How Did I Do?

BIG EIGHT: 33/40 - 82.5%
TECHS AND OTHERS: 39/63 - 61%
ALL TOGETHER: 70%

Not a bad year! Got all the Best Picture, Original Screenplay, and Cinematography correct, but those sound and music nominees killed me. Who thought Enchanted would grab 3 songs. I mean really!

Apparently Into The Wild did not hold the power that many thought it would only scoring 2 nods. Not even Sean Penn could pull out a directing nod (YAY JASON REITMAN!!!).

There is quite the brawl for the most nominations though:

Atonement - 7
Michael Clayton - 7
No Country For Old Men - 8
There Will Be Blood - 8

So......exciting
