Do the points go into effect for the Oscar films once all five in that group are complete?

yeah. Once you finish the Screenplay category, I'll update it.

Okay just making sure. It's been on the back on my mind that I might not have been completing them correctly. I have roughly six or seven 3+ hour films coming up so I just wanted to make sure.

Can I have points per ten episodes of 30 Rock I watch?

Jmart007 is making a huge play at a massive lead right now. He's a few films away from 350 points earned through the Oscar Bait list.

I would like to create a bonus list for the contestants at some point. I have some good ideas, hehehe.

for sure. PM them whenever you get the chance!

13 Oscar films down, 12 (16 if I want to get to any on the other bonus lists) to go with 10 days to go. I averaged the running times for the remaining Oscar films I have left. It equaled out to about 160 minutes per film. I think the shortest film I have left to watch is 112 minutes followed by 151 minutes. The longest is 227. Lots of long nights ahead. At least we have the long weekend coming up along with next weekend.

By the way, is the deadline Feb. 23 at 11:59pm or at midnight?

midnight on Sunday following the Oscars.

Whaaat? I thought they were valid thru Feb 23r. I had Cries & Whispers, Jules et Jim, and a few more from Cinelitist Part I and thought about watching a few of them them today for some bonus points.

The new lists suck.

The Day of the Triffids worth 25 points? You should get -25 for watching that. But I might finally watch it to the end. All for the bonus points!

be.redy

Didn't see that...

When are these lists good until?

Lists expire March 8th 1159 EST.

New bonus lists may be posted before then as well.

Oh hell damn.

yeah, Jmart was on fire

Could you link this movie (general info etc.)? Can't find it...
