Justin's Honorific Film Awards 2007

Yeah, so I'm travelling in India, but that doesn't mean I've stopped thinking about movies night and day! It's awards season for the year 2007, and it's the first year I've actually seen a majority of the films nominated (hooray for living within walking distance from a theater!), so I can't wait to see who gets honored. My picks are by no means definitive because there are a bunch of movies I didn't get to see, but I put a lot of thought into these choices, so I hope you enjoy.
