Contest is Up!!!

2008-01-22T20:00:16Z

The Oscar Contest is officially up and running! To remind you of the rules:

Our final prize-game will be to guess the most correct amount of Oscar winners. The person who picks the most amount correct will be the winner. Should there be a tie, the names of those who had the most correct amount of winners will be put into a hat, and I'll have the first unbiased person that crosses my path pick a name. The winner will receive a DVD of their choice (as long as it's available through Amazon.com) that will not exceed $20.00 USD AND a CD of their choice (as long as it's available through Amazon.com) that will not exceed $15.00 USD. This contest ends the night before the Academy Awards are announced. (Saturday, 23 February 2008 at 23:59)

PLEASE NOTE: This ends up being a two-part poll. I can't tell you how many people forget to do the second part and don't win because of it. You have been warned!!! If you haven't hit two different "Submit" buttons, then you haven't logged all your guesses!

Hey Guys,
I totally owe everyone an apology for not getting the first two contests running. I'm here now and I'm going to get the Oscar Contest up and functioning before I go to bed tonight. And the contest will be BETTER THAN EVER to make up for my absence. First, there will be pictures to go along with each nominee (or most of the major ones, at least). Second...since I didn't run the Golden Globes contest, I'm going to offer both a CD and a DVD of the winner's choice (as long as it meets the rules set in the info page of this community)!!!

So good luck and I'll be back with the contest shortly!

Compiling...

2006-03-06T07:34:08Z

I'm compiling the contest results. Due to work, it's taken me a little longer than expected. I'll try to not keep you hanging for very much longer. Look for a winner soon!

Reminder!

2006-03-01T09:11:11Z

Just a reminder that you have until this Saturday, 4 March 2006 at 23:59 to put in your guesses for Oscar winners.

Go here for the contest!

Guess the Oscar Winners Contest is up!

2006-01-31T20:53:47Z

To go over the rules:
Our third, and final prize-game will be to guess the most correct amount of Oscar winners. This game will start Tuesday, 31 Jan. 2006. The person who picks the most amount correct will be the winner. Should there be a tie, the names of those who had the most correct amount of winners will be put into a hat, and I'll have the first, unbiased person that crosses my path pick a name. The winner will receive a DVD of their choice (as long as it's available through Amazon.com) that will not exceed $20.00 USD. This contest ends the night before the Academy Awards are announced. (Saturday, 4 March 2006 at 23:59)

Again, due to the nature of the LJ Poll Creator, the contest is in two parts. Don't forget to fill out both parts! Good luck!

Everyone shocked? Pleasently surprised? Running solely on coffee at the moment?

Congratulations to dbibby, who got the most correct nominations in the Nominations contest!!! Take a bow, kiddo! ;)

Oscar Contest should be up and running here soon!

Second contest is up and running!

2006-01-19T21:07:56Z

Our second game will be to see who can pick the most amount of Oscar nominations correctly. This will be a no-prize game that will serve two functions: Bragging rights if you win...and the nominations that YOU submit will be used to have our own little "Oscar night", where you can vote on who should have won. Because, face it, how many times has the Good Ol' Academy let us down? So even though the object is to guess the most amount of correct nominations, I encourage you to write in movies that you doubt will even be nominated, but you feel should win. This game will end the night before Nominations are announced (Monday, 29 January 2006 at 23:59)

Please note: This is a two-parter, due to the nature of LJ's Poll Creator. Don't forget to do both parts!

Great job to everyone who participated! Believe me when I say it was a very close game.

There was a four-way tie for the most correct picks (8) between _airbear_, stayci28, pyropsycho and alivicwil.

And the winner, randomly drawn from a hat, is stayci28!!!! Congratulations!! If you could please send an email to wolf_sounds@yahoo.com with your address and what CD you would like from Amazon.com at your earliest convenance!

Good game, everyone, and get ready for Round 2, where you predict the nominees for the Oscars (I should be getting that up and running tomorrow, if not tonight)!

REMINDER!!!

2006-01-15T07:50:21Z

Just a reminder that you have until Sunday night at 11:59 PST to pick your Golden Globe winners! I will announce the winner of the CD as soon as I can after the Golden Globes air on Monday night.

Hi everyone! Found this community and love it! This is soooo my cup of tea. I may even go and do the poll from last year for who should have won. ;-). Anyway, I was wondering if we would be able to alter our guesses up until the deadline? I don't know how we would though. Just a thought.
Also, I have a community called talkawards that only has a handful of members who never post, so if anyone wants to join and post their predictions, reviews, thoughts etc. go ahead!
<3 Air.

First Contest of the Season is Up and Running!!!!

2005-12-13T16:59:13Z

I have posted the poll for picking the winners for the Golden Globe Awards. To review the rules:
The person who picks the most amount correct, will be the winner. Should there be a tie, the names of those who had the most correct amount of winners will be put into a hat, and I'll have the first, unbiased person that crosses my path pick a name. The winner will receive a CD of their choice (as long as it's available through Amazon.com) that will not exceed $14.00 USD. This contest ends the night before the Golden Globe Awards are announced. (That means Sunday, 15 January 2006 at 23:59)

Good Luck and Have Fun!!!
