Board 8 > * ~ - Board 8 Academy Awards Pick 'Em - ~ * [oscars]

(+) Yeah! (+)

We are back after taking a hiatus last year.

Three points are awarded for a correct pick in the eleven major categories: Best Picture, Best Actor, Best Actress, Best Supporting Actor, Best Supporting Actress, Best Director, Best Original Screenplay, Best Adapted Screenplay, Best Documentary, Best Animated Film and Best Foreign Film.

Two points are awarded for a correct pick in the nine technical categories: Best Production Design, Best Cinematography, Best Costume Design, Best Film Editing, Best Makeup, Best Original Score, Best Original Song, Best Sound, and Best Visual Effects.

One point is awarded for a correct pick in the three short categories: Best Animated Short Film, Best Live Action Short, and Best Documentary Short Subject.

The first tiebreaker is broken by whomever has the most correct picks. If still tied, the user that's the closest to guessing the length of the show wins.

Tiebreaker:
How long will the show last?

Also what the heck, they actually combined Sound Mixing and Editing into one award!

up

They combined the sound categories last year, presumably because most of the voters couldn't tell the difference.

Tag for closer to the time, no point filling this out before the precursors. Cool idea!

Tag for later

Oh wow, I was planning to submit something later this week thinking the ceremony would be early March, but I still have more than a month

Up

Manual tag, I'll get mine in with 3 minutes to spare like always!

as always

Up

down

BAFTAs done. Some categories seem more locked in now, others... less so.

I don't dislike CODA but that movie is entirely held together by its actors, how the heck did it win screenplay lol.

Up

next week!

This weekend!

What the hell is dj Khaled doing here

"Now your hosts for tonight"

DJ KHAAALED

Id still smash.

Why is Amy Schumer here. Do we really need three hosts?

Jessie Buckley's short orange mop top is adorable and I love her so much

What is going on right now?

Idk that Regina hall skit went on way too long

Damn they did him dirty.

I'm writing my own Star Fox fanfiction, right now instead of wasting my life watching this.

Troy Kotsur's speech was devastating

Thats the second time they played music too early.

they made sure to throw up a 10 second message for #standwithukraine

immediately followed by a Ukraine crypto ad

jesus fuckin christ

Man we don't talk about Bruno was their one guaranteed easy win and they fucked it up

if only they could enter the speed force to go back and fix that

I have not been paying any attention to the results. Has anyone self-counted their predictions and felt like they are doing great?

Every one I went with that was expected won and anything I went with that wasn't an obvious favorite I was wrong

what the fuck just happened

What just happened?

Apparently Will Smith got into a fight live against Chris Rock

I have to imagine that will smith dropped some bad language?

I'm sure it'll be the most talked about thing about tonight's event

They tried to edit it out but were too slow. He made a GI Jane joke about Jada's hair being shaved. He walked up. Punched Chris Rock. Then they showed him muted saying keep my fucking wife's name out of your mother fucking mouth. Not sure if staged.

Weak ass punch.
