Page history last edited by MadPercolator 2 yrs ago

 

Mark your picks with either the initial established on the CC list or some other clever moniker.  The Academy Awards is on February 25th, 2007.

 

Also I should mention this is not a full ballot, I was too lazy to add the technical achievement awards and the shorts... but if someone wants to add them they are more than welcome.

 

*Should there be prizes to up the ante on this?  One possibility could be for each person to donate a dvd to the winner(s)... and maybe what dvd it is can be arranged prior so there is a visible pot before us.  I know in my collection there are dvds which are quality films but which I wouldn't miss, either because they do not suit repeatable viewings or my tastes have changed.  Any alternate ideas or refinements of this one can be added here I guess.  

 

And the Oscar Pool goes to....

 

Dwayne with 13 right!!! Followed by a tie for second, me and Perc 7 each, and Kurt a solid third with 4.  My counting might be wrong, I was a bit inebriated last night but it is all for fun anyway.
