Ok, I’m in!
I haven’t seen all the nominated films or performances, so right now I’ve got most of my eggs in a Million Dollar basket–I’m a diehard Eastwood fan. I liked **The Aviator ** quite a bit too, though, so I may change some of my picks before the deadline.
Interesting that only one best picture nominee is also nominated for best score.
I’m in. This should be interesting because I can say that I haven’t seen a single one of these movies. Essentially I am equivalent to the chick in the office pool for the NCAA tournament that picks the teams based on cute mascots or good uniform color but can’t explain a pick and roll.
So, this will either be really ugly for me, or really ugly for all of you if I win.
One last bumpity-bump before the weekend. It’s not too late to compete for a prize!
Best of luck, everybody! 
Hey, our group is on the first page. 
I’m in. Thanks, ArchiveGuy!
Got mine in, first try. 
Woo hoo! I’m tied for third!
“I’d like to thank my parents, and God, and Entertainment Weekly…”
Tied for first! I don’t even care where I end up – I am doing a full-tilt dance of joy at this particular moment.
I’ve only scored 3 points so far.
We were supposed to pick the winners??
Holy crap! Tied for first place. Scorcese, don’t fail me now.
Ah, nuts. Congratulations, logandear.
Yay!! Who’d have thought I could ever win anything! I mean, just a humble gal from a trailer park…
It’s a shame, cos I was really rooting for Scorsese for Directing.
twickster, Premiere magazine is where it’s at.
Apparently – EW been very, very good to me, though! This is a hell of a lot better than I usually do. (Good God, I beat Archive Guy twice!?!?!?!?
Congrats, logandear!
Thanks, I was up against some really good people who are all worthy of this award. (sniff)
LoganDear: Woo Hoo! COngrats! Good for you!
It was an honor just to have been nominated with you… I mean, not that I was actually nominated or anything, but … I came in 17th out of 20! Not bad, considering that I had only seen two of the movies! I consider it a triumph of the human spirit.
Glassy, I don’t care *what *the Academy says, your performance left me speechless.
Bravo to all the contenders… and to all you people, out there, in the dark.
Now what’s this I hear about a prize?
Woo-hoo! Incredibles slams Dreamworks! And not only does Edna Mode get to present “Best Costume Design,” she even dings the outfits in the press room!
Woo hoo! I won the office pool! (with a perfect score!) Of course, they only did ten categories, and none of that pesky “best documentary short” or “best song” nonsense that tripped me up here.
Congratulations to LoganDear. The prize is a CD of Elmer Bernstein’s Oscar-nominated score to The Magnificent Seven, the music they played last night to get Hilary Swank to shut up (Bernstein was also among the honored departed in last night’s obit montage).
Go ahead and e-mail me your snail mail address and I’ll mail the prize out. Congrats again and thanks to everyone for playing!
