Where my picks for the Oscars stand at the end of 2007

I still have a number of films I need to see that will probably make a huge impact on my nominees (There Will Be Blood, Diving Bell, Gone Baby Gone, etc...) but here's how things would look if I ran the Oscars (boy wouldn't that be a great day..). Just to maintain some iota of suspense, all you have listed for you are my current nominees, but no winners or indications of rankings...I won't give those out until A) the night before the Oscars OR B) when I feel I've seen all I really need to see...
