Fixed! EDIT: Just a heads up that since the number of categories has changed this year for the first time since we've been running this contest, I've changed how the game is scored. For example, instead of 21 out of 22 being the record for most correct picks, the record is now 95.5% correct picks. T...

Thanks for the heads up guys. The categories are now in the "right" order. This didn't effect anything, it's jut my preference. And the Best Picture nominees are now correct. There was a misspelling in my database of nominees, so when the code couldn't find a movie by that name it defaulted to the f...

Ugh. Error with the number of best pic noms and the list isn’t in the order I usually put it in. I’ve temporarily closed voting and will fix in the morning.

Let me know of any issues. For the first time in decades, the Academy changed the number of categories and I had to rewrite a lot of code to account for it!

Speaking of nostalgia... one of the most watched videos in YT history was uploaded 15 years go today.

October 21, 2015 in Back to the Future... and now April 6, 2021 in Tiny Toons. The future has arrived.

Got my second jab today! My son had his first last week and my daughter is getting the one dose version next week. The wife got hers back in January, so that will be all of us done soon! The city I live in is already at 30% of the population having had at least one dose of vaccine, which is really g...

Interesting article in the NYT this week about how the US and UK are in much better positions than the EU when it comes to the vaccine due to the more aggressive moves they made last year helping companies working on them. https://www.nytimes.com/2021/03/20/world/europe/europe-vaccine-rollout-astraz...

Note the above HT video is FULL of spoilers!! And...it’s not so much the usual HT treatment as just a plot-picking exercise, and a pretty unfunny one at that. Whatever they say about the elements, Raya just *works* as a slice of entertainment. I’ve been thinking about this more and more today, and ...

Watched it the day it came out but with Raya and Spongebob out around that time too, I forgot all about this! I guess that's a pretty damning indictment there! Agree with most everything -- especially the music, and except for Chloe Grace Moretz. I thought she was charming in it and totally threw he...

Regal, AMC, and Cinemark all have their own monthly pass service now so not likely a repeat of their old model. I’m betting some kind of movie streaming or rental service, assuming it’s not some sham announcement.

That was a pretty good one ya hoser, eh.
