MovieMan89 Posted December 6, 2015 Share Posted December 6, 2015 11 hours ago, Infernus said: I don't think it will happen but I hope it does. It will benefit me a lot and would mean no one gets full points. Although even if Peanuts does get to 140m, spectre will still only need to get to 201m to win. Yeah, I thought Peanuts was getting like 4m this weekend, but only did 3.5. So probably not gonna happen now. Still, you never know with animation and the holidays. Could have crazy jumps over Xmas/New Years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chasmmi Posted December 8, 2015 Author Share Posted December 8, 2015 Ok Nut Job 2 has been replaced with Sisters. Anyone above who predicted Nut Job or against it will have that question voided (no win, no lose and no effect on the 100% bonus) As for the following questions, if you chose the option including Nut Job 2 then you will be awarded the abstain points and that option is taken off the table. If the film gets reinserted before the end of the game, then of course all of this is moot and all is back on. 2) Tell me which of these will be the lowest grossing film of the winter domestically: 1) Point Break 2) The Nut Job 2 3) Victor Frankenstein 4) The Last Witch Hunter Answer correctly: 10,000 points Answer incorrectly: -5,000 points State that you abstain: 3,000 points 16) Which combination of films will gross the smallest amount of money during the game? 1) Burnt, Macbeth, Alvin and the Chipmunks, Pride and Prejudice and Zombies 2) Rock the Kasbah, Victor Frankenstein, Point Break, Ride Along 2 3) Jem and the Holograms, Sisters, The Nut Job 2, 13 Hours: Secret Soldiers of Benzhagi 4) Trumbo, Scout Guide to Apocalypse, Deadpool, Daddy’s Home Answer correctly: 30,000 points Answer incorrectly: lose 25,000 points State that you abstain: 5,000 points If you had Nut Job in your top 15 Domestic, well you need to take a long hard look at yourself. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Infernus Posted December 11, 2015 Share Posted December 11, 2015 (edited) Well, their's still no clarity over who's getting into supporting and who's geting into lead categories for the oscars. So I did and wrote somehing about it my main post in that thread. I thought I should post it here too, so here it is - wherever there was ambiguity, I mentioned it like this - Danish Girl : Best Actor, Best Supporting Actress (or lead actress if vikander gets into the lead category) 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. So what do you think chas? Edited December 11, 2015 by Infernus Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And lose points only if they don't get into either. So what do you think chas? It's part of the risk. If you're afraid you shouldn't write it that way. Danish Girl: Best Actor, Best Supporting Actress means if Vikander goes to lead you lost. If you just write 'Danish Girl' you win no matter where Vikander competes. Not as much points, but you still win. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm going to take the following to work for your answers: 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) So for the 3 films in question, I'm going to read it as: Danish Girl : Best Actor, Best Makeup Spotlight - Best Picture. original Screenplay, Supporting Actor, Director, Carol-Best Actress, Best Picture, Best Director, best supporting actress, best adapted screenplay Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
