Did anyone else have to look up the word "lenticular"?

No? Just me?

Sad.

Let's take the safe bets:
Hurt Locker
Bigelow
Bridges
Bullock
Transformers

I win. Y'all can stop now.

@kiala: Lenticular means, "having to do with Lent, a stupid Jewish holiday celebrating goats." Or maby it means, "a portmanteau of Lents and spectacular"

I don't know. Erik is making up words.

I don't think I'm eligible for prizes but I want the glory of victory all the same.

This is brilliant: You're effectively hinging the win on whether or not someone can correctly guess who wins Sound Mixing. This is like giving contestants on Wheel of Fortune RSTLN E and their final puzzle is "CTHULHU"

I'm fairly certain Star Trek is taking Sound Mixing.

Sigh.

I live in a world in which internet nerds think Sandra Bullock is going to win an oscar.

Deep sigh.
18
She is. It's a foregone conclusion.

Knowing this doesn't mean we AGREE with it.

I'm not saying you're wrong; internet nerds are usually right about movies. It's just sad is all.

The New York Times made a good case for Hurt Locker winning in the sound category:

Shame too.

@alison: That NYT's article is on the nominees for Sound Editing, not for Sound Mixing. What's the difference between those two categories? I've got no idea. I read the whole thing and was like, "They never talked about Transformers?"

Even though it's the Oscars, and even though my prognostication in no way reflects my own opinion, it still pains me to choose Avatar.

But it'll take vice-gripped genitals for me to choose Sandra Bullock/The Blind Side for anything. Never, ever, ever, EVER.
