3/5, missed collette and de la tour (i was thisclose to predicting her) for kikuchi and barraza in babel. let's pray the brits are smart enough to not give it to either of the brits here, because they pale in comparison to the other three performances. errr...that sentence made sense in my head.
There are a lot of other categories but meh. I know I'm all post-happy but once school starts again...
