Oscar Predict Contest!

UPDATE:
Only a few hours left to predict the Oscars…VOTE
NOW!!

For anyone who is not yet aware, the
Oscars will be announced this coming Sunday night, February 22nd,
starting at 8pm EST, but until then, you get a chance to win a VIDEO
IPOD courtesy of JoBlo.com (as well as ‘bragging
rights’, of course) if you are the
person who ends up predicting the Oscars the best. Yeah, a f*ckin’
iPod, dude, so you’ll finally be able to watch our JOBLO
MOVIE SHOW in crystal clear resolution. This will be our
9th
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), and then choose your
picks from a list (just like the Golden Schmoes). 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!!

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 February 16th and ends on February 22nd at
6pm (EST). The Oscars will be handed out on February 22nd at 8pm
(EST).
