My friends, it was a pleasure tonight, not just because I've somehow won again, but because for a change none of the winners made me angry. Thanks to the prize donors this year, and to RottenAtom for always making sure the contest happens. I suspect the year I don't find this contest is the year I s...

And only one difference between us: actress.

That Gosling performance was something else.

It it the weed, or is this show pretty good so far?

That opened the field somewhat.

edited to add: And again!

Hello, friends! Delighted to be playing again!

Cerebus, amazing result. Congratulations!

RottenAtom, thanks as always for hosting.

I ended with eight wrong, which might be my worst showing yet. My wife wasn't available this year to look over my shoulder as I made my picks, and it showed.

See y'all next year!

Looks like the pool page missed Live Action Short in the scoring, and that was a real tiebreaker:

Congratulations to the four JLC predictors.

I am totally stoked this is back! Of course, this is another year where I avoided sitting in theatres, for the most part, so I'm way behind on watching actual nominees. I'm sad this performance disqualified itself (or so I've heard, I'm not paying enough attention). It was hardly the best of the yea...

I gather there's to be no Rotten Oscars '23. I'll miss it, but it was definitely on the wane. Thanks for all the years of managing it, RA. Now I have to find another competitive Oscar pool.

I neglected in my original post to add a photo, so here's one. I've spent the last couple of weeks getting caught up on some of the major nominees, including finally seeing The Power of the Dog last weekend. I didn't love it while I watched it. I didn't love it when it was over. But it's growing on ...

I always love a chance to enter this pool. It seems like the only serious movie people I've found are gathered at the wall art appreciation site. Makes perfect sense. I'm seen so few of the serious contenders this year, though - I'm going to feel like most civilians feel about the Oscars most years....

Looking at the final standings on runyourpool, I see that that they now list the tiebreaker difference for everybody. If there are no objections (want to be as fair and transparent as possible), we can just use that to determine who gets the remaining prizes. https://i.imgflip.com/5787l9.jpg #thats...

I've only just realized you're waiting on me to pick something. After missing both lead acting awards, it hardly feels like I deserve much of anything, but that Jaws print really stands out. Thanks to Binky for offering it up! Thanks for running another successful Rotten Oscars, RA. I don't have eno...

I can't remember another year when my pool picks fell apart on the acting awards. Nice fake-out, Academy!

Nice catch on the end, perfecttree!
