OG do you have as complicated a method to run the Best by the Best game too?

As long as I have 400 things on my plate and no spare time to work on them in, yes.

Sabin is passing and Hustler hasn't been around so I'm going to jump ahead and replace Walter Matthau with Laurence Olivier in Khartoum.

Of course, if Hustler comes back within 48 hours of DWS' pick, he can over-rule my selection, otherwise the year is concluded.

Preserve James Mason. Not a great-great performance, but I'll never take a James Mason nomination away.

If that's the case, OK< it's certainly more of an accomplishment than Elmer Bernstein's. All he did was steal from his own score for the original Magnificent Seven.
