My 2008 Oscar Ballot

I'm a Netflix kinda guy, and only go to the cineplex about ten times a year, which is my way of saying I still haven't seen the vast majority of the films and performances nominated for this years Academy Awards. However, this ignorance never kept anyone, especially me, from picking the winners. I watch alot of trailers online. Isn't that enough these days?
