I think I got 3 right. Seeing the final results I guess that it is like other awards where you can never second guest the judges choices because it is not only the performance in that particular film that is taken into account. That’s why I always loose when I bet on awards.
By the way Sanney, you said you would comment on the ending of Protégé. So, what do you think, did he or didn’t he? I must be a pessimist because my first reaction was that he did.
