Admin Hero1 Posted December 12, 2006 Admin Report Share Posted December 12, 2006 Go Jaden :1-say-yes: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Typhoon20 Posted December 12, 2006 Report Share Posted December 12, 2006 I doubt will gets an oscar, but I think Jaden is a lock. He deserves it, but with oscars you never know. I thought will's ali nomination was a lock, he deserved it. Oh well. I hope father & son get the award but I doubt it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
