May 2007 Oscar Predictions

On Sunday, June 3rd the May Oscar winners will be announced. I can hardly stand that I have to wait another 2 days to find out who the winners are simply because we were teased with the nominees almost a week ago. Here are my predictions for the ceremony and I may not give a complete explanation on all the categories, and I will pick who I think will win, regardless of if it is my bait or not...
