Comments

Well done on your predix, I got 17/24, not my finest!

Thanks for the time and effort you have put into giving this years (imo) best awards season and film commentary, both on your blog and over at Variety, it has been great.

*Here's to a another great year*

You guys did much better than I did! 10 for 24, quite possibly my worst showing ever!

Kevin O'Connell is now 0 for 20. Ouch!

I completely missed The Bourne Ultimatium winning. I feel like an idiot now.
