The Oscar Pool
Here are the results. Tony and John will have to arm-wrestle for the full-screen copy of Minority Report.
John: 15 right out of 24 total categories (Only person to get Tilda Swinton. I guess he knows about morally compromised legal counsel...)
Tony: 15 (This is tainted by gettting Best Picture wrong. Atonement?)
Harold: 12 (I should have gone with Bourne where it was nominated. I'm kicking myself, since that was clearly the year's best movie...)
Kyle: 11 (a solid showing, with correct answers well distributed throughout the show. Your Transformers picks hurt you, though. I don't think that was actually nominated for Best Original Screenplay...)
Beau: 10 (I would congratulate you on an good effort, but you chose "Happy Working Song" from Enchanted as Best Original Song, so I will be shunning you. Permanently.)
Emily: 10 (You hated Michael Clayton, but thought it would win Best Screenplay. This says something very troubling...)
Andrea: 5 (Well done, in light of the fact that your haven't actually seen a movie since The Great Muppet Caper.)
Charm: 4 (next time, Charm, ignore your heart, use a dartboard.)
The landslide consensus correct picks were Daniel Day-Lewis. Ratatouille, and Sweeney Todd for Art Direction (I missed that one. Oops.)
The landslide consensus incorrect picks were No Country for Old Men winning Cinematography and Julie Christie for Best Actress. You all listened to the hype on that last one, since I know hardly anyone saw that film.


Ha! Shun if you will... but my picks were completely random. :)

I'm a king, hahahahaha, I'm a king. OK, please explain the "I dedicate this to my partner, without whom this would be hardware." Is that dildo joke?

I refuse to believe anybody got Tilda Swinton right. This calls into question the integrity of Price Waterhouse -- or whoever the voting auditor is.
