OFCS Awards: Winners
I guess it's a good thing I gave Melanie Laurent those extra five points with my second-place vote. Here is the full list of winners. Respectable, even if I'm already sick to death of Anvil (not a bad film, but dammit if it isn't relatively meaningless in comparison to The Cove).

UPDATE 1/7/10: Here's something new: the OFCS has prepared via webcam their own Awards ceremony of sorts, replicated here for your viewing pleasure. I haven't actually looked at these yet myself; I tend to find this sort of thing embarrassing, even when it's not me on display (and yes, I have found myself as the proverbial deer in the headlights once before in such a manner, but I'll be damned if I'm going to say when, how, or where).

OFCS Awards: Ballot
Kept things simple this year, voting for only one movie per category (as opposed to ranking all five), two at most when the competition was close enough. Last year my selections proved 75% accurate; I seriously doubt I'll be that elated come the announced results this year. Full roster of nominees can be found here. When different, I've included my predicted winners in parenthesis.
