Okay, apologies all round. The promised sponsorship from the Zimbabwean Government has fallen through somewhat, it seems that Z$10,000 is worth slightly less than the piece of fluff I have just removed from my umbilicus, no doubt due in part to Mrs Mugabe's expensive tastes in Hong Kong real estate (don't shout at me, write to your senator!)
But thankfully Cadburys have managed to step in at the last moment.
So without further ado, the award for Oscar know-it-all 2009 is...
Wait for it... drum roll please...
It is a tie
Directoboy12 and Me! - No not Pia, me - as in me!!
(am I allowed to mention I won last year too?)
I am so happy!
Except that there was a tie-break question, Danny Boyle, the selfish bastard never mentioned India once! Though to be fair did mention Mumbai a grand total of one times.
So really I would say Directoboy12 should be declared the winner as he did suggest only once for the tie-breaker, so hopefully he is pleased too!
Well done to Directoboy12!
It is always good manners to never mention losers in these things because to be honest we are all winners really. It is the taking part that counts and nothing more.
So in the spirit of taking part I just wanted to mention that by my bad maths, and I may be wrong here, but it seems that Shelton may well have come last.
But maybe while we were all sitting on our arses watching films... Shelton was writing them!
Make yer think!
But whatever I still hope Shelton is throwing his toys out of the pram anyway...
Seen as this is a screenwriters site it is probably fair to mention the four nominees who actually got 100% in the screenwriting awards. Mr Cornetto, Mr James, Mr bobtheballa and Mr Sniper. Well done to you.
Some love to all the "winners"...
But as in all award ceremonies there can only be one true winner and this year is no exception, the brilliant Mr Danny Boyle...

Yeah, I definitely took a shit in regards to my picks, but I knew that from the get go when I didn't take Heath Ledger. Honestly, he was the equivalent of the free space in bingo.
I don't go to the theater to watch many films, but I did watch 6, or thereabouts, at home over the weekend, and didn't bother to change my picks (other than swapping Meryl Streep for Melissa Leo) after reading more into frontrunners and following the buzz online.
In regards to the tiebreaker question, Danny Boyle said "Indian" once.
Lol thanks Giles, I forgot I even wrote down my predictions here.
