LADIES AND GENTLEMEN ... I'VE TRAVELED OVER HALF OUR STATE TO BE HERE TONIGHT: Traditionally, this is about the part of Oscar Week when we finally sit down and talk about our rooting interests for the show -- not predictions of what will happen, but what we're hoping to see happen. And since the best film I saw from 2007 was the not-nominated-for-anything Zodiac and I've only seen two of the nominated films (Clayton, Blood) and four of the twenty nominated performances ... well, I'm mostly hoping that Jon Stewart puts on a good show (and that the milkshake joke is a good one), that Roderick Jaynes gives a kick-ass speech if he wins for Best Editing, and that Ratatouille be honored at least once. You?

[Necrology predictions and other wagering will come in a separate post.]
