Made a couple of changes:

Took Ben Foster out of my Best Actor - Drama predictions and replaced him with Jeremy Renner; took Tobey Maguire out of my alternate pick and replaced him with Viggo Mortensen.

Took Alec Baldwin out of my Supporting Actor predictions, moving Stanley Tucci up and replacing him as an alternate with Matt Damon.

[Cinemanolis]

Come on people, not much time left...

[Hustler]

Hustler and MovieWes you have 6 titles in your Best Picture Drama category.

I Know. The point is that HFPA members usually nominate six films in that category.

Sure, but since they don't always have 6 nominees, for the purposes of the contest we should all stick to 5 nominees per category.

Ok, So, I´m removing An Education.

[OscarGuy]

Actually, they don't nominate 6 in those categories. The examples you can probably list are ties. The GG rules allow for ties in categories up to 7 total nominees. If it rises above this number, they take down to 4 of them as nominees. I don't think it's ever decreased to four, but it's been up to 7 at least once that I remember (Original Score).

I noticed that too, but I thought they were predicting ties.

The Satellites category is Animation/Mixed Media. The Globes created theirs to look like the Academy's, so it will be only animated films most likely.
