Sunday Best: Oscar Game 2019

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).  


CATEGORIES

1.  MAJOR AWARDS

-Best Supporting Actress
-Best Original Screenplay
-Best Adapted Screenplay
-Best Original Score

On the night of the Oscars, give yourself 1 point for each correct guess in MY PREDICTIONS.  If you get a prediction wrong, subtract 1 point.  Give yourself 1 point for each correct guess in MY CHOICE.  There is no penalty for incorrect guesses for MY CHOICE.

For example:

Category
BEST DIRECTOR
-MY CHOICE = Spike Lee, “BlacKkKlansman”
-MY PREDICTION = Alfonso Cuarón, “Roma”

BEST ACTOR
-MY CHOICE =Rami Malek, “Bohemian Rhapsody”
-MY PREDICTION = Christian Bale, “Vice”

BEST ACTRESS
-MY CHOICE = Glenn Close, “The Wife”
-MY PREDICTION = Glenn Close, “The Wife”


If Alfonso Cuaron 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 Rami Malek wins Best Actor, gain 1 point, for a correct MY CHOICE, but subtract 1 point for an incorrect MY PREDICTION (total points = 0)

If Glenn Close wins Best Actress, gain 1 points for correct MY CHOICE and 1 correct MY PREDICTION.  (total points =2)

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.


2.  TECHNICAL AWARDS

3.  MINOR AWARDS
-Best Documentary Feature
-Best Documentary Short
-Best Animated Short
-Best Live Action Short
-Best Foreign Language Film

For these, give yourself 1/5th of a point (.2) for each correct guess in MY PREDICTIONS.   Since so few people have seen these, there is no MY CHOICE section.  There is no penalty for incorrect guesses for MY PREDICTIONS.
