Oscar Prediction Game

[Krakalakachkn]

Hey guys

 

I thought we would do something for the Oscars, and so I thought we could all predict who we think will win.  I set up a group at this website: http://wenatcheeworld.upickem.net/upickem/registration/login.asp?contestid=4854..  You have to create an account and join the group I created.

 

Group Name: Seanchan

Password: dmount

 

Winner gets bragging rights until the next Oscar season.  Also, I'm hoping to organize a group chat so everyone who participates can talk and comment in real time while watching the Oscars.

 

edit: We can't make predictions for this year yet, but hopefully it will happen soon.  I'll make an announcement when it happens.

Dumb question..

How do you pick answers?

[Krakalakachkn]

They have a box for every nomination category, and all the nominees, and you click on the one you think will win.  It keeps track, and shows your rank and percentage correct.

Yea I see those boxes, but theres nothign to click on to vote for them. <_<

[Krakalakachkn]

That's because the current boxes are from last years Oscars.  They haven't updated it yet.  Eventually, probably closer to Oscar night, they will change the boxes to reflect this years Oscar contenders and we can vote.

now see, that would explain why we can't vote :P

ok, so i figured out this website is only for the 2009 academy awards, so obviously this won't work.  

 

I still want to do this, so i will continue searching for an online pool and post it when I find one.

Prob wait until the noms come out.

[Krakalakachkn]

sounds about right.  Those go up February 2.

Ok.  Noms are out and I found a website to host the oscar pool.  Best news is that it's pre-made so I don't have to do any work!
