OSCAR NIGHT GAME
OBJECT: Get the most points!
HOW TO PLAY: Fill out a score sheet for each category with your choice (who you want to win) and your prediction (who you think WILL win).
On the night of the Oscars, give yourself a point for each correct guess in MY PREDICTIONS. If you get a prediction wrong, subtract 1 point. Give yourself 3 points each correct guess in MY CHOICE. There is no penalty for incorrect guesses for MY CHOICE.
For example:
|
Category |
MY CHOICE |
MY PREDICTION |
|
BEST DIRECTOR |
Alfonso Cuaron – Gravity |
David O Russel – American Hustle |
|
BEST ACTOR |
Christian Bale – American Hustle |
Matthew McConnogahay – Dallas Buyers
Club |
|
BEST ACTRESS |
Amy Adams – American Hustle |
Amy Adams – American Hustle |
If David O Russel
wins Best Director, gain 1 point for a correct guess in MY
PREDICTIONS, but no points for an incorrect MY CHOICE (total points
= 1)
If Christian Bale
wins Best Actor, gain 3 points, for a correct MY CHOICE, but subtract
1 point for an incorrect MY PREDICTION (total points = 2)
If Amy Adams wins
Best Actress, gain 3 points for correct MY CHOICE and 1 correct MY
PREDICTION. (total points =4)
You may NOT make
a guess for a MY CHOICE in a category if you have not seen any of the
films in the category. You may, however, make a blind guess for the
MY PREDICTION section even if you have not seen any of the nominees.
Some have asked about the purpose of the point system. The game is designed to be enjoyed by anyone who likes movies. Some of us follow the inner politics of the movie industry, but many of us do not. I did not want to give too much of an advantage to those who study the inside of the industry. Also, by giving more points to the movie you WANT to win, it makes the joy at their victory greater and gives you more incentive to root for them.
PARTICIPATION:
Get a group of friends who love movies and the oscars and pass out the below ballot.
Figure out a nominal prize to give out to the one with the most points.
Choose one person to be the ballot keeper.
Add up the points on Oscar night and crown a winner.
I hope you all enjoy!
