How long will the show be (in hours and minutes). 3 hrs 08 minutes

The game is now closed. I will not take anymore submission. 20 people made a submission. Looks like a good turnaround this year.

First off, here are the answers to the tiebreakers

Of the acting winners, how many of them will cry? One, only Winslet (none of the Ledger members cried, but the audience did).
What color will the best actress winner wear? The primary color is blue.
How many different films will have a win in the acting categories? Four
Which movie will win the most Oscars and how many? Slumdog Millionaire (8)
How many Best Picture nominees will win at least one Oscar? Four
Will the Sound and Sound Editing winner be the same film, or split? Split
Will Best Picture and Best Director be the same film, or will they split? Same
Who will be featured last in the In Memoriam portion? Paul Newman
Will anyone but the producers go up on stage to accept the Best Picture category? Yes, more than I can count.
How long will the show be (in hours and minutes). 3 hrs 30 1/2 minutes

and here is how this is score. In case of a tie in scores, the one who gets more tiebreaker questions right, gets the higher ranking. If the people who tied get the same amount of tiebreakers correct, the one who gets the running time of the show closer, gets the higher ranking, and although this didn't happen, if the running time is exactly the same, the one who get the submission in first gets the higher ranking. Got it.

93 for me I think.

Congrats to Libs on her win this year, and for embarrasing everyone else by being beaten by a girl. Just Kidding. I also like to give a congrats to trixster for getting the most tie breakers correct, and for getting the running time exactly right.

Anyway, thanks for playing for everyone who participated. The Oscars may be over, but baseball season is coming soon.

Unsticky.

Stupid Foreign Film and Sound Editing!!

But I got 8 Tiebreakers correct. That's something...

Congrats, Libs

Ugh, Documentary and Live Action Short both kept me from victory! Nonetheless, congrats, Libs!

Still, overall I scored 19/24, which I think is a record for me.

heh, at least i wasn't dead last.

congratz, Libs

Well-done, Libs!

The shorts killed me.

Libs' Slumdog love got her the win...

Ha! I've never ever ever won an Oscar pool before, how weird.

I actually did good here. Huh.

Congrats Libs!

Sweet fifth!
