Oscar fever... We've caught it!

The girls and I have officially come down with "Oscar Fever."
We just printed an Oscar ballot in advance of this Sunday's awards show. We will be attending a small get-together with friends to watch "Red Carpet" coverage and the early portions of the ceremony's broadcast.
This morning, we also watched Samuel Tourneux's "Meme Les Pigeons Vont Au Paradis (Even Pigeons Go to Heaven)," one of the films nominated for animated short. You can see it on YouTube by clicking here.
A rather crooked priest attempts to trick an old miser (pictured) into paying for a contraption that ensures his journey into heaven.
The story is good and the animation is wonderful, including an impressive, overhead shot of the old man falling off a stool in slow motion.
I can't really predict the outcome of the various Oscar races, although a sweep by "No Country For Old Men" wouldn't surprise me.
