Well I did the major cats, sans original screenplay along with animated feature and visuals so far. Now I need to do some more.

[Impact]

All that is left now for me are the music cats and original screenplay.

[Travod]

This will take too much time for me to do, but perhaps for Best Pic someone gets extra points for guessing the correct amount of nominees.

[Impact]

Don't worry, you have about a month before the noms.

[Impact]

BTW love the idea of bonus points.and to add to that:What film(s) will have the most nominations?How many noms?Also, if you do this, make sure you edit your post each time you edit it. Which you are free to do as many times as you want until the night before the Oscar noms are announced.

[Impact]

Having a HARD time with original screenplay, every film I seem to find is based off of a novel/play.I have got 5 films, I will find a alt later.

[Impact]

So...anyone else going to do these 2 games?

Yay! Thanks for joining Pasta Man! (I think I should copyright that name for you )Do the Globes game as well.And how should we do points? And bonus points?

[acsc1312]

I'll do my list later. What's the deadline? Sometime in Jan I assume?

[Impact]

The night before the Oscars are announced which I mentioned a few posts up .

[CloneWars]

I'm not ready for this just yet. But, yah, we need to figure something out for Best Picture category. Maybe, you lose points for every nom over and under and get bonus points if you just get it right. At this point, I think there will be 9 BP noms.

[Impact]

Well as recent years have shown-song can have less then 5 as well.
