May I take your predicitons for this?

P.S.: Your prediction for Best Picture is cool: We are all thinking of The Aviator and Million Dollar Baby, but there are always surprises.
I think I'm gonna eat my predictions sheet if Ray wins. :)

Sure.

I'm picking "Ray" just because everyone else on the planet is picking one of the two movies you mentioned. I doubt that it will actually win, but who the heck knows.
