3/5 [60%] NOMINATION PREDICTION RATE / SEE WHO I PREDICTED
who should win:
It's pretty scary when The Village is the best one in the category (where are all the really great scores: Sideways, Bad Education, House of Flying Daggers, Vera Drake, Birth ??)

who will win:
This is going to be Finding Neverland's one win for the night (although watch out for The Passion)...

2/5 [40%] NOMINATION PREDICTION RATE / SEE WHO I PREDICTED
who should win:
I wasn't much impressed with any of these songs, but if pressed for an answer, I'd go with the Motorcycle Diaries number (anything but that horrid Acccidentally in Love song - God I hate that song!)

who will win:
Refusing to pick The Counting Crows (even though it may win) and passing over the much predicted Polar Express and Phantom songs, I'm going to pick "Al Otro Lado Del Río" from The Motorcycle Diaries...
