[Big Magilla]

Are you deliberately trying to lose?

No, but the thought had occurred to me that I might end up with the lowest score in the history of these contests. On the other hand, how delicious it will be if I'm right and the smug oscarologists, or whatever they're calling themselves on Gold Derby and the other sites these days, are falling all over themselves trying to come up with explanations as to why their carefully considered forecasts were so wrong.

I will be just as happy to see All Quiet on the Western Front win Best Picture and Michelle Yeoh win Best Actress but I want to see more from the Daniels before they are awarded with Oscar gold. And phooey on Baz Luhrmann's Elvis.

[anonymous1980]

I'm putting it up a little early so there will be plenty of time to alter your predictions since it's such an unpredictable year in a lot of categories.

Here are the rules just in case you guys forgot them:

01. Predict the winners in all 23 categories.

02. You can predict one winner and one OPTIONAL runner-up.

03. A correct prediction with a runner-up gets 2 points, a correct runner-up gets 1 point and a correct prediction with no runner-up gets 3 points.

04. If three or less people correctly predict a category, they will get DOUBLE the points (including runner-up predictions). If you're the ONLY one to correctly predict a category, you get TRIPLE the points. (NOTE: This rule is also applicable to the bonus tie-breaker questions as well)

05. Highest score wins!

06. Deadline for entries/changes would be when the Oscar red carpet show begins!

OPTIONAL BONUS TIE BREAKER POINTS!

01. Who will be the last person in the In Memoriam montage? (three points)

02. Who will be the FIRST person in the In Memoriam montage? (three points)

03. Which Best Picture nominees will go home empty-handed? (it has to be exactly right) (three points)
