Americanized 2007 Ballot

Going with US release dates here. I'll post my actual 2007 ballot later in the year when I get a chance to watch Alexandra, The Edge of Heaven, The Man from London etc. I've now seen of the critically-beloved US releases from the awards season (Persépolis and Ratatouille are sadly exceptions) so without further ado, I present the Americanized 2007 Spiceys (better than the Oscars):
