Okay, so here are my Oscar picks. Of course my picks need to be taken with a grain of salt since I haven't actually seen any of these movies (except for Enchanted--I really do want to see Juno but I don't get out to the movies very often). So in actuality many of my votes are being chosen because of past work that individuals have done. Fore example, I really like Daniel Day-Lewis in Last of the Mohicans so I am picking him to win Best Actor. Or other random guesses such as giving Best animated short film to "Madame Tutli-Putli" because MBC refers to her nieces as Madame. Not very scientific, but its the way I'm gonna work it this year.

I haven't seen many of these movies either, although Ratatouille was good. :)I also want to see Juno I've heard its really good!
I'm glad I could do my part for Madame Tutli-Putli. I'm sad to say that I like the trailer for Juno better than the actual movie. The soundtrack's great and the acting's great, but it's also pretty crass. I really wanted to love it, but I only loved parts of it.
Once I got through my list but I realized that I have seen Transformers, Pirates, and Ratatouille.
Thanks for the info on Juno MBC. It is always good to know what I'm walking into to--or possibly in this case renting.
