Here it is again, the 7th Annual official KJ version of the Oscar Game. And for the third year in a row, I will monitor it.

For those are you who are new, or if you need a refresher, Here are the rules....

Here is how the scoring works.... You must RANK all the nominees for every category.

If your top ranked film in a specified category wins, you get 5 points. If the film that wins was your second choice prediction, you'll get 4 points and so on. Here is an example.

BEST SUPPORTING ACTOR

1. Christoph Waltz (Inglourious Basterds)
2. Christopher Plummer (The Last Station)
3. Matt Damon (Invictus)
4. Stanley Tucci (The Lovely Bones)
5. Woody Harrelson (The Messenger)

If Christoph Waltz wins, I receive 5 points. If Plummer wins, I'll get 4 points. If Harrelson wins, I'll get 1 point.

For those categories that have 3 nominees. The first choice gets 3 points if correctly predicted. The second 2 points, and the third, 1 point. Every category (yes, all 24) is up for prediction. So, the more categories you predict correctly, the more points you are gonna get.

Here are the categories

Congrats to Kenspy and thanks to Scottie for doing this. It was fun. The Oscar-minutiae-obsessed tiebreakers are great.

Please do it again next year.

Wow surprised i still got second even though i got 8 categories wrong (Picture, Actress, Original Screenplay, Adapted Screenplay, Foreign Language Film, Animated Short, Sound Editing, Sound Mixing). I thought i'd get last place or something.

Oh wow, very cool! Didn't even think to check because I did so badly on the shorts & sound categories (which killed my other pools).
