2010 Bored Oscar Pool

#1 Post by NellyLunatic1980 » Sun Feb 28, 2010 2:06 pm

The Oscars are next Sunday, so that can mean only one thing: the annual Bored Oscar Pool.

I have a pool set up at FunOfficePools.com. Registration is free.

Once you've registered at that site, then you can access the WWTBAM Bored Oscar Pool Thing.

Good luck to everybody!

I like Jimmy Kimmel's method--put the nominees on Zhu Zhu Pets and race them! If I enter, I'll just check his results.

Have you had any experience with squirrels you'd like to share? Like how to chase them out of my damn house (If you have an idea for getting rid of little brothers as well, I'm all pointy ears.....)

Bumping this up, since it looks like Nelly and I are the only entrants so far, and that cannot be abided.
There is something wrong in a government where they who do the most have the least. There is something wrong when honesty wears a rag, and rascality a robe; when the loving, the tender, eat a crust while the infamous sit at banquets.

Hence my bumping! That, and my jealousy, since Sybil can't type.

I will participate after watching Inglorious Basterds this week. I know the quality of the films has little to do with the results...

My picks are in. I used a combination of the movies I saw, EW, Time, and the local movie critics. It's nice to be on the West Coast for the show to finish at a reasonable time.

You still have a little more than 24 hours left if you still want to participate in our Oscar Pool.

That was not so easy to register and make picks, but perhaps it is because I'm tired. Thanks for setting it up.

Done.

Hard to enter the pool when you haven't seen one of the movies. Good luck to all of you.
I doubt if I even watch, though I am pulling for Sandra Bullock, just because. :D
