oscars anyone?
so usually i am involved in an oscars contest of some sort. that might be difficult given the fact that i'm a different hemisphere, but i've decided to include my picks anyway and if you're interested include yours too and we'll see just whose cuisine reigns supreme! (chomp!)

I do believe you'll be buying me a pint, ray :)
not sure what "premium draught" is but i think a nice cold pint of leffe would hit the spot... mmm... beer.
a couple "believe" fans eh? i always thought josh grobin was right up your guys's alley... he's a few shades paler than michael bolton. btw i'm throwing in a sweet ecuador prize pack as well - anyone else like to up the ante?
so far everyone but tuan thinks aviator's a lock - apparently (according to the bbc) million dollar baby has become the fav... we'll see.
can we change our picks if we should see any more of the nominees between now and sunday and feel a change is in order?
I want an ecuador prize back and a pint. if I somehow don't happen to win, I will also throw something in to the prize pile - consider the ante way upped.
after seeing the aviator last night i wish to change my pics - and erase those 2 and a half hours from my mind...
everyone is free to change their pics up to the time the awards start but that will all be secondary to the main prize which is dependent on the drunken selections we all made the first time... regardless of whether we say the movies or not (i have now seen one of the main pics, although with time and therapy hopefully i won't remember it...)
I wish to change two of my picks:
animated feature - shrek 2
documentary feature - born into brothels
thank you.
looking forward to tomorrow, and forward to all the booty I'm gon' get!
just to let everyone know officially i do change my best pic to million dollar baby. i accept that i have already chosen the lacklustre aviator and i shall live with the consequences, but i want it on the record that i picked the winner.
ok, so i know it's just 3 hours till showtime, but i can't pass up an oscar battle...
