Yes, but that pick could be diluted by picking other deaths that are not as worth as many points.
I am advocating a QUALITY not quantity award.
For the picker who only picked one death correctly, but got the most points.
I want make it like Tee Ball. Everyone gets a trophy.
Alright, it’s time for the awards!
The “Opening Kickoff “ goes to Quartz, for their unique selection of Paul Goggins.
The “Quantity Not Quality” award is shared by Randy Seltzer, CAMJAY77, and Registered at Last, all of whom had five choices kick off.
The “Inside Track With The Grim Reaper” award is shared by bassett hound, Invisible Chimp, and The Vorlon. They each had two unique picks.
The “Robbing The Cradle” award goes to bassett hound, for selecting Anton Buslov
And, the “Final Hours” award also goes to bassett hound, for their selection of Mary Ann Mobley. So bassett hound has three awards.
And of course, the overall winner is Randy Seltzer, who narrowly edged out CAMJAY77, to win with the most points, 241. Huzzah!
Congratulations, winners! Whoo-hoo! 
English Actor Bernard Kay. Died on Monday Age 86.

Congrats to all on another well played year! And thanks to Baker for another year at the helm.
Last year (2013) was my first year. I did much better with two deaths. This year, nada.
I guess I can take consolation that I ended up in the double-digit placings rather than finishing 100th place or below.
I will always take comfort in the fact that this is the year that proved I was right to keep Ariel Sharon on my list.
I never did get out all the final scores:

Woo hoo. Roger Maris!!
Top Ten! WooHoo!
Congrats to all the awardees!
And condolences to all those who mourned all the dearly departed this past year.
Including myself, Mom, sisters, brother, daughter & nephew on the passing of my Dad on August 30.
My condolences.
Sorry for your loss, Kitten Mitten, but well done on your top ten placing.
I agree Eliahna. I lost my dad in September, yet I play and enjoy this game.
The way I see it, if I was an eligible celebrity, I’d be thrilled to be on somebody’s list. That would mean someone was still thinking about me, and I’d be glad to make them happy.
Thanks carnivorousplant, Eliahna and Baker! Couldn’t mention it any sooner but now that the holidays have passed and it’s a new year, I’m feeling a lot better.
Top 85! Woo-HOOOO!
I have all the confidence in the world that I’ll be breaking the top 80 in 2015.
Three days into the new year, and no late reports of death, so I think it’s safe to post…
Woo hoo! My second top-10 finish, and my first win!
I’d like to thank google, for letting me perform searches such as “bin laden of russia”, “irreversible coma”, and my favorite “diagnosed with terminal.”
I’d, of course, like to thank Baker, for running the game this year, as well as the posters who ran it in previous years. Thanks guys!
The odds suggest I’ll never have as much success as this year, so I’m gonna savor it: I shelled out the eight bucks for the custom title for the year. Feel free to covet my vaunted win for the next 365 days.
Congratulations Randy! [del]I hate your guts [/del] I love your custom title.
Bin ladin of Russia?
Love the custom title! Well played 
Dokka Umarov: often called Russia’s Bin Laden. I guess I should also thank Google’s auto-correct.
I hope next year’s winner follows suit. Could be a fun tradition.
