And the winner is...

Hi Kari:

I live a few miles from Hollywood and Highland which is where the Kodak Theatre hosts the Oscars. Local media is pretty much all-Oscars-all-the-time.

So ... here are my picks:
Best Supporting Actor -- Tim Robbins, MYSTIC RIVER
Best Supporting Actress -- Patricia Clarkson, PIECES OF APRIL
Best Actor -- Bill Murray, LOST IN TRANSLATION
Best Actress -- Naomi Watts, 21 GRAMS
Best Director -- Peter Jackson, THE LORD OF THE RINGS: THE RETURN OF THE KING
Best Picture -- THE LORD OF THE RINGS: THE RETURN OF THE KING

What do you think?

UPDATE: I wasn't suprised that Zellwegger took the supporting actress nor Theron the actress Oscars. They were getting the most buzz but I thought an upset was possible. I was surprised that Bill Murray lost. As an LOTR fan, I was pleased to see them take 11 out of 11!
