2011 Oscars! And the Second Annual a2k Oscar Community Pool!

Welcome once again to Oscar season! On Sunday, 27 February 2011 17:00 PST/20:00 EST, the 83rd Academy Awards will be giving their awards for the best films of 2011.
http://www.oscars.org/awards/academyawards/83/nominees.html

This year will be slightly different and hopefully more forgiving. And like this year's Super Bowl pool, or last year's World Cup pool, or last year's World Series pool, you don't need to have seen all or any of the films though that might help or actually hurt your chances depending on your luck and/or taste in movies.

To participate in the following contest: Pick your choices from the list below and list it in your post.

If you choose your ballot then wish to revise your choices before the deadline, then repost your entire list of guesses (educated or otherwise) then in the post write something along the lines that This is my my revised Oscar list and this new list will nullify your old ballot. Of course, once the deadline has passed, no revisions will be accepted.

TO simplify it, I will be exercising the short films and sound awards. I will also be giving points for getting the correct answers depending on the category.

VOTING WILL BE ALLOWED UNTIL 23:59 hours EST (NYC time) Saturday, 26th February 2011.
