Well, sorry if I posted it late. To be honest I wasn't sure I would host it this year because I personally haven't cleared (watched all movies) that many categories but here it is.

For regulars and new players, here are the rules:

1. It's open to everyone. You don't have to watch the ceremony to play, as long as you have seen the movies and are interested in this game.

2. Instead of making a new post, you can edit your original post up until February 9th, 8pm EAST. At that point I won't be back from work to validate (quote) but we can see the date and time you edit your post so don't try to cheat!

3. You can make 2 nominations. First is who you think will win and second, who you would like to see win. It can be the same for both and the who you would like to see win can also be from a movie not nominated. The second nomination is mostly to see what others like and potentially discover some overlooked movies/performances.

4. Points will be awarded for correct answers on who you think will win (usually players only make nominations for categories in which they saw all the movies). Then probably the next day, I'll publish the winner(s). Just like the last years we'll have 2 categories, most total points scored (out of 24 max) and the highest percentage. Percentage will calculated on the number of categories you got right out of the total in which you made a selection, so if you got 14 out of 16 (even if the grand total is 24) your percentage of correct predictions is 87,5%.

5. Following last year's suggestion, this year you will be able to make double nominations in up to 4 categories. Since listing two options remove some challenge, each correct answer in a category with double-nominations will award ½ point. The categories are up to you but no more than 4. This rule has been added in case you really feel it's a toss-up between two options.

To make it easier, you can quote this post and erase all the text (from "good luck!" and above) to only keep the template provided and fill it from there.

Past winners:

90th Oscars ballot: reggaetapes with 19 & MrFurious for highest correct percentage with 81%.

91st Oscars ballot: bd74 for both most correct answers with 17 & for highest correct percentage with 81%

Good luck!

Well, sorry if I posted it late. To be honest I wasn't sure I would host it this year because I personally haven't cleared (watched all movies) that many categories but here it is.

For regulars and new players, here are the rules:

1. It's open to everyone. You don't have to watch the ceremony to play, as long as you have seen the movies and are interested in this game.

2. Instead of making a new post, you can edit your original post up until February 9th, 8pm EAST. At that point I won't be back from work to validate (quote) but we can see the date and time you edit your post so don't try to cheat!

3. You can make 2 nominations. First is who you think will win and second, who you would like to see win. It can be the same for both and the who you would like to see win can also be from a movie not nominated. The second nomination is mostly to see what others like and potentially discover some overlooked movies/performances.

4. Points will be awarded for correct answers on who you think will win (usually players only make nominations for categories in which they saw all the movies). Then probably the next day, I'll publish the winner(s). Just like the last years we'll have 2 categories, most total points scored (out of 24 max) and the highest percentage. Percentage will calculated on the number of categories you got right out of the total in which you made a selection, so if you got 14 out of 16 (even if the grand total is 24) your percentage of correct predictions is 87,5%.

5. Following last year's suggestion, this year you will be able to make double nominations in up to 4 categories. Since listing two options remove some challenge, each correct answer in a category with double-nominations will award ½ point. The categories are up to you but no more than 4. This rule has been added in case you really feel it's a toss-up between two options.

To make it easier, you can quote this post and erase all the text (from "good luck!" and above) to only keep the template provided and fill it from there.

Past winners:

90th Oscars ballot: reggaetapes with 19 & MrFurious for highest correct percentage with 81%.

91st Oscars ballot: bd74 for both most correct answers with 17 & for highest correct percentage with 81%

Good luck!

Results (I calculated the scores twice but I may still have missed something, so don't be afraid to tell me if my numbers are off):

moviebuffbrad 18/24 ( 16 right + (4x ½ (from double selections)) - 75%

politicidal 6/19 (some choices inverted between who will win and who would like to see win) - 32%

hi224 6/19 (some choices inverted between who will win and who would like to see win) - 32%

kevin 19/24 ( 17 right + (4x ½ (from double selections)) - 79%

MrFurious 15/24 (some choices inverted between who will win and who would like to see win) - 63%

Vits 17/24 (some choices inverted between who will win and who would like to see win) - 71%

Archelaus 13/22 (some choices inverted between who will win and who would like to see win) - 59%

mecano04 4/17 (as usual, ending with ~~one of the worst if not~~ the worst score) - 24%

First thing first, congrats to kevin who won both the highest number of correct choices with 19/24 and the highest percentage with 79%, beating moviebuffbrad by 1 point (which would have created a tie). Still some good performances despite me, dragging the average down.

