2007 Movie Awards

This is my own personal list of awards. Some comments are in order, before its exhibition.

1. Why now? Well, because I just of thought of it.
2. Why 2007? Because I've yet to see all relevant 2008 movies to decide on that list.
3. 2008 list will follow before July the latest.
4. Where my preferences are tied, the values listed will be ordered alphabetically only.
5. I will try to mirror some American Academy Awards categories, however there won't be that many.

6. The categories will try to reflect dramatic Mise-en-scène.
7. Of course the preferences are biased, I'm not a machine.
