Kellene’s ‘08 Oscar Winner Predictions

oscars.jpg

I noticed that many people are looking at the Oscar prediction list I created originally two days before the nominations were announced. I will unfortunately be working that night, but I will keep up to date on the festivites. Of course, duh! Even my co-workers have teased me about it!

As a result of all the hits, I’ve decided to help everyone with their pools. Recently I won our work’s Super Bowl pool – by total chance though! Anyway, I’ll help you with winners for this year’s show. Just be nice and let me have credit when you win!

I do have to make one admission — I’m not very good in the technical areas so take my predictions at your own risk.
