Hmmm, I wonder why the third deadline was that early. I wanted to post predictions before it, but I was sure the deadline was on Sunday since the Globes are on Monday...

Yeah, I think the deadline should be extended to midnight Sunday since the Globes is on Monday.

Does it show on everyone's post when they edit it how many times they've edited it?
Because some posts I don't see it even though I know I've edited it. So, there's no way of knowing if people changed it, is there? If there isn't, then I guess we can do away with the bonuses. But if I'm hallucinating and it does say every time a post is edited, then we'll keep them. And if we do, the deadline is tonight, since the Globes are tomorrow.

Let's try and see.

As long as someone has posted after your post, your post will say "last modified..." if you update it. If yours is the last post, then it won't show.

About five minutes until deadline....Haneke or Kar-wai for last director slot?

Hmm.....ummm.......geez.....well....is Kar-Wai due?

Damn. Uhhhh......

I'll stick with Haneke, I guess.
