Oscar contest
It's funny, because I won the contests at home and at work. But I changed a lot of choices, like a lot of us did, for this contest. Oh, well. I must say, though, that the three awards for The Bourne Ultimatum were a big shock to me. I thought maybe one, but three? Is that to make up for not nominating the first two movies?
"Because here’s the thing about life: There’s no accounting for what fate will deal you. Some days when you need a hand. There are other days when we’re called to lend a hand." -- President Joe Biden, 01/20/2021

If anybody's interested, I've tallied up everyone's cumulative choices and ranked them in order by how many points they received. Everyone's 1st choice received one point and their 2nd choice received 1/2 point. The results are kind of interesting...
The first number represents the total number of first place predictions a film received. The number in parentheses represents the number of runner-up predictions it received...
