Playing with Oscar

Two more nights to the Academy Awards and we are playing.
Every year, Hubby, D and me pick our own Oscar winners. With our choices is a $5 bill. We watch the Oscars like it is the Super Bowl and whoever gets the most winners is $10 richer. Most of the time it goes to buy pizza on another movie night.

This is all in the spirit of fun, but choosing your winners can be daunting. It is a choice between who you feel should win, and who you think the Academy will choose.

Here goes my choices (in bold) and who the Academy might choose (major awards only) :

Best Picture :
Curious Case of Benjamin Button
Academy may choose: Slumdog Millionaire

Best Director :
David Fincher (Curious Case of Benjamin Button)
Academy may choose: Danny Boyle (Slumdog Millionaire)
