It's back by unpopular demand. But this time there is a twist, we actually have a sponsor and prize money!! So no points this time folks, it is real greenbacks! Woowoo!! Same rules as last year... One pick per category, $10,000* per correct answer and -$10,000* for every wrong selection. The winner gets to be crowned Oscar champion for 2009 and of course gets to keep all the money that they have won. Note: The following categories are fixed and new ones cannot be added, and all categories must have an answer next to them - any left blank will be treated like a wrong answer. Edits are allowed but only up until it begins of course! Please restrict any chatter to your competition entry not have posts with just chat, will make it easier to score, there is already a thread started about the Oscars. For the nominations see... http://www.imdb.com/features/rto/2009/oscarsBEST PICTURE: BEST DIRECTOR: LEADING ACTOR: LEADING ACTRESS: SUPPORTING ACTOR: SUPPORTING ACTRESS: BEST CINEMATOGRAPHY: BEST ANIMATED FEATURE: BEST ORIGINAL SCORE: BEST ORIGINAL SONG: BEST ORIGINAL SCREENPLAY: BEST ADAPTED SCREENPLAY: TIE BREAK QUESTION: HOW MANY TIMES WILL DANNY BOYLE MENTION THE WORD 'INDIA' DURING HIS ACCEPTANCE SPEECH? *Prize money is in Zimbabwe Dollars. |

Quoted from Murphy One pick per category, $10,000* per correct answer and -$10,000* for every wrong selection. The winner gets to be crowned Oscar champion for 2009 and of course gets to keep all the money that they have won.
*Prize money is in Zimbabwe Dollars. |
Just so everyone can get their hopes up, here's how much you get for 10,000Z$: http://coinmill.com/ZWD_calculator.html#ZWD=10000.00I'd also like to contribute 10,000Z$ to the competition. Sounds like a worthy cause and I have some Z$ to spare. |
