Re: Oscar Predictions Contest
All the categories I got right for 2014 I crossed off my list. Then, of those left, all the categories I got right for 2013 I crossed off the list, etc. By the 2011 films, I had only got Original Screenplay consistently wrong.Bog wrote:Wait...did you have a straight Hugo ticket?

If anyone would care to take the time to join me, we might get an idea of what categories bedeviled us the most in the last few years.

Re: Oscar Predictions Contest
Congratulations, Jack.
The trick - as other, more brilliant people than me already figured out - was apparently not to pick any runner-up choices. I'd have gotten 57 points instead, and I'm sure everyone else's scores would've improved as well.

No one got Mike Nichols as the last in In Memoriam,
Julianne Moore acknowledged the other nominees.

Re: Oscar Predictions Contest
Standing Ovations - depends how you count.
For winners - five full (Picture, Actor, Actress, Supporting Actress Song), two partial (Supporting Actor, Director), one post-speech (Adapted Screenplay) although they did rise again for Supporting Actress again and Song.
For performance - Lady Gaga
For presenter - Julie Andrews
Total 8 full, 2 partial.
Thanking fellow nominees - I only remember Inarraritu, but I probably forgot a few.
No one got Mike Nichols as the last in In Memoriam, although I seem to have been the only one who didn't think it would be Robin Williams.

Re: Oscar Predictions Contest
Before I calculate, does anyone have the official count for the tie-breaker questions? I'm thinking 6 full standing ovations and 5 people acknowledging their fellow nominees?

Re: Oscar Predictions Contest
It's been fun everyone. A few winners that didn't quite fit what would have been expected. Learning new voting patterns. But, maybe that's good for the Academy.
