[Amir0x]

This is the first year I just went in blind instead of my usual research before selecting choices, so I'll probably be all over the map. I want to come back to the GAF Oscar Pool streak I had for a few years though

 

[polyh3dron]

I didn't notice the pool until it was too late

my picks from earler are here: http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showpost.php?p=102834665&postcount=49

 

[UberTag]

Alright GAF... how'd the rest of you do?
I pulled off a clean sweep on all of the feature films but flubbed both the animated and live-action short categories to finish off with 22 out of 24 in my picks (98% score based on the OP scoring format).

Anyone else manage to top that or am I taking home the prize?

 

[Linkyn]

I forgot a few of my smaller picks, depending on those outcomes, I'm at 13-15 / 24.

 

[Charles Foster Kane]

I got 18 right.

 

[Amir0x]

i only entered my choices on the form so I don't know how many i got right i forgot all my choices lol

 

[Charles Foster Kane]

i only entered my choices on the form so I don't know how many i got right i forgot all my choices lol

You got 10 right.

 

[Amir0x]

haha, yeah. i knew this year would be bad i jumped in at the last second and just selected randomly.

next year i'll return to my old method that made me win the oscar pool like three years in a row when I first started posting on GAF >

 

[Wilbur]

I can't remember how many. I'm guessing around 15

 

[Cerberus]

Got 21 out of 24. I'm happy to be wrong on Original Screenplay though. Yay Spike Jonze!

 

[RatskyWatsky]

Were the responses tallied anywhere? Who won? How many did I get right?

 

[smokeandmirrors]

I wish I had marked down what I picked for this one cause I totally forgot. Heh.

 

[Ridley327]

I'm pretty sure I wound up with 18/24. Not my finest hour, but that's a decent batting average.

 

[OfWhiteSkinOnRedLeather]

lol I got like 7.

 

[daydream]

Probably did terrible, but I also guessed risked a lot.

 

[Raxus]

I forget how well I did but man did I whiff on some of them. I think my biggest miss was lead actor. Grats to Alright alright alright though.

 

[Phire Phox]

How many did I get right?

 

[Amir0x]

How many did I get right?

i dunno i couldn't even see my own, Charles had to tell me heh

 

[Charles Foster Kane]

Ok, I got all the votes. I can give you the link to check them out if you want.

I was planing on ranking them to see who won.

 

[Phire Phox]

i dunno i couldn't even see my own, Charles had to tell me heh

Sorry I meant to quote CFK. XD

 

[Charles Foster Kane]

Sorry I meant to quote CFK. XD

you got 17 right.

 

[UberTag]

A ranked results list with the % weighting from the OP would be swell.

 

[CouldBeWorse]

Should've filled it out. Got 20 right on my home ballot. Easy year.

 

[Charles Foster Kane]

A ranked results list with the % weighting from the OP would be swell.

I'll have it by tomorrow.

 

[jett]

I think I got 19~20 wins. A disappointingly predictable year. It's more fun when you don't really know what's coming.

 

[TheKaeptain]

What was my score? I vote against movies I actually wanted to win.

 

[Faith]

 

[lamaroo]

I forget what I voted for.

 

[Tugatrix]

I don't know my score, forgot what I vote in some categories

 

[Kadayi]

Who won? I honestly can't remember some of the later choices.

 

[Charles Foster Kane]

Sorry for being late. I was busy and apparently I'm not the Flash

Dammit UberTag (ViewtifulJC too).

What was my score? I vote against movies I actually wanted to win.

71 points, 15 good guesses.

 

[UberTag]

Yay! I get to brag now.
Actually, bragging because I know the way a bunch of old senile farts in the Academy think isn't something to be proud of.

So instead I will humbly congratulate these guys who were close...

2. ViewtifulJC 96/21
3. Cowlibob 94/21
4. BrickArts295 93/21
5. CerealCycle 92/20
**. Fey 92/19

Yeah, you guys. Good job.

I will do my best to defend my title next year as I'm sure Amir0x won't be half-assing it again.

 

[Charles Foster Kane]

That was scary close to a perfect score.

 

[TheKaeptain]

I pretty much followed Bobby's list minus like two.

 

[Charles Foster Kane]

Bobby got 62 points from 14 guesses. So much for being right.

 

[smokeandmirrors]

i refuse to recognize the results as the movies i picked all should have been the winners making me 24/24 and perfect

 

[Charles Foster Kane]

Collectively, we were off on Costume Design, Documentary Feature, Foreign Language Film, Short Film - Animated, Short Film - Live Action.

 

[TheKaeptain]

I'm pretty sure I called Gatsby winning costume design. That was a shoe in because everyone looked FAB.

 

[Bobby Roberts]

Bobby got 62 points from 14 guesses. So much for being right.

Heh.

I was right-ish. That's pretty good.

Ish.

But yeah, I ate shit early and was done by like, 6pm.

I shoulda got the Lupita thing. Didn't think it through: Basically - I transferred the extra love for the movie to director instead of Supporting Actress. McConnaissance suppresses Chiwetel's love, but the acting HAS to be rewarded - and JLaw just won, so she can take the hit so as to reward Lupita

I also figured everyone would just forget about Gatsby because it was so long ago, comparatively.

But I think the larger point still stood (including the advice I myself didn't really follow) - follow the Awards Watch sites, and keep in mind that voters don't vote for what's good - they vote for what will make them feel better about themselves for having contributed to the "story" of that years Oscars.

I got a couple people to win their Oscar pools with that list, though. Sorry Kaeptain. And if needed, I get to fall back on the greatest cop-out ever invented, by one of the best screenwriters to ever live:

"Nobody knows anything" - William Goldman.

Congrats to UberTag & the rest of the top 5.

 

[A6M3]

honestly this pisses me off hes such a badass actor he should have had at least 5 buy now! at minimum

 

[Faith]

Indeed. I don't take these oscars serious anymore. I think the academy just don't like him.
