Welcome to the 91st Annual Academy Awards Prediction Sheep. It will score like regular sheep, except that correct answers (the ones that actually win the award) will score the sheep score PLUS two times the difference between the sheep score and the original score.

For example, if the scoring goes like this:
Movie A – 12
Movie B – 11
Movie C – 9
Movie D – 3
Movie E – 1

If movie A wins, there will be no change in scoring: 12 + (12 – 12) * 3 = 12
If movie B wins, the 11 people who answered B will score 11 + (12 – 11) * 3 = 14
If movie C wins, the 9 people who answered C will score 9 + (12 – 9) * 3 = 18
If movie D wins, the 3 people who answered D will score 3 + (12 – 3) * 3 = 30
If movie E wins, the person who answered E will score 1 + (12 – 1) * 3 = 34

So there is a reward for picking the sheep, BUT there is a bigger reward for being correct (especially if you are one of only a few who select it).

I think this might be asked every time we play. Blame eyebooger.

Okay, I confused the score of the sheep with the sheep score of the answer.



Carry on.

Is there a way to random.org this?

In

I can do this for you if you want.

I'll take all the nominees from the Wikipedia page and will randomise them for you and send them to you.

Actually it's more work than I originally thought. Might get round to it later, I'm about half way through scraping the data from Wikipedia

Nah, you dont need to do all that for me. I'll just look up a few entries and pick at them randomly.

No need to make your life harder.

I took less time to make my selections than in most years. Worrisome.
