When “I updated my pics”, that means I changed my BP winner from _American Hustle_ to _12 Years a Slave_, figuring that two 70s-themed movies in a row won’t win BP. Watch this bite me in the ass. 😃 ---

I think Eyebrows of Doom and I can only tie for the win. If I’ve looked correctly, we have all the same picks from here to the end. ---

Congrats Mahaloth! I was 50/50 on Original Screenplay between Her & American Hustle and picked the wrong one. Came in 2nd at my Oscar party as well. ---

I tried submitted my picks like five times and it never worked. I got 13 out of 24 so it wouldn’t have mattered. ---

> [@etv78](#): > > Mahaloth-Which 2 did you miss? Oddly enough, both of the shorts. Animated and Live-action Short Films. It’s odd that I missed those so early on and nailed everything else. It just worked out. ---

Here is a listing of all our picks and the final scores. I couldn’t get it to put the top points up top, so it stacked them downwards for some reason. [See it here.](http://imgur.com/RNuF4i9) ---
