Updated mine a bit, I got rid of Von Sydow as a alt and put Hill and added Zoo to song.

[Impact]

I think I'll start getting some finishing touches on my ballot. Also-Rich I will count your 2nd ballot, but you should of justed edited it the first time, just saying.

[Impact]

Done. Or at least I hope I am. I probably should double check.

^You have sound mixing twice.

[JamesFord92]

Thanks, fixed it. I always get those two confused, to be honest I've never really understood what the difference was.

[Impact]

Welcome.You know-sound is one of the few cats that is still left from the first Oscars. The other ones being, picture, director, actor, actress and cinematography. Though it had a diffrent meaning at the time. And writing had diffrent cats during the first Oscars.

[Impact]

Okay. I will score this soon. Though song is tough as there were only 2.And I wonder if anyone had Loud and Close? (Also I almost did have Real Steel but replaced it with Pirates last night as it made more sense at the time...)I'll lock this so nobody decides to change theres.

[Impact]

Okay I'll go ahead and score this.

[Impact]

Scores: James Ford: 146Rich: 146Eugene V: 137Dexter: 135Stripe: 134Spaghetti: 132Impact: 127Acsc: 103*Coolio: 77**=Incomplete.Wish I didn't replace Von Sydow at the last moment along with a couple other ones I did.

[Impact]

Congrats Rich. (Him and Eugene V. did have the most predicts I think for picture)

[Impact]

Oops! Forgot to score James! I'll do that now!

[Impact]

Corrected! And Rich and James won! Good job guys!

[Impact]

I do hope I did score these correctly though.

[RichWS]

A tie! Thanks for setting this up, Impact.

[Impact]

Welcome.

[JamesFord92]

Good job Rich! Both of us can take pride in being good at something pretty useless. Oh and thanks Impact for taking the time to set up and score everything.

[Impact]

Thanks and welcome. My biggest downfall was costumes. Only got Hugo and Artist correct. (Though I did have Anyomous as a alternate)
