Little Miss Sunshine won the Spirit Award for Best Picture yesterday, and with that an extra-special hooray for Academy-snubbed producers Albert Berger and Ron Yerxa, who ought to take the stage tonight at the Oscar and when LMS wins Best Picture. Sunshine helmers Jonathan Dayton and Valerie Faris also won for Best Director, and Sunshine author Michael Arndt won for Best First Screenplay.

Jeff, I'm confused. You're now saying LMS will win Best Picture? Your "final" call on Friday was for Babel. Please clarify.

Yeah, I was gonna say, it doesn't count as a prediction if you go on record saying, at different times, that three different movies will win. Flip your coin, make your pick; accept it, the Oscars this year have just a little bit of suspense right at the end, because there is a chance that any of three movies could win.

I still maintain it will be 'Babel', but just pick one and stick to it, dude.
