My Oscar picks

OK... everybody that cares just a little bit about the Academy Awards has their picks and opinions as who they would nominate for the Oscar's. I'm no different. So... this is if it was up to me on who I would have voted for for this years Oscar picks compared to how the Academy ended up voting. I left a bunch of the technical categories off, because truthfully, I don't care. * denotes who I'd have as the winner...
