Well I hope you caught up on all your animated shorts, because the 1st Annual Fantasy Oscar Picks at the-reviewer.net starts now! The rules are simple, from the list below, reply in comments with your pick for the winner in each category. When the winners are announced if you are correct you will get points based on the number of nominees in that category, if you get best picture correct, you get 10 points, best animated movie, 3 points. Whoever has the most points at the end is the winner, in the event of a tie, I will do random draws for the winner. The winner will get their choice of any blu-ray or DVD from any movie that was nominated below. In the event of a movie not being released yet, you can wait, or get the amazon gift card equivalent value. However more so than the Blu-ray prize is the year long bragging rights you will get amongst all your friends that you beat. I really want to see some competition and communication out there, trash talking about other people's picks, why yours are better. I am hoping you enter, and then tell all your friends about it, not only can you complete against everyone on the-reviewer.net but just in your group of friends! Share this on your facebook, retweet this post, do whatever you can to make as many people enter as possible.
More rules:
Please register with your e-mail address when you make your entry I will not be able to contact you directly after if you do not put in an e-mail address. I do not spam or even sent out a newsletter.
Only one entry per person.
Entries will only be accepted until Sunday Feb 27th 2011 at 1PM Central. At that time any comments posted after will not count.
You can enter in as many or as few categories as you wish, but you get no penalty for wrong answers so no reason not to enter in all categories.
I think that is it, good luck to everyone.
