Yeah, it could really apply to either, which is why I wasn’t sure.
Just to continue the hijack – I was disappointed in Eddie Murphy’s decision to return to making cheesy comedies after he was so excellent in a dramatic role in Dreamgirls.
The man does not turn down $10 million no matter what. It’s basically his policy.

For history’s sake, here are some previous results we’ve had. The bad formatting is due to me copying and pasting from the web site we’ve used. You can ignore everything except the order of names(the places we came in).

2008 - Need to find the thread for this one
2007 - Need to find the thread for this one
Here is the thread for 2006. I won(I think) and got 21 out of 23 categories right, which I think is the record.
I won some other year, too. I got a Lion in Winter score CD. Yes, we actually had a prize one year. And no, I’m not offering a prize this year. 
Can anyone find any other threads? I’m sure we’ve been doing this since at least 2002, possibly even since 2001. I don’t remember every doing this in the AOL days, though.
Are you sure 2009 and 2010 aren’t in alpha order? I didn’t win either year, but I’m reasonably certain I didn’t come in last.
You are right, actually. Here is the correct placements for those years.

I have also found the 2003 thread, where I did indeed win the CD I mentioned. Here is the placements as best as I can reconstruct from the thread.
2003 Oscar Pool Results
- Mahaloth
- MovieMogul
- susan_foster
- ???
- Skammer
- ???
- mobo85
8-12. ??? - Twickster
Looks like Sigmagirl gave up all hope of a short ceremony in 2009. As, er, apparently myself as well. :o
Sorry for so many posts, but I’m collecting these results together and this is as good a place as any to put them. Besides, a little history review is quite fun.
I found the 2004 thread. I initially believed I had won again, but apparently we counted people who put their picks in the thread instead of on the site, so I came in 3rd behind a tie for first.
2004 Oscar Pool Results:
- richardb/Equipoose
- Mahaloth
4-12. ??? - Archiveguy/Twickster
Found the 2005 thread. Apparently, I did not play that year(or at least post in thread). I must have played, but been silent.
Anyway, here is what I know.
2005 Oscar Pool Results
- partlycloudy(logandear was the off-site name)
I honestly have no idea who placed where beyond that. I always try to post results in-game after the ceremony.

Can’t find 2007, although I’m quite sure we had one. Didn’t we?
Didn’t say I had never come in last. 
Not sure if there were more than 13 that year, though.
Less than 12 hours to the ceremony folks! Get your picks in!
You mean I won the 2009 Oscar pool? And have been ignorant of it for three years when I could have been doing the nyah nyah nyah happy dance? omg!
Sigma, good job on being the only one to pick Hugo to win for cinematography. The only shock of the night so far…and puts you in the lead.
Woohoo!
2nd place!
Congrats, Bob Ducca! I was doing okay until I blew both top acting prizes.
Congrats Bob!
Sorry, I completely forgot to congratulate Bob Ducca!!
