[QUOTE="Mark, post: 1893062, member: 5"] Let's get the whole Oscar hype started earlier than normal this year with a preliminary contest called "The Oscar Nom Challenge!" In this one everyone tries to name their five picks for the BIG 6 categories (picture, director, lead and supporting male and female). I'll come up with a prize sometime closer to the end, but it'll be something worthwhile PLUS you get some bragging rights going into my annual Oscar picks contest. I think the way we'll do this is to say that we'll leave it open up until midnight, the end of the year, central time (my zone). You can stake your claim to a post and edit it right up until that cut off time but if you edit your post with your picks after that time it automatically disqualifies you from the contest. I'll be using this first post for my picks and might change them before the end also. Best Picture 01. The Aviator 02. Million Dollar Baby 03. Closer 04. Ray 05. Kinsey Best Director 01. Martin Scorsese - The Aviator 02. Clint Eastwood - Million Dollar Baby 03. Mike Nichols - Closer 04. Taylor Hackford - Ray 05. Bill Condon - Kinsey Best Actor 01. Liam Neeson - Kinsey 02.

(As stated, I will likely change some of these, and will definitely fill in the blank spots, before the end of the year. I'm not even positive at this point if I have some of the people in the categories for which they will qualify. :) ) [/QUOTE]
