Looks like I did fine for the predictions, but not the questions. I missed Picture, Cinematography, Song, and Sound, but got 3 of them as my runner-ups and the third-place on the other, so I only lost 5 points from the predictions, but because The Aviator missed the top prize, it costed me two questions: the number of wins (5 instead of 6) and the overall ratio (5/11 vs. 6/11, while 4/7 vs. 3/7 for Million Dollar Baby). ](*,)

Good job guys. I didn't vote in here, but I compared it to the review I did for the front page and boy do I suck. :lol:
Someone else should do a good review next year...maybe one of the top three from this year's guessing? That way it might be even mildly credible.

Congrats all of you...good predicting!

I got 16/21

I know I got one of them on my fourth choice.
The other 4 I got my second choice.

I got about all the bonuses.
Except for the one that asked which BP nominees would take the least awards. I listed 3 of them and only 2 of those 3 was the answer.

Guys, I understand your impatince, but I am graduating in some weeks and the most important exams of my school-life come up, so I spend less and less time online lately and am more concentrated on school. Besides that, I really lack sleep recently. Today, for instance, I left home for school at 8 am and returned at 8 pm...

I will have the scores up, before Sunday. But I don't promise a certain day. I hope you bear with me :)

Hey Arthur, any luck yet? If not, maybe we could get someone willing to calculate it, just seeing as it's been over a week now

Or if you just give us the correct answers to the bonus questions, we can figure it out for ourselves...

Lecter has had plenty of time to post in other threads, so I don't think it's any lack of time, I think he just lost interest.

Yes seems like you should as it is old, not still going on and doesn't deserve a sticky anymore.

Unsticky it.

Anyway, it will stay on the front page for awhile

Someone should figure out who won this, and just ignore the bonus things, since we don't necessarily have the right answers for them.

Well, I took the liberties to calculate all of them.
Yep, I looked up the winners list, even spent time on the bonuses. I only did not do the tie breakers, which would be impossible to tell now inless someone has a tape and we watch the whole thing!

I did it in about an hour (I don't really know what Lecter was complaining about!) and tabulated them all. Now I have to add the totals and rank them. They should be up within the half hour!!
