Oops, fixed it. Thats not so good Bluto

I had a feeling I was gonna blow the leading actress pick. I thought since all of the films had little fanfare that the leads were nominated in that I would vote for the girl that seems to be getting the most buzz, even if it was a comedy. I won't make that mistake again. Next year 100%!

Bluto · « **Reply #19 on:** February 25, 2008, 04:55:18 AM »

yes

and then we can bet on golden globes and cannes and grammy !!!
