Oscar Game: We Have Winners
Dateline: 03/20/98
The best selector of The Oscar Game was R. Harney who predicted the winners of 17 of the awards correctly. In keeping with the aura of this year's ceremonies, I'll be sending R. Harney a CD of the soundtrack from, you guessed it, Titanic.
These are the results (and tally of your votes) of the Academy Awards ceremony. By the way, I had 13 right on my ballot, and that's with refusing to vote for Titanic as much as possible. Or, as T says, "How can Titanic win for editing, at over three hours, it's clear it wasn't edited at all."
Note: Percentages are rounded and may not add up to 100%; Winners are bolded.
