Trophy time!

Back by popular (?) demand, it's my guaranteed, 100-percent accurate picks for the Oscar nominations. I'm pretty much in line with conventional wisdom, except I don't think The Diving Bell and the Butterfly will do as well as some do. (Best Picture? Really?)

I guess we'll find out tomorrow morning, or you can take what follows as gospel. (I recommend option two.) Oh, and my tentative picks for winners are in bold.
