Oscar Prediction Pool 2009

The Game Room

After searching everywhere for a good site for picks, I realized the American Idol pool site also offers Oscar Picks.

:smack:

Anyway, let’s do this thing.

Go here:

The name of pool is Dopers

Join and guess! :slight_smile:

Let me know if there are any troubles with the site. I’ve never used it before.

Whoa…anyone?

:confused:

Well, it’s a little clunky, but not too bad. I have to say that I don’t like the tiebreaker question - “What time will Best Picture be awarded?” I don’t know when the oscars start, exactly. Usually, it’s “How long will the ceremony last?”

Regardless, I’m gonna get all of 'em right.

ETA : I’m hrhomer on the pick site.

I’m there.

5

I’m in. I saw two movies last year, and neither is nominated for an Oscar.

Wish me luck.

6

I’m in as twickster.

7

I’m in.

8

It starts at 8:30 and I wish they let me pick a better question.

9

You could post your own tie-breaker here, and use that instead.

10

just added my picks this morning.

11

I’m in.

12

I’ve posted my picks. We’ll see how this goes. At least it gives me a reason to watch.

13

Last chance, everyone! The Oscars start tonight at 8:30 p.m. EST, so the pool closes at 8:00 sharp.

Get those picks in and give yourself a reason to watch(or follow anyway).

:slight_smile:

I’m in, just in time. Thanks for setting this up. Only Mostly Dead and I usually do a paper and pencil version of this for every award show, but since we’re in different states tonight, this will give me a chance to publicly kick his butt :wink:

15

All yall’s are goin’ DOWN!

Grrrr… I’m putting my Mickey Rourke Wrestler face on!

It’s better than my Kate Winslet Reader face…

I came in halfway-place! I don’t feel too bad about that.

Thanks for the Pool, Mahaloth! I wasn’t aware of it until today so I rushed my picks in before the deadline.

ETA: Congratulatons,** Sigmagirl**!

17

I got my ass kicked. I was going for a big Benjamin Button night.

18

I definitely took the wrong risks. Oops.

Note to self: big fluffy costumes (The Duchess) always win.

Fourth – not bad. (Hey, I beat ArchiveGuy, and he’s a trained professional!) I did my usual straight “EW predictions” ballot – except I went with Mickey Rourke over Sean Penn (they said it was close, and I was wowed by The Wrestler and didn’t see Milk). Ah well, live and learn.

Thanks for organizing, Mahaloth!

Wow! Thanks!

Good thing the tiebreaker wasn’t needed, because I was way off on that!
