Oscar Predictions Contest
Re: Oscar Predictions Contest
Returning to my tradtion, here is the most recent year, based on the years the films were released, where I correctly predicted a category:
2020:
Picture
Direction
Original Screenplay
Adapted Screenplay
Supporting Actor
Supporting Actress
Intetnational Feature
Documentary Feature
Animated Feature
Live Action Short Subject
Animated Short Subject
Original Score
Film Editing
Sound
Production Design
Visual Effects
Makeup And Hairstyling
2019:
Lead Actor
Lead Actress
Documentary Short Subject
Original Song
Cinematography
Costume Design
Even though I came in last in the 2019 contest, I still managed to get every category right at least once for the last two contests.

Possibly, but the only one mentioned in the summary is for Best Actress.Sabin wrote:I'm not doing the math but didn't I get more bonus points

Re: Oscar Predictions Contest
I'm glad I'm not the one doing the calculations on this contest because unless I'm missing something, it looks to me like Jefforey tied Sabin for first place. Sabin and Jefforey appear to have gotten four wrong and Sonic five, if I counted correctly. All three got double points for one entry.
Sonic missed Actor, Actress, Song, Cinematography, and Doc Short.
Sabin missed Actor, Song, Cinematography, and Doc Short.
Jefforey missed Actor, Actress, Cinematography, and Song.

Re: Oscar Predictions Contest
I did a search. It went as far back as 2012 (for the 2011 Oscars). Since that time, Jefforey Smith has won this contest THREE TIMES (although once was a result of a three-way tie). No one else has won more than once. (In years he didn't win, he is almost always in the upper-tier percentile) I started doing the double and triple point twist back in 2017 (for the 2016 Oscars). I don't know if that would've altered any results though.Greg wrote:Do we have our own Frances McDormand or Anthony Hopkins here? In that, has anyone won this contest more than once? I remember I won once, the year The Hurt Locker won Best Picture.
So when you read Jefforey Smith's predictions, pay closer attention!

Re: Oscar Predictions Contest
Congratulations, Sabin.
This is about as well as I've ever performed in the contest, and it only took me 20 years to get to this point. Who knows, maybe I'll win by 2040.

Despite all the brickbats I've received here and the accusations of being racist, I got caught up with all the "woke" nonsense so prevalent here and was convinced of not only Boseman winning (on pure sentiment of course) but was equally convinced that the Academy would finally give the lead award to a black actress this year. So Davis was in as far as I was concerned. I saw Day's film the day of the Oscars and liked her a lot but still chose Davis over her because of the former's much more illustrious career. Both actresses were superb. I love McDormand's performance the most amongst the nominees but like so many here thought it was too soon for her to win again and that too a third Oscar. For me Mulligan was never in the running. I thought she was totally miscast and just didn't believe her in the film. In fact I found her absolutely ridiculous in all those scenes where she is trying to act seductive and coming on to men in the bar. It was like seeing a 9 year-old girl putting on lipstick and high heels and trying to act like a femme fatale. Fun as a halloween stunt but a complete turn-off in real life.
