I am just hoping Button gets some more love than just the tech awards (I loved the movie and would love for Fincher to somehow get best dir). I also hope Slumdog’s soundtrack, err I mean score, doesn’t win.
By my count it’s Mikey with 22 right, then G with 20 and me with 19. Dang. I knew I should have heeded the gossip about Departures…
