I've still yet to see Django and ZDT, but I'm already a little annoyed Leo got snubbed. I like Amy Adams, but I'm pretty pissed she got a nomination, it was such a nothing performance. Obviously I'm rooting for Life of Pi.<br /><br />I predicted the leading actor and supporting actor categories correctly, so happy about that haha.<br /><br />My website is back up and running by the way :DLights Camera Reactionhttp://lightscamerareaction.co.uknoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5030627662498151745.post-71108657252725575682013-01-13T15:42:58.706-05:002013-01-13T15:42:58.706-05:00That's great!

I made a few gambles that didn't pay off, but such is the game.<br /><br />Yeah, the Amour nods are great, even if Riva's (?) comes as Cotillard's expense.

Cotillard unfortunately missed it but I won't complain much. That line-up is still good. Disappointed by Intouchables and Affleck misses though.SDGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09331736603243732602noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5030627662498151745.post-48323290165694685722013-01-10T16:43:32.888-05:002013-01-10T16:43:32.888-05:00I'd say you really rocked your predictions.
