Wow, we had some upsets! Those last few awards really made the difference. I thought that Glenn Scribner had it in the bag… right up until Meryl claimed her first Oscar in decades. MERYL?! That left me with a five-way tie between: Glenn, Jennifer Mullowney, Blaz, reed hilton-eddy, and Allen Dickerson. All of them got 13 answers correct. It all came down to the tie breaker. There were 39 dead people in the “In Memoriam” montage, which means that Jennifer is the big winner with her guess of 38! (The next closest was reed with a guess of 35.)

Congratulations, Jennifer! Jennifer’s entered a few times before, so it seems like persistence is the key. Thanks to everyone who played, and see you all next year!

Just to reiterate, you only get one entry per person. If you put in multiple entries, I’ll delete the later ones. I’ve found a couple people who put in entries a few weeks apart, and only the first entry per person will be counted.

Oscar Night is here! Less than four hours to get your predictions in if you haven’t already. So far we’re at 352 entries with clear favourites in every single category. (Yikes. Cross fingers for an upset!) You’ll be able to check your scores here. Unfortunately I’ve got some meetings at work today, so I’m not sure I’ll be able to keep the list updated in real time. I’ll do my best though.

And as usual, if you’re watching the show live, can you do me a favour and count the dead people in the “In Memoriam” segment? Cheers…
