The Official 2023 Oscar Discussion/Contest Thread

[Still Servant]

I've been slacking!

I hope we get a little bit more participation this year. It's always more fun with lots of players.

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 Sunday, March 12, 2023.

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.

Returning this year:

Returning this year will be the online ballot submission I created. Of course, ballots can still be submitted here. I will link it here once it's created

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.

I thought my joke was pretty funny myself.. but that's ok I'll take the negative Rep with a smile.

So Anyway,
I'm disrespectful when I'm joking about an individual on the threads but..
Kris is well within his rights to call another human being off the threads an "Entitled Bitch" and mean it.

Seriously, how condescending can you be ?

Sorry Kris but my response was not for you, it was for T-dog.

Again, another condescending statement, this time from you Kris... but I'm still OK with my joke about YOU being the bitch, I still think it was funny.
But since you jumped in.. Are you really that thin skinned, that you have to be constantly stroked by your fan club.
I've been told that you now deem yourself as the "Worlds TOP authority on all things Stephen King" but I didn't think that also carried over to simple everyday opinions about.. "well everything"
Yeah your right, I wont get it, probably or otherwise.

(That condescending christmas statement thingey, you can stick it up you ass)
You're really not all that.

[fernandito]

Let's keep it civilized gentlemen.

Otherwise I'll have to start handing timeouts

[Odetta]

I used to do OK in this a DECADE ago… maybe I’ll try again
