Update: Ross Miller is the winner of the really cool Resevoir Dogs poster. Would Ross please send an email to john@rowthree.com with his mailing address. I’ve posted the scores for everyone in the bottom of the comments.
It is that time of year again and we are all getting ready for Academy Awards. Unlike some of the contributors here at Row Three I’m not a real big fan of awards show but I wanted to be involved so I decided to start running an Oscar Pool. This year we’ve got a special prize for the winner. Kurt has agreed to put up an Ibraheem Youssef designed Reservoir Dogs Poster (apropos of Inglourious Basterds being nominated for best picture) which is valued around $100 Canadian. The contest is open to anyone. (In the spirit of fun and bragging rights, the Row Three contributors will be submitting their picks but are not eligible for the prize.)
In the case of a tie we will start at the top of the list (ie Best Actor) and see if any one has it wrong and they will be both dropped out. If everyone has it wrong or correct then we will compare the next one down the list until only one person is left.
You may submit your choices in the comments. Please do not type them in yourself please copy and paste them in the exact same order as presented below. I will post a sample submission as the first comment for this post.
Submissions will be accept up until March 7 at 5 p.m. PT/8 p.m. ET. which just happens to be the start of the show.
Only one submission will be accepted for each person. No changes are allowed once you submit so please consider your choices carefully.

still need to make my picks, but just wanted to say I watched Crazy Heart yesterday and Jeff Bridges as best actor winner seems like a stretch, it was pretty bland, the performance and the movie.
Having watched The Messenger I find it incredible Ben Foster is not nominated.
(I’m guessing these are who we think WILL win as opposed to who we think SHOULD win. I’m proceeding with that assumption)

I will be posting the winner sometime between later tonight and first thing tomorrow morning once I go through all the entries.
It looks like our friend Ross Miller won the poster with 18 correct.
Here are the scores I calculated. If you find an error it is because people did not always directly cut and paste. I hope that I caught any changes they made to titles.
Ross can you send an email with your mailing info to john@rowthree.com and I’ll get Kurt to mail the poster out to you.

Well done, Ross. This poster couldn’t go to a better places, and I happen to know you are a big-time Tarantino fan! Kudos! (although I’m going to wince at the UK Postage! But it is all in the name of retaining readership!!)
While I shouldn’t make any comments since I didn’t actually enter… but damn I still will. Only 6 Rot…. wow.
Nice! You’re right Kurt, couldn’t have found a better home. Enjoy Ross… you inglourious basterd.
thats why I chose not to count this year

Damn… now I can’t make fun of him as much.
I’m going to assign him a -3 for not directly cutting and pasting. My excel thought they were different.
Looking over again, looks like I got 17 as well I think. Not 16

Wow, thanks RT guys! Never usually win in any of these kinds of things. And yes, the poster will have a good home here – I already have one of Reservoir Dogs but it’s not as cool as that crayon one. Cheers!
