UPDATE:
The winner of our 10th Annual JoBlo.com Oscar Prediction
contest is…Brian Fernades! Brian managed to score a
sweet-ass 90/100, with 3 others finishing right behind
him with 89/100. The winner of our JoBlo.com Staff Oscar
Prediction contest was Mathew Plale with 85/100,
followed by JimmyO and Mike Catalano from AITH. I got
59/100 myself. Meh. If you want to see how YOU DID

of entrants with their names/scores in order from
kick-ass to suckiness (or HERE
for a simple Text file). See ya’ll next year!!

For anyone who is not yet aware, the
Oscars will be announced this coming Sunday night, March 7th,
starting at 8pm EST, but until then, you get a chance to win a BLU-RAY
PLAYER courtesy of JoBlo.com (as well as ‘bragging
rights’, of course) if you are the
person who ends up predicting the Oscars the best. If you’d rather
have an iPod, that’s cool as well, as long as the price isn’t more
than $250 beans. This will be our
10th
ANNUAL OSCAR PREDICTION CONTEST on JoBlo.com, which is now
running directly off our own Golden
Schmoes website automated and everything!

All you need to do is enter your name or
username, as well as a valid email address (if you put a phony one,
we won’t be able to email you if you win – we don’t do anything else
with ’em), and then choose your
picks from a list. The highest score
that you can attain is 100, you can see the list of nominees and
their point values below, along with the basic contest guidelines.
Once you SUBMIT your picks, you will be able to PRINT them for
yourself afterwards. Good luck!! PS: If you haven’t done so, make
sure to vote for the Golden Schmoes
afterwards, we hand those winners out this Friday!

RULES
OF THE CONTEST:

1)
Your guesses should be for those movies/people who you think WILL
win the Oscar, not who you think should win! A very clear
difference.

2)
Points will be allotted to each category as specified below. Whoever
ends up with the most points….well, wins!

3)
In case of a tie, the winner will be determined according to the one
who picked correctly the top-most categories (i.e. if one person got
BEST PICTURE correct and the other didn’t, all the way down the
categories). The winner will ultimately be chosen at the discretion
of the accountants at JoBlo Media Inc. (that’s “code” for
ME!!)

4)
If you haven’t included a valid email address with your picks, we
won’t be able to email you if you win, hence, you automatically
forfeit the prize to the next person on the list.

5)
The contest begins on March 1st and ends on March 7th at
6pm (EST). The Oscars will be handed out on February 22nd at 6pm
(EST).
