Oscar 2008, mis apuestas (Oscar 2008 my bets)

A continuación les dejo mis apuestas sobre los que serán favorecidos con los Oscares, confieso que no he visto, con muy pocas excepciones, la gran mayoría de las películas, pero considerando las sorpresas (gratas e ingratas) que en la entrega de premios suelen ocurrir, mis apuestas pueden resultar tan o más buenas que las de aquellos que sí han visto la mayoría de las cintas. Sin más preámbulo mis elecciones (en azul)
