Here's the Official Ballot.

Here's the Official Rules:

  • There are 24 categories to choose from.

  • You pick the winner in each.

  • The categories are weighted: some are worth 3 points, others 2 points and the majority are worth 1 point.

  • The winner is the one with most points at the end of the telecast.

  • There are 40 points total.

  • In the event of a tie, the tie-breaker is the player who comes closest to but not over the number of people in the US who watched the telecast.

  • If after the first tie-breaker, then I pick names from a hat.

  • One entry per contestant.


Since the google form I am using allows multiple entries. I must insist that your last submission before the telecast will be your official submission. Think before submitting.

Polls close Sunday, Feb 22 @ 12:00 AM.

This is the point breakdown structure:

Best Picture, Actor, Actress, Supporting Actor, and Supporting Actress: 3 points each (15 total)

Best Director, Animated Feature, Animated Short, Adapted Screenplay, Original Screenplay, and Art Direction: 2 points each (12 total)

The rest are worth 1 point each (13 total)

Total: 40 ((5*3) + (6*2) + 13)

Here's the Prizes:
Grand Prize Winner receives his/her choice of a DVD of any of the 2009 nominees.
Second Prize Winner receives his/her choice of any of the Best Pictures nominees DVDs.

**** UPDATE ****

Second Prize Winner is the next highest scorer or second runner up after tie breaks.
