The 2017 Oscar Picks Pool is Open

Yeah, everyone loves the intro. Just came out really well, even though I'd never really created anything like that before.

Thanks.

Yep, that's me. I remind myself to talk slower every year, and every year I forget.

Second (going on memory) is Holden Pike, third is mark f.

No it's great. Very upbeat. Aussies are fast talkers so I like it.

LOL I'm going to give a running commentary as I listen if I;m not careful. Love the discussion about LLL.

Ok that's enough. I'll stop HJing. Very good speakers, lads.

Did whatshisface claim his prize last year? I remember I was tied for first but joeblowidontknow submitted his picks faster.

Yeah. It was cinemajack, and he asked for a copy of Steve Jobs.

Pfft, what a wasted pick!!!!!

Finalized my Oscar picks. For a few of them all three Short Categories, and one or two others i used some random sites predictions coz i didn't have the slightest clue. My results so far have been: 12 in 2013, 13 in 2014, couldn't find what i got last year but i think it was 15 or 16. Hilariously i was looking at last years transcript to see if i had said how much i got last year but gave up quickly, i did find this on the last page however:

OscarBot: Casey Affleck has won Best Picture. 4% of users got it right.
Yoda has joined the chat.
OscarBot: La La Land has won Best Picture. 73% of users got it right.
OscarBot: Denzel Washington has won Best Actor. 20% of users got it right.
OscarBot: Mahershala Ali has won Best Supporting Actor. 71% of users got it right.

Was that a test or something @Yoda?

Maybe.

BTW, you can check your previous scores on each of the leaderboards, found on the main Oscars page.

Thanks. Last year i got 14 meaning i've improved by one every year, 15 here i come

Did mine. Went for the most "predictable" picks possible except some guesswork for the shorts and throwing in "How Far I'll Go" as a possible Best Song even though it could very well go to one of the La La Land songs. Actually kind of hoping I'm wrong about a bunch of them, though not enough to vote for them. I could use another Ex Machina moment or two.

I have went 8, 17, 9, 16. If I remember my fifth grade pattern building properly, 10 will be my score this year.

Yeah, I can't pick out any pattern here. I guess it could be 11 or 15.

I usually guess on the shorts but I actually looked up the favorites. So, I just edited. We will see if it helps. I hope La La Land does as well as expected or I'm up the creek.

Same here. I have it winning 10, should've probably thrown a few curveballs but i'm just sticking with what i have.

I had to guess on some since there are a few I haven't seen...

What I am absolutely sure of..

Best picture - Moonlight
Best actor - Andrew Garfield
Best visual effects - Deepwater Horizon

I gave that best sound editing. Cant remember who I gave fx to

No I didnt. I gave it same as you and sound to Arrival

I'd bet against all three. Least sure about effects, though.

La La for 8 I say.

I haven't seen the movie. I could be totally wrong. But my hunch is La La Land won't win Best Picture and maybe not much else.

Tomorrow morning, everyone will go - WTF??? Why didn't La La Land win big?!

Moonlight, Hacksaw Ridge or Manchester by the Sea -- one of those movies wins Best Picture, I think.
