My Score: 8/10 + 2/3

By my count it’s a tie, even after the tie-breaker between Acid Flux and the Pro who both got 8/10 : 2/3

It’s late, I’m sick, will recount in the morning to make sure.

It was a great ceremony and a fun contest. Thanks for your participation.

I should have stuck with my gut on ‘Adapted Screenplay’. I changed it from Slumdog Millionaire to The Reader right before I posted it.

P.S. Kudos to Auser for being the only one to get Foreign Film & Animated Short correct!

And the final count is in. There was a 3-way tie with 8 out of 10 correct. The tie-breaker round resulted in a 2-way tie with both entrants having 2/3 correct. As the prize was an even number of 18 BP, it will be split evenly, with 9 BP going to each of the winners. Congratulations and thanks for playing. Also thanks again to Evil Trout for letting me host a gambling pool, and becoming Forumwarz’ First Bookie. Also thanks for his generous donation.

the Pro: 8 (2/3 tie breakers)

Acid Flux: 8 (2/3 tie breakers)

Fortunato: 8 (0/3 tie breakers)

I meant he got both categories right, and it was a tricky pick.
