Spoiled Movie Endings

78th Annual Academy Awards (2006)
Presentation to air on TV on Sunday, March 5, 2006 for films released in 2005.

... and yes, we skip some categories... just because I don't care about best editing, for example.

Last year, I did reasonably well (hitting 12 of the 16 categories I chose to pitch a vote upon). I think this year I need to beat that record, but at least, match it.

I've come to the notion that it's not necessarily the *best* in each category, but a combination of the quality of the nominees and politics. It's all politics and who you know, man. So I have both my picks that deserve to win, and those I figure are the "popular" picks to win (and those aren't always the same, obviously).

The Should Win (Rubber Ducky) is whom I think ought to win, the Who Will Win (Gold Star)is my guess of who will win, and once announced, the title in bold is the actual winner.
