Oscar pool?

Are we doing the Oscar pool the same way as last year (I think it was on another site that automatically totaled the points) or on here the way we did the Golden Globes?

I know they're a month away...

Re: Oscar pool?

  • If the online site is available this year, let's do that.

    Cause I'm sure as hell not going to keep track of scores.  lol

    Doing it on here was ok for the Globes, but I don't like it for the Oscars.  You could look at somebody's guesses and tweak a few up-in-the-air categories to enhance your chance of winning.

    What do you think of this one?

    I created a group called "The Nest Entertainment Board" in the Oscar Pools section.  The password is "oscarama" -- can you guys get in, or do I have to invite you with emails?

    Looks like we might need a username/password to see the groups.  But I might be doing it wrong.

  • It says username and password.  I triedTheNestEntertainmentBoard as the username and oscarama as the password, but nothing happened.

  • These Oscars are going to be so hard to choose.  There are some categories where I know I am going to be kicking myself.  ex: Actress, Director, and Adapted Screenplay 

    The Directors Guild of America awards are tonight; I think I will just pick their winner for the Oscar.

    lol - before Dr. Girlfriend set up her pool, I had made one on the site we used last year.  Here was my description of the pool:


    Pollypocket came out of nowhere to win the first Official Nest Pool in 2011 and JulieFe's been seething ever since. With her impressive showing in the Golden Globes pool, JulieFe is definitely the lady to beat.

    Dr. Girlfriend has a lot on the line with her annual Oscar party - a defeat in front of her guests would be extremely embarrassing.

    Insomniac has seen eight of the nine nominations for Best Picture and has a discerning eye for excellence.

    Misoangry just wants to beat Insomniac.

    WHO WILL BE THE ULTIMATE VICTOR? Will an unknown snatch the prize away from JulieFe's outstretched hands? We shall see on February 26...


  • Oh, let's do yours!  Because I'm worried the one I chose is going to require me to enter the winners during the broadcast, and I'll be busy enough trying to manage the nine damn best picture entrees at our Oscar party.  :-P

  • Here's the link to the one I set up...

    Password is Nestie and should be already filled in.

    I know that this site definitely updates points as the show goes on, but you definitely have to create an account to enter picks (unless you still remember your info from last year). You can make up an email address, but make sure you remember it and your password if you want to modify your picks.

  • Oh, I really liked the format of last years' so I'm happy to see we can do it again! I am not holding my breath to win again since I just got plain lucky last year! May the best Nestie win! :)
