Congrats to TUS: Had a tough luck tiebreaker loss last year, but took it home this year. Contact me when you know what movie you want, or if you want a mug, or whatnot. Good job! :up:

Re: The 2017 Oscar Picks Pool is Open

Well, I'll try to check all the data tomorrow, but I think it's probably right as-is. Looks like The UsualSuspect won, after losing last year on a tiebreak. Congrats, Matt!

Yeah. It was cinemajack (I think that was another year. [url="http://www.movieforums.com/oscars/viewall.html?year=2016), and he asked for a copy of Steve Jobs.

Yeah, really looking forward to the chat. Could be a record turnout this year. Hope you'll pop in: it really does make the ceremony a lot more entertaining.

Re: The 2017 Oscar Picks Pool is Open

Okay, big annoying banner on the header of each page imploring you to make your picks. Please do it! It's fun and easy, I promise. And that big banner magically vanishes when you do!

Re: The 2017 Oscar Picks Pool is Open

NEVER. In fact, next week we're going to have a giant reminder on the header of every page. Just give in now and you won't even have to look at it. It's just the easiest way.

The Picks Pool is more about guessing right than picking favorites, so that's not a big problem. Just a fun little way to add some competition to the live chat.
