However, all those deported old men weren't the only winners on Oscar night.  That's right, here we have the results of the First Annual ObscureBlog Oscar Pool, aka There Will Be Wild Ass Guesses About Short Film Winners.

Before we get to the big winners, some observations from Oscar night:

Nobody picked Best Actress right (0/6). 
Nobody picked Best Supporting Actress right.
Everybody got Original Screenplay right.
Nicole Kidman would show you her boobs, but you had to throw diamonds instead of beads.




























Tier 1: Thanks for playing!

Greg P King, 15 pts (out of a possible 52)
Sister Rose, 17 pts
The Suze, 23 pts

You guys were 1/3 on best picture and 0/3 on best director.  If you are looking for a silver lining, though, you were the only three to correctly pick the winner of Achievement in Sound Mixing.  So, congrats on that.

Tier 2: The Contenders

James Paul Fisher III, 31 pts
Jesse, 33 pts

The differences between contending and winning were small this year, and the little mistakes came back to haunt.  JP3, not picking Ratatouille for Best Animated Film was a huge blunder that cost you second place.  However, it still wouldn't have been enough to topple the eventual winner of this year's Oscar derby...

Tier 3: The Champion

Yaworm, 36 pts

Congratulations on your win, and enjoy drinking my milkshake.
