(should have gone with my gut)

I can’t remember my password or what email address I used. Can someone check how I did? I got 16/24 at out home contest but I know I chose some different ones.

You ended up in a three-way tie for second place with 15 correct.

I was in a huge tie for 6th with 13 correct. Considering that Superman Returns was the only nominated movie that I saw I’m not upset. Yay for radio button choices!

I got 15, not bad!!

Tied for 6th – Entertainment Weekly let me down badly this year! :smiley:

Congrats – and thanks! – Archive Guy!

Agreed about EW. Every previous year they’ve done better than my guesses alone, so I voted straight down with them this time - what a mistake! The ones I wanted to vote for would have done better. Oh well…there’s always next year. :slight_smile: Thanks again, ArchiveGuy!

Thanks to everyone for playing. It’s been a while since I’ve won this, so I’m glad I can save a little money this year (I’ve already got tons of Morricone CDs in my collection already).

See you next year!
