Academy Awards  for 2007
Last Updated: 02/26/08

OSCAR SHOW - February 24, 2008
Accuracy Rate: For Year  - 66%

2006 - 66%; 2005 - 100% ; 2004 - 66%: 2003 - 100%: 2002 - 50%; 2001 - 83%; 2000 -  50% ; 1999 -  66%  

Well, here we go again.  There always seems to be some leaders of the pack, but every year there is a surprise or two -
just ask the female nominees and winners.  I have admired Tilda Swinton's work since I saw her in "Orlando". 
The other movie I can recommend is "The Deep End". 
My personal surprise is how many of the nominated pictures I have missed this year.
I have included my guesses with my personal choices - which don't always match. 
I have added links to
all movies I have seen to my review pages.
Also, follow this LINK to see my choices as the best movies of last year.

And the Oscar Goes to
