Oscar Monkeys
I’ve finally managed to finish this year’s prize monkeys for the Oscar Contest. Pretty cute, huh? That’s 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place from left to right there. Please be patient, winners. I promise I’ll have them in the mail this weekend!

Final call for Oscar Contest entries!
Final call for Oscar Contest entries!
We’ve had over 400 entries this year. Holy crap. I’m going to close the voting when I get up in the morning, which should be about five hours before the show starts. So if you haven’t entered yet, do it NOW! A sock monkey hangs in the balance. (I’m going to do second and third prizes as well since there are so many entries.)
If you’d like to see how the tally is progressing throughout the show, bookmark this page. I’ll be updating the award winners in real time (well, as quickly as I can get them off the web) and the scores will update immediately. As you can see, there’s currently a 400-way tie for first. 🙂
Oh, and if you’re going to be taping the show (or watching it near a computer), I’d love it if you could e-mail me the number of dead people in the obituary tribute montage. I’ve had a couple of volunteers already but it never hurts to double-check!
Good luck, everybody!
Oscar Contest volunteers needed
Oscar Contest Volunteers Needed: We have almost 300 entries! That’s incredible. Would any of you folks with TiVos be able to help me out with something? The time-delay on the show here is going to create some difficulty in scoring the contest. I’ll be able to get the results in real-time off the Web, but it’s the tiebreaker question I’m worried about. I won’t be able to count the dead people in the Obituary Montage until they broadcast the show here several hours later. Could a couple of you TiVo-ers count them and e-mail me the number? Otherwise I won’t be able to declare an immediate winner. Just leave a comment or e-mail me if you can help. Thanks!
Oscar Contest
Oscar Contest: We’re up to 180 entries so far! There was a spike today and I’m wondering if I got linked somewhere interesting. Anybody know?
web-goddess Oscar Contest 2004
It’s that time again! The Oscar nominees have been announced and the web-goddess Oscar Contest 2004 starts today. First prize is, of course, a sock monkey. (If you already have one of my sock monkeys, a doggie will instead be offered.) Current predictions can be seen here. Only one entry per person and you can’t make changes, so only enter once you’re really sure! But then again, entry date is the ultimate tiebreaker so you don’t want to put it off too long. Good luck!
Special thanks to my friend Mardi of soulcreative who designed the awesome logo for me. She’s a designer. You should hire her.
Oscar the Sock Monkey
My Oscar Contest has officially stopped accepting new entries, so I figured I’d better show you all what you’re playing for. Meet Oscar the Sock Monkey! As you can see he’s all dressed up in black tie and silver sparkles. He’s got googly eyes and a big grin, and he’s even got his own little Academy Award!
As the response to the contest was about ten times what I was expecting – 144 entries? Who the heck are all you people? – I’m also providing regular sock monkeys for second and third place. The Awards start at 5:30 PM Pacific time Sunday, which means 12:30 PM Monday afternoon here. As I’ll be at work all day at the draconian, no-Internet unnamed printer company, you’ll have to wait til I get home for the results to be tallied. Basically, plan on the winner being named about five hours after the Awards start. Good luck everyone!
