Yay! If Levy wins, then that means I might get second with my 336 score, or third, depending if someone just beats me. Either way, I'm happy! Top 3 is awesome for me.
PEACE, Mike

His total is indeed 325. Man, am I the ONLY person who can count!?! lol. PEACE, Mike I thought we had agrees that no points were taken away fror NOT predicting a a snubbed film. *sigh* I mean..it only makes sense right?
If, for exampple, The Terminal was snubbed, but I didn't include it as part of my list of films that I thought would be snubbed....by not predicting it I lose my chance at gaining 3 points. So then you also have 3 points TAKEN AWAY. It's like receiving a double penalty?

You should have made that clear in the original post :razz:
I predicted Fahrenheit 9/11 wouldn't be snubbed, but it was, shouldn't 3 points more be taken away?

10. Predict any other 3 categories you want. (worth up to 5 points each) (Note: In questions 7/9 you are asked to predict only either best supporting actor OR actress and either Best Foreign Movie or Best Visual Effects.

Hey Mike,
Yeah, in the last question, you get 3 points for every film you accurately predicted to be snubbed. But then you lose 3 points for every film you guess to be snubbed, but was NOT snubbed, and for every film that was snubbed on the list, but you didn't predict to be snubbed. Get it? That's why your score ends up being lower.
PEACE, Mike

You have 306 pts. because everyone gets points substracted if you didn't predict a movie to be snubbed that was snubbed in the end. _________________The greatest thing on earth is to love and to be loved in return!
