cool. I still think this is one of the hardest years to predict several categories.

[Sycophant]

I'm feeling abnormally confident in my predictions here.

Joined! :)

This is the toughest year in a while. Oscar night and this contest are pretty much the high point of my year, so hopefully we get a lot of people participating. :pritch:

I won my Film Theory class pool last year, so I'm up for this. Joined.

[ledfloyd]

i'm in.

there are some tough ones. particularly the foreign language films nobody has seen.

[megladon8]

I still predict No Country For Old Men will clean up.

But I have to admit a lot of my choices were complete guesses, since I haven't seen any of the shorts, any of the docs, and several of last year's big releases which are nominated.

[Ezee E]

I'll predict that Atonement wins the most awards, but does not win Best Picture (that's obvious).

I signed up. If I somehow managed to win any prize, it would be sent to the lucky residents of 32 Halifax Street, Halifax.

I have a bad feeling that Juno will win Best Picture. But that's just me.

EDIT: Oh I joined and submitted my ballot already.

Same here.

If you're a betting man, it's got 15/1 odds right now. That's a good payout.

Daniel Day-Lewis and Bardem have 1/10 odds. Heh.

Hmm, I'm a bit more optimistic than that, but if Juno does indeed win, I'll lose the little respect I had for the awards ceremony and probably consider it as useless as the Grammys.

[MadMan]

I joined, even though I don't have any idea who will win and stuff. I just voted and most of them were guesses. And not even educated ones at that. This will be the opposite of last year's voting where I had actually seen some of the nominees and I had an idea of what was going down.

[Kurosawa Fan]

I'm in, and utterly clueless. Should be interesting.

[Barty]

More people need to sign up.

[Barty]

Last few hours to sign up and/or change your predictions!

[Sycophant]

Don't be stupid, be a smarty. Come and join our Oscar party!

[Barty]

Damn straight. Heil Oscar!

[MadMan]

I somehow finished in double digits. Yikes that was ugly. But still I'm doing it again next year.

PS: I went .500 in the "major" categories. It was the little ones that did me in.

PS: Barty how did you lose to amber? By one point man. One point.

[chrisnu]

Our pool finished in second place by two points. Damn.

[Ezee E]

Damn. Guess I should have updated it then....

D'oh.

[Ezee E]

Damn, there were four categories I could've won if I updated. Oh well.
