The Guiding Principles and New Rules document is now in effect.
This is worse than the time I hosted the 2012 Oscars! (Entries closed! Tune in tonight!)

who you may know as this guy

or maybe even some other guy
that's right! it's the
85TH ACADEMY AWARDS THREAD AND OSCAR POOL!
the award ceremony will start on February 24th at 7PM EST, and I can't wait to watch it with you guys
Oscar Pool Rules
the nominations are out and can be viewed here
when you're ready to submit, fill out this form here
make sure to include your username! I'll track all your submissions in a spreadsheet which I might post the day before the ceremony or something, if you want your picks revealed earlier either ask me and I'll PM them to you or just record them as you go and post them all to see
the deadline for submission is midnight, February 23rd, EST
if you have any questions or confusion about entering, PM me and I'll sort you out!
and now...
THE PRIZES!
the winner of the Oscar Pool this year will be sent a copy of the Best Picture winner on either Bluray or DVD, their choice, and paid for entirely by me! in the semi-likely event that I win I get to keep the money (or, let's be honest, buy the Bluray for myself!) in the event of a tie I...guess I'll be sending out a few Blurays
in addition! @UnbreakableVow will send the winner any DVD or Bluray of any 2012 film of their choice, to reflect the people whose preferred films will be snubbed at the awards! (cough LOOPER BATMAN AVENGERS cough)
if anyone else would like to put their hand up to contribute a prize, then I'll be happy to add you to the list!
good luck, and let's talk about some goddamn movies

I'll let you have my post in exchange for a Blu-ray of Looper.

you drive a hard bargain
so no

please
e: and it's already gone
catholic conspiracy!

Also, Day-Lewis is getting Best Actor for Lincoln. Not even a question.

Nah some person made a post about games that are papist and games that are anti-papist, in three separate threads. They were this person's only three posts.
Amusingly, Assassin's Creed 2 was listed as a papist game.
And I'm guessin you don't need help this year, Yaya, but might I suggest using Google Docs form section to have folks submit their entries?
I think it would be neater, especially since you didn't reserve the second post like you said.
It would also prevent folks from copying Bogey's answers, though I'm sure that wouldn't happen.
he and Meryl Streep need to have triple-Oscar babies.
Are you fucking kidding?
i don't remember that every being brought up
definitely surprised me when i went to see it
this is a good idea! can you PM me about the specifics?
'DeShawn is the man' is by far my favourite part of that entire movie
also FilmCritHulk's analysis of the ending of that movie reeeeaallllyyy made me reconsider parts of it, I'll need to see it again
i could probably keep gushing about the movie
definitely the biggest surprise for me this year

I know right
this may be the first time in many years i do not watch the oscars despite really wanting to
No, but I read a review that explains in detail what the plot is without giving away the ending and that also got me further interested.
EDIT: I don't work in a theater and only saw the trailer on TV.
probably stopped paying attention after seeing the gangster squad preview for the 20th time
jesus christ they are really pushing that movie
