Jeff, surely there's no one whom you would trust with predix in 2009 more than Mr. 538:

Benjamin Button for Best Picture and Director? Supporting Actor in a "dead heat"? Whatever, dude. Also, this is the first guy I've heard calling Button his favorite movie of the year.

I have to say, I'm quite shocked that Ron Howard is not the oldest person nominated for Best Director. Who knew?

I hope people listen to this guy; it will make it easier to win Oscar pools.

These statistics are pretty arbitrary. I'd suspect he's rigging it to make 'Button' look better, but to what end?

Still, here's a statistic: No actor has ever won an Oscar for playing a US president. Disadvantage: Frank Langella.

"The nominee with at least two major pre-awards has gone on to win the Oscar 22 of 30 times (73.33%). Advantage: Penn "

So, which isn't a major award, the BAFTA or the Golden Globe?
