It's Oscar Time!

Yes, it Oscar time again, a dreary five hour show of awards to people we've never heard of, interrupted periodically with some entertainment and celebrities.

But who cares? We've got our Oscar pool, which is also mostly about movies that we've never even heard of, let alone seen. And this year, the Academy has decided to spice things up by nominating 10 films for Best Picture. What a concept! Once again, there are 6 categories:

  • best supporting actress (1 point)
  • best supporting actor (1 point)
  • best actress (3 points)
  • best actor (3 points)
  • best director (4 points)
  • best picture (5 points)

Make your picks here. Entrance fee is $5. Picks are due by Friday, March 5 at 11:30 PM. The Oscars are on Sunday, March 7. In case of a tie, the pot is split.

Also check out Turner Classic Movies's "31 Days of Oscar" site. Very cool!

The 2009 results are in! For the second year in a row, we had a three-way tie. Ugh!
