My brother likes to host an annual "oscar party" at his place and give out prizes to whoever can guess the most categories right, so I thought I might host a similar contest on the forums. You'll get a and bragging rights to put the title "cinéaste extraordinaire!" in your sig if you can guess more categories correctly than anyone else who chooses to participate! Deadline would be midnight Feb. 21st, since people might be on screwy time frames. You can PM me your choices at any time (later is probably better in case you change your mind about a category) and just put a simple post that you'd like to participate (that way you don't have to worry about someone stealing your winners or bumping the thread) and feel free to discuss the nominations. Hope this will be fun.
