12 out of 23. I may shoot myself. I have *never* done this badly in my life. And naturally, this is the year I send my picks to dozens of friends, telling them of my historically amazing track record. Oh, the hubris. Even the "colon rule" failed me, which portends hell freezing over, I fear.


>>The categories that really surprised me were best actor and actress. Kevin Spacey and Hilary Swank? Gah. I think the world must be coming to an end - they were my *last* choices in their respective categories. Oh well; I can find some solace in the knowledge that not only did Michael Caine take best supporting actor, that annoying little kid from "The Sixth Sense" did *not.*

If you and I came into contact, we'd probably self-destruct, since you must be the antimatter version of me. I could not disagree more with every single opinion in these lines; Spacey and Swank deserved it, Caine was my last choice, and I thought Osment may well have given the performance of the year.
