The Oscars! An Alternative Ballot for 2010

oscars1

Yet again, my friends and I got together to celebrate the science and art of film.  Okay, we had cocktails, wine, beer, pizza, and dished on the whole thing.  What else are friends for?

It is a tradition that we cast our votes on the traditional Oscar categories plus some amazing alternative questions that are brilliantly composed by the host(s) of the party.  I thought you might get a kick out of these and/or want to spread the tradition.
