The 80^th Academy Awards!

 The 6^th Annual Predict The Oscars!

This page is your link to Oscar information.  This year's awards will again be covered by ABC, live from the Kodak Theatre in Los Angeles.  I wonder if the strike by the Screen Writers Guild will be over by then and if not, how it will affect the show.  Would they make an exception for it or would Jon Stewart have to write all his own material.  Since the other guilds are generally honoring the strike, is there any chance it would be postponed?  If anyone has any insight on this, please let me know.  Otherwise I guess seeing what happens to the other awards that include television coverage will give us an idea.

Predict The Oscars Contest Information

Our Oscar contest is weighted so people who don't “live” the movies have a fighting chance to win.  Almost one third of the points are awarded to the top four categories and based on history, most of the films nominated for these will still be at the theatres in January.  You can read the full <?php /* */ ?> for the game by following the link and the values assigned by award are shown below.  

There have been no changed to the point values for 2008 although there is a new tie breaker method.  Along with your predictions you will enter the title of the film you think will win the most awards and the number it will win.  The person who correctly picks the film and is closest to the number of awards (over or under) will be declared the winner.  If multiple people with the highest point score also tie on the tie breaker question the winner will be selected by random drawing.  The purpose of this change is to take he random element out of determining the winner as much as possible.

Here’s the weighting for each award:
