throwing darts: my oscar picks

I am letting you all know my picks for the oscars this year. Even if James Cameron deserves an Avitar nod (special effects) I am not giving him one. I don't like him. Videogum used the pic above for their oscar picks and I thought it was awesome. So they can have a nod instead. James Cameron's site probably just has a picture of him.
