Yay! I got NONE right!
ReplyDeleteA glorious 3rd! My god, Tagmire, how could you NOT pick DDL for best actor?
ReplyDeleteI still haven't seen Lincoln, but I know of at least one better fake Lincoln. :)
DeleteI also haven't seen Bradley Cooper in Silver Linings Playbook, but if he's half as good as he was in Wet Hot American Summer, he'd get my vote.
(See my terrible voting process? This is why the cat would beat me.)
J is the real winner here because seriously, he TOTALLY beat the odds. Even our cat would randomly select at least one right. J is the real deal!