Now here are some key points:

. Everybody (who filled that category) had Parasite winning Best International feature film but none had it has a slam-dunk (some guys got it right with their double-pick) winner for Best Picture.

. Speaking of Parasite everybody thought Mendes would win for Directing despite many hoping Bong Joon Ho would get the award. This was another big suprise.

. Getting back to slam-dunk winners, this year had a few that most if not all of us got right.

. Sound editing and sound mixing seem to be two confusing categories. 4 out of 8 inverted the winners for those categories while others went for 1917 in both. I guess we should try to read or have someone who knows that subject clarify things for us! Even if future picks might be wrong at least we could all benefit from it.

. Only two guys, moviebuffbrad & kevin used their double-picks but they went 4/4 with those, gaining 2 points each. So right now, I'm not sure if I didn't highlight this "feature" enough so only two guys used it or if it's not that popular despite the effectiveness. It's not that I think about removing it for future years but I'd like to hear what you guys think about it.

. One reason people may have skipped reading the rules this year is because I posted the game really late. Again, I wasn't sure if it was worth doing since I didn't clear enough categories and there were other threads about possible winners this year but seeing how we got to 8 players (including me) in about 2 days I'll post it earlier next year, to give more time for people to join and makes their decisions.

In any case, thanks for playing guys!

I went from one of the worst ballots last year to #2 this year, so that's nice. But I'm not surprised Kevin best me, he kicked my ass on the nominee predictions too.

In retrospect I feel foolish not using one of my twofers on Animated Film. Spiderverse winning last year made me feel like we were moving away from giving it to Disney every year.

Sound Editing is the creation of sounds, while Sound Mixing is how the sound is integrated into the film. The Academy has given them to the same film the last few years so I thought they didn't know the difference either, ha. Interesting that I had a split in my preferences, but the Academy went the opposite anyway.

Results (I calculated the scores twice but I may still have missed something, so don't be afraid to tell me if my numbers are off):

moviebuffbrad 18/24 ( 16 right + (4x ½ (from double selections)) - 75%

politicidal 6/19 (some choices inverted between who will win and who would like to see win) - 32%

hi224 6/19 (some choices inverted between who will win and who would like to see win) - 32%

kevin 19/24 ( 17 right + (4x ½ (from double selections)) - 79%

MrFurious 15/24 (some choices inverted between who will win and who would like to see win) - 63%

Vits 17/24 (some choices inverted between who will win and who would like to see win) - 71%

Archelaus 13/22 (some choices inverted between who will win and who would like to see win) - 59%

mecano04 4/17 (as usual, ending with ~~one of the worst if not~~ the worst score) - 24%

First thing first, congrats to kevin who won both the highest number of correct choices with 19/24 and the highest percentage with 79%, beating moviebuffbrad by 1 point (which would have created a tie). Still some good performances despite me, dragging the average down.

Now here are some key points:

. Everybody (who filled that category) had Parasite winning Best International feature film but none had it has a slam-dunk (some guys got it right with their double-pick) winner for Best Picture.

. Speaking of Parasite everybody thought Mendes would win for Directing despite many hoping Bong Joon Ho would get the award. This was another big suprise.

. Getting back to slam-dunk winners, this year had a few that most if not all of us got right.

. Sound editing and sound mixing seem to be two confusing categories. 4 out of 8 inverted the winners for those categories while others went for 1917 in both. I guess we should try to read or have someone who knows that subject clarify things for us! Even if future picks might be wrong at least we could all benefit from it.

. Only two guys, moviebuffbrad & kevin used their double-picks but they went 4/4 with those, gaining 2 points each. So right now, I'm not sure if I didn't highlight this "feature" enough so only two guys used it or if it's not that popular despite the effectiveness. It's not that I think about removing it for future years but I'd like to hear what you guys think about it.

. One reason people may have skipped reading the rules this year is because I posted the game really late. Again, I wasn't sure if it was worth doing since I didn't clear enough categories and there were other threads about possible winners this year but seeing how we got to 8 players (including me) in about 2 days I'll post it earlier next year, to give more time for people to join and makes their decisions.

well this was fun thank you.

I do know the difference. My initial gut told me that 1917 and FORD V FERRARI would win Sound Mixing and Sound Editing respectively, but then I switched them after reading about their wins in previous ceremonies.
