Oscar Contest 2021

[EthanE]

Are we having one this year? 

Less and less people are participating over the years.....

What do people think ?

There's hardly been any films released of any note.
It'd be more like a random pot luck guessing games.

Doesn't seem worth it to me.

Are the Oscars relevant?

The winners deserve to have won? Like Gwyneth Paltrow for Best Leading Actress. Or Shakespeare In Love won Best Picture over Saving Private Ryan

Fashion, bad fashion gets remembered. Bjork, do you remember why she was there?

The speeches for one thing. To much of a statement, like with Leonardo DiCaprio's speech. Or Sam Smiths
“no openly gay man had ever won an Oscar” speech.
I get that there is a big platform, a big audience, but still. Keep it simple, just thank everyone invoked and move on.

Does it do much for traffic/engagement or is it the usual suspects with no one else paying attention?

Doesn't seem worth it to me.

I always rely on random pot-luck guessing.

I think I finished in the Top  last year but only on the basis there were so few entries: barely double figures if I remember correctly.

If it's run, I'll do my annual guessing but the engagement does seem to have dropped over the years so it may not be worth it.

We usually only get about 20-30 entries. Most of which are regular players.

I think we'll skip this year for Covid (lack of films) reasons.

Phil, you coward. FREE FMF.

You pretend you won again.

Congratulations

I demand a recount
