Unofficial Oscar contest thread
I never heard back from any of the mods yet as to my inquiry about the annual Oscar contest but since time is running out here is the unoffical contest thread.

The point is to pick all the winners or at least as many as you can!
The person with the most picks right, WINS! What I don't know at this point, hopefully we can get this to be official and DU will raffle off a t-shirt or something.

Copy and paste the nominees and pick each winner in every category.

Tie breaker is to pick the time when the ceremony ends.

Good Luck!

5. One last kick
Hey, I tried to get this going but I still never heard anything back from the mods...I know they are busy....It just sees since it's not official that there is no interest. :(

I know when DU has run the Oscar contest in the past, there has been a huge turnout.

I tried.

6. Yeah, you did.
I thank you for it. I hate to say it Will, but I think at this point you might as well forget hearing from the mods/admins about this.

We'll be here tomorrow night...hopefully there will be a good turnout.

Thanks, guy, for doing this.

:hug:

Terry

4. My picks
Edited on Fri Feb-23-07 08:24 PM by terrya
"Borat" will win Best Adapted Screenplay. And I hate to break this to some people here, but even though "An Inconveient Truth" will win Best Documentary, Al Gore himself will NOT actually get the Oscar, since he was not the producer. But he will be on the podium. ;-)

“Babel” (Paramount and Paramount Vantage)
An Anonymous Content/Zeta Film/Central Films Production
Alejandro González Iñárritu, Jon Kilik and Steve Golin, Producers

Performance by an actor in a leading role

48. Well, I lost.
Edited on Mon Feb-26-07 10:24 AM by terrya
I was telling my partner last night that when Alan Arkin won (even though I was glad he did) and "The Departed" won Best Picture, it sort of sunk my chances for the DU Oscar pool. :-(

Thank you once again, Will. You're a good guy. :-)

21. If she doesn't win...
it will be an incredible upset. You'll be hearing a scream from me, also.

I've read comparisons, in terms of debuts in a film, of Jennifer Hudson's performance to that of Barbra Streisand in "Funny Girl". Jennifer Hudson owned every scene she was in. Every scene. And she deserves that Oscar.

24. Did you see Jennifer Holliday on E! earlier?
She's the original Effie and sang "And I'm Telling you". Here she is from the '82 Tonys:

I think J-Hud does it better :)

51. Bigwill- I got three out of the five I picked.

I know- I know- I didn't vote on everything.

I didn't even vote for Best Picture.

Half-measures availed us nothing!

-sigh-:(

54. That WAS a surprise
There is always ONE upset and that was the one for last night.

I thought it would have been Peter O'Toole over Forest Whitiker.
