AND THEN THE NOMINATIONS ARE IN...JENG JENG JENGGG!

My prediction is a little off. This is the official nomination list. I got shot down with my Best Actor and Actress - Hati Malaya cast was not nominated at all for this category.
What is also surprising is that two highly educated directors got left out of the Best Director category - Associate Professor (since 2001) Razak Mahideen and Dr Annuar Nur Arai.
I coloured my new predictions in red. Please note that this prediction is not based on merit - not my CHOICE - but instead who I think the jury will be selecting.
