Nomination voting for the 89th Annual Academy Awards opened on January 5 and will be announced on the 24th. The purpose of this game is to predict the nominees while matching as many of your opponents as possible. This will be the warm up game for the Oscar Prediction Sheep to be run in February.

Rather than running this as a peehs, which I have never done and scares me, any answer that is incorrect will be snubbed and will score zero points. This is still a sheep; the object is to get the highest score.

***INCORRECT ANSWERS SCORE ZERO***

Okay, now to the fun stuff. Which films/actors/actresses/directors will be nominated for the following categories:

1. Best Picture
2. Best Director
3. Best Actor
4. Best Actress
5. Best Supporting Actor
6. Best Supporting Actress
7. Best Original Screenplay
8. Best Adapted Screenplay
9. Best Animated Feature
10. Best Foreign Language Film
11. Best Feature Documentary
12. Best Original Score
13. Best Original Song
14. Best Visual Effects
15. Best Cinematography

***INCORRECT ANSWERS SCORE ZERO***

PM me a single-spaced unnumbered list with your answers. Entries are due Monday, January 23 at 9 p.m. server time. Reveal will be on Tuesday, January 24 once the nominations have been announced. Good luck and thanks for playing!

I love that you're running this as a sheep instead of a peehs, IBD. This is the way to go.

Finally stopped being lazy and entered.

While it might scare you, this would be mega-elite as a peehs.

I'll consider that for next year's game. Idea came to me spur of the moment and I wasn't sure if it would be way too hard without allowing research. Didn't want to dissuade people from entering. I also despise peehs and wouldn't wish it on my worst enemy.

no research for peehs is to keep people from just looking up all the correct answers.

since that's impossible in a game about predicting the future, it wouldnt be unreasonable for this type of unusual peehs to allow research.

All right, I suppose there's a first time for everything.

GAME IS CANCELED

Apologies to the 5 of you who entered. Lesson learned. I'll run it as a peehs next year. Or someone else can.

I'm going to lock up so no one else accidentally enters. If you have any questions or comments, PM me.
