Glavin's Oscar 2007 Predictions Thread

[HG Revolution]

OK, this is gonna get heated. I picked a lot of unlikely choices, half the movies listed I haven't even seen, and NOBODY will ever agree with my Best Picture winner. I didn't even bother with the short film categories (since I don't care what happens in those as long as that terrible Autism Every Day propaganda film doesn't get anything). However, I thought it would be a good start for discussion with the actual nominees coming in a week so why not?

Picks for winners are in bold.
