Supporting Actress: Rachel Weisz

Adapted Screenplay: Brokeback Mountain

Original Screenplay: Crash

Wow, all of ours are the same, no fun. ...And, I'll have to get back to you on the others, but I shall eventually.

Haha, thanks for your predictions.

Maybe the Academy will surprise us all, with winners like these:

Picture: Crash
Director: George Clooney
Actor: Joaquin Phoenix
Actress: Felicity Huffman
Supp. Actor: George Clooney
Supp. Actress: Amy Adams
Original Screenplay: Good Night, and Good Luck.
Adapted Screenplay: Capote

As to me, the two categories that seem most obvious are Best Director and Best Leading Actor.

Nice summary!

(you just have to fix Best Original Screenplay to redden AAA v. 2.0)

Ah, thanks for making me aware.

Also, the best song category needs a few reddened choices.

Oh, sorry.

I'm so tired. I've now been up for 33 hours non-stop!
