Congratulations, Jefforey Smith.

Interestingly, none of us got the Best Picture & Director combination. The best that some of us did was to guess one or the other. None of us thought Bong would win both.

In retrospect, we should have seen it coming. Parasite's momentum just kept building all through awards season. With all four acting prizes locked in early on, the only place for voters to pull off a surprise was in Picture and Director and they did just that. It redeemed what was otherwise mostly a hum-drum evening.

THE RESULTS!!!!

The answers to the bonus questions were: Kirk Douglas and The Irishman.

CalWilliam is the ONLY person who foresaw Ford v. Ferrari's Sound Editing victory, earning him triple points. Reza and Precious Doll kept the faith and stuck to Bong Joon-ho in Director, earning them double points. But will their prediction victories win it for them? Let's see. Here are the results (please let me know if I made any mistakes in calculating or if I missed something, apologies in advance):

Greg = 39 points
Franz Ferdinand = 41 points
criddic3 = 47 points
dws1982 & rolotomasi99 = 48 points
FilmFan720, Big Magilla & flipp525 = 51 points
mlrg & Heksagon = 54 points
anonymous1980 = 55 points
Sonic Youth, CalWilliam & Mister Tee = 57 points
Precious Doll = 59 points
Aceisgreat = 60 points
Sabin = 61 points
Reza, nightwingnova & Oscar Guy = 63

and the winner for 2020 Oscar Predictions contest with 69 very nice points:

Jefforey Smith!

Good idea. How about NEXT TO LAST person in IN MEMORIAM? Unless Douglas was edited in to come up first or added in the middle somewhere, this would be the person who was last before they added him. In any event, due to this year's unique circumstance, it's not a good tie-breaker. If everyone guesses the same person either we're all right or we're all wrong!
I think leave it as is. Douglas may not ending up being the last anyway and second to last could be any one of 20 people so what's the point. Besides if memory serves me right we rarely go to tie-breakers for the winner in this competition and the second tie-breaker would likely cover that anyway.
