    Well, you get points for the gross and placements. The big points are if you hit 13/15 in the top 15, you get 500,000 bonus points. If you want more in-depth info, look at Chas's main post on the main thread (box office discussion). I got confused too in the beginning =)

    No, no I know all that. What I meant was - what points would I lose? Is there a penalty for including an ineligible film? Will I still be penalized for being more than 40m away from its final gross? Or will my 14th place simply be considered as empty and I wouldn't lose any points but simply lose out on getting points on that one and the additional bonuses that it affects. I don't think there was anything related to this in the Main Post.

    Well, it isn't going to make the top 15, so you lose full points on it. Even if it did, it wouldn't have counted and you still lose all points like if you had The Martian in your top 15. Jobs was platform released a week before the game started I think, that's why it was ineligible. :/

     

    Hmm. One more question then, what 'full points'?

    Darn it, The Revenant and Joy were my favourites. Is Steve Jobs eligible? I know it wasn't counted for domestic 15, so I'm assuming no. 

     

    Room

    Spotlight - Best Picture, Best Supporting Actor, Best Adapted Screenplay

    Bridge of Spies

    Carol

    The Danish Girl

    Brooklyn

    The Big Short

     

     

     

    Wait, Jobs wasn't eligible for the top 15? What happens to those who picked it?

    In the spectre example you only get points for actor and director (but the points are tripled). You don't win/lose anything for extra nominations

     

    In the second example you lose points to the value of the categories you chose, other nominations have no effect.

     

    If you choose to be specific on categories, then you reduce that films influence on you to just those categories and no others

     

    Hmm. Allright, I think I got it now. Thanx for clearing it up. This does make it even more twisted and thus even more interesting. Picking categories has quite some cons associated with it.

    Um, what happens if I predict two categories for a movie and it does get nominated in those and also gets nominated in one another. Eg- 

    Predict

    Spectre - Best actor and director

    Result

    Spectre gets nominated for actor, director and  picture.

     

    So will I now get double the points for Actor and director + given points for picture?

     

    Similarly if I predict a category and it doesn't get nominated for it but does get nominated for other categories, will I simply just lose 15000+triple the category's points. Or will I lose those points but also get points for the given category that it did get nominated for and that I didn't specifically predict?

    Danish Girl : Best Actor, Best Supporting Actress (or actress if vikander gets into the lead category), Best Makeup

    Good Dino: Best Animated Feature

    Bridge of Spies - Best Supporting Actor, Best Picture, Original ScreenPlay, Cinematography

    Creed 

    Spotlight - Best Picture. original Screenplay, Supporting Actor (or just actor if Keaton gets into lead), Director, 

    Carol-Best Actress, Best Picture, Best Director, best supporting actress (unless rooney gets nominated into lead), best adapted screenplay

    Room - Best Actress, Best Picture, Best Adapted Screenplay,

    Brooklyn - Best Actress, Best Adapted Screenplay, Best picture

    Peanuts - Best Animated feature

    The Big Short

    Trumbo

     

    P.S I really hope you'd consider the supporting/non-supporting thing. There is still not a clear line between what the academy would consider what, so some I predicted into supporting category may get nominated in the lead category. I just hope you'd consider that since that could result in really REally big losses here for no particular fault of mine.  Especially since I specifically, particularly mentioned the ones that I think may get here-there, beforehand. If I get wrong in this manner for any other movie or category you may definitely cut points. This also means that you may only consider those if and only if the particular actors I mentioned get nominated (or if they don't in either this or lead category) and otherwise just ignore that particular category even if some other actor from the movie gets nominated for the same category. So i am actually specifically predicting the very actors to get nominated in return for just your consideration of the ambiguity that isn't even my fault. :) 

     

    P.P.S, although if the actor I say may get nominated into either lead or supporting category for a particular film gets nominated into either, I hope that would mean I would still get points for it. And lose points only if they don't get into either.

     

    P.P.P.S -Or, in the end, if you don't agree to this then just ignore what I wrote in the brackets and just consider the category i wrote outside to be my predict (except for the danish girl, for it just ignore the supporting actress predict if you don't agree and take it as Danish Girl - Actor, Makeup)

     

    The Good Dinosaur | Peter Sohn | BR/DVD release 2-23-2016 | Pixar's first BO flop

    in Box Office Discussion

    Posted · Edited by Infernus

    Still at 83% with 30 reviews in.

     

    Maybe not a great movie but the reviews do seem a little harsh due to it being Pixar and the follow up to IO (as we all expected), and anyways they still most say it is a pretty enjoyable film. In the end not every movie can be a masterpiece and if at the end of a movie I feel that that was time well passed and enjoyed, that is enough for me, even though I too harbour higher expectations for Pixar.
