2006 Oscar Picks

This week on The Ghostwood Development Project I have assembled a panel of four to discuss our picks for this years Academy Award winners. The panel includes myself, Dane Whipple (sorry Dane just guessing on your last names spelling), Jackson Irish, and Joe Luque. Ghostwood airs Sunday from 2:00-2:30 PM on AM 730 in the Boise area and online at that same time via 'the listen live link' at pulse.boisestate.edu. As often times who or what you think will win an Academy Award (or any award for that matter) is not who or what you would like to win that award, accordingly each panelist will give both their predicted winner and personal favorite/routing interest for each category covered. I will present my picks with P standing for my pick to win, and R for the film I will be routing for on Sunday evenings broadcast:
