Here it is again, the official KJ version of the Oscar Game. And for the second 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 Actor in a Supporting Role
1. Heath Ledger – The Dark Knight
2. Josh Brolin – Milk
3. Philip Seymour Hoffman – Doubt
4. Robert Downey, Jr. – Tropic Thunder
5. Michael Shannon – Revolutionary Road

If Heath Ledger wins, I receive 5 points. If Brolin wins, I'll get 4 points. If Shannon 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.

Even if the person is not present to accept the awards, it is still an acting category, and if the person cries, it still counts.

I assume Nolan will accept the award again. And he definitely won't cry
