4/5 [80%] NOMINATION PREDICTION RATE / SEE WHO I PREDICTED
Who got robbed (either Actors with good buzz or ones I just felt deserved the recognition):
Paul Giamatti (Sideways) - of course / Liam Neeson (Kinsey) / Javiar Bardem (The Sea Inside) / Jeff Bridges (The Door in the Floor) - as always / Bill Murray (The Life Aquatic) / Gael Garcia Bernal (Bad Education and/or The Motorcycle Diaries) / Jim Carrey (Eternal Sunshine)
who should win:
Cheadle should take this award (since Jeff Bridges, Paul Giamatti and Kevin Bacon were not nominated)

who will win:
Jamie Foxx will win this (but Clint could, barely, surprise - but doubtful)...

and the Oscar goes to...
Jamie Foxx in Ray - one of the easiest picks of the night.
