CollegeCandy’s Oscar Contest!
March 5, 2010 12:00 pm Posted in Buzz, Cool Stuff, Entertainment Candy -- NYU g+ page
2009 was a huge year for movies. We had the drama of Precious, the awe-inspiring Avatar, the suspense of Inglourious Basterds, and much more. And now, this Sunday, we’re finally going to find out who did it all best at the Academy Awards!
Everyone’s got their own predictions of who’s gonna win (or, more realistically, if anything can beat Avatar), so we thought we’d make things interesting and turn it into a little contest.
The Rules:
You have between now and Sunday, March 7th at 3pm ET to choose who you think will win for Best Picture, Best Actor in a Leading Role, Best Actress in a Leading Role, Best Actor in a Supporting Role, Best Actress in a Supporting Role, and Best Director. Make your picks (you have to do all 6 or you will not be eligible to win!) and leave them in the comments section below.
We’ll keep a tally as we watch the show (and sip on a delicious Champagne cocktail!) and at the end of the (long, looong) night, we’ll see who got the most correct and send them a $200 gift bag courtesy of Tarte Cosmetics, our absolute favorite makeup line. (Seriously, check out their website. This stuff is awesome.)
If there is a tie, we will take all the top scorers, put their names in a hat (or the empty bowl that was once full of Doritos before we got our hands on it) and draw a winner at random.
The winner will be announced on our Facebook Fan Page and on Twitter on Monday, March 8th at 12 pm ET. (Yes, that means you gotta become our fan or follow us on Twitter to win!)
And that’s it. Check out the nominees below, make your predictions, then watch and see if you’ll be the big winner at the end of the night!
Good luck!
