I'm still waiting to see Diving Bell and American Gangster before making predix.

Okay, so here's the rules, same as every year.

Choose one winner and one runner-up in all categories. For categories with 5 nominees, you get 5 points for your first choice or 3 points for your runner-up. For categories with 3 nominees, you get 3 points for your first choice or 1 point for your runner-up.

Anyone who correctly predicts the winners in the top 8 categories gets an additional 8 points. You have to get them all though. No runners-up, no exceptions.

For tie-breakers, predict how many minutes the ceremony goes over (or under).

I'll make my predictions public. All submissions have to be finalized up to one hour before the ceremony begins. You can submit as many times as you want, but only the most recent one will count.

Email them to me at moviewes99@aol.com or PM them to me.

[MovieWes]

I'm the one who does it every year. I've done it for the past 8 years or so. I used to do it on Yahoo!, but for the past couple of years I've done it the old-fashioned way. I'll do it again this year.

Van Helsing won last year.

Your post should be sufficient (I'm sure Tee's reading. )

[cam]

Put the bug in his ear, Wes.

[OscarGuy]

well, there's one over at oscar world, but that's a pay one. As for one for the UAADB alone, I think Tee usually starts that.
