Real Predictions, from a Guy Who Takes This Too Seriously
by Scott Hardie on February 25, 2007

Some of my Oscar contest predictions are solely based on my odds of "winning" the contest. I'm curious to find out if what film I really think will win in certain categories comes out on top.
Best Picture: Babel
Best Original Screenplay: Babel
Best Original Score: Babel
Best Film Editing: Blood Diamond
Best Costume Design: Marie Antoinette
Here's looking forward to a good show tonight. I won't have online access where I'm going to watch, so don't look for any changes in the scores until a couple of hours after the show ends.

Pico de Greedo
On Friday, my company threw a part Mexican, part Star Wars party in celebration of Cinco de Mayo and Star Wars Day ("May the 4th be with you"). It was a weird combination but it worked, with games like a lightsaber piñata bash. Kelly made "lightsabers" (pretzel rods frosted with blue and red frosting), but she really got interested when I mentioned that the salsa contest offered three prizes and only had three teams on the signup sheet.

The Wedding
Kelly and I wed on March 15, an event that we've been looking forward to for a very long time. Despite keeping the wedding modest and casual, it still involved a great deal of planning and anxiety, occupying my attention for the last few months. (Kelly was in charge of her outfit; I planned everything else, with her approval at each stage.) Go »

Thank goodness for The Formula. I'd have had 57 points by sticking to my instincts.
