Empty-Handed Best Pic' Nominees: Up in the Air, District 9, An Education and
A Serious ManNathaniel's Predictions: Not bad. Definitely not great. I wasn't psychic this year, that's for damn sure. I scored 16/24 all categories... messing up terribly in the little discussed categories of short films. I also biffed it and doubly so on both screenplays and sound categories. Otherwise I was spot on. (Should've trusted myself about that
Precious screenplay surprise. I almost went there).
Hope you had a great time wherever you were watching it from! More commentary coming over the next two days.
