Looking for FAB8 CD Number 439
Oh yeah these are tomorrow night. It's sad how little I don't care. I'm very unhappy with the Academy these days. I don't feel right even predicting all the craft awards they've deigned too unimportant to air live.

Oscar night is here!
The Rules
Oscar night is right around the corner, so I'm going to post the rules for those who might not be familiar with them. Please tell your friends from other boards to come on over and join us. The more the merrier.
You have until showtime on March 27, 2022.
IMPORTANT: Don't forget the tie breaker. It's simple: Basically, everybody will submit their choices like usual, except they will also add which film they think will win the most Oscars and give a number. In case of a tie, whomever has the closest number without going over is the winner. If the tie remains, the person who submits their ballot earliest is the winner.
Predictions have to be in by showtime, so there is no rush to post them. We still have some time before Oscar night. I myself will be waiting for the last possible moment to post my predictions.
Remember, these are just educated guesses. None of us have seen every film nominated and I doubt if anybody has seen any of the documentary short subject nominees. Just make an educated guess. Or an uneducated guess.
Where it says "name" just put your DT.org handle, or designate in some way that you are from the Dark Tower boards. I will be sharing the same contest form with other friends and I don't want to get them confused.
Good Luck!

Tie breaker: Dune 6 oscars.
Hoping for a few surprises tonight, but Ariana was such a lock.
So if that Sound award was given out earlier and edited in, what was the point? How much time did it save? Maybe 20 seconds?
So happy for CODA! It’s not often my #1 movie of the year wins Best Picture!
Now all I will remember is Will Smith smacking the shit out of Chris Rock.
Well, that was a memorable night for some not-so-movie-related reasons! We will get to that tomorrow. On to the results!
Myself, T-Dogz and Mae dropped some huge scores! In the end, T-Dogz and I tied with 21. T-Dogz correctly predicted that Dune would win 6 awards, making him the winner by first tiebreaker! Nice job, T-Dogz. You technically didn't correct your ballot by showtime, but neither of those awards were impacted, so no harm, no foul.
2022 Results
T-Dogz - 21 (Winner by 1st tiebreaker)
Servant - 21
Mae - 20
Lurker - 15
Rich - 15
Web- 12
Matt - 10
Stockerlone - 6
I'm assuming Rich is someone from the boards. I don't know anyone by that name in my personal life. Thank you everyone for participating!

The unedited moment. I cannot believe people thought this was staged. Rock has declined to press charges but the DA could still press charges for assault.
Just my opinion but I really think Smith should be expelled from the Academy and made to give the Oscar back.
20, 21 wow! Congrats all. I never did get to Dune, but I squeezed in West Side Story. I think I saw more movies and docs this year than I usually do.
I thought that Will/Chris thing was scripted - I mean it looks to me like Smith is laughing while Jada is obviously making a face. Then I heard the clip with what Will said - that was censored on TV - and that did not sound scripted. One of the reporters for CNN said his wife has an auto-immune disease that causes hair loss. I'm gonna follow this one. I'd like to see the bruise.
And I must say Schumer surprised me. She seemed to be on her best behaviour.
Looking for FAB8 CD Number 439
That bruise may very well end Smith's career. If we punch/slap everyone that makes a joke, a lot of teeth are going to be on the ground. Ricky Gervais hosting the Golden Globes comes to mind. Rock could have fell backwards and busted his head wide open. Very lucky it was not any worse. If Schumer had made that same joke, would Smith's response been OK?
This made me laugh. We got a surprise alright!! I just seen what happened. Wow
