Contest Results!!

Slumdog Millionaire won 8 Oscars! Damn impressive for a flick that almost went straight to DVD. Tells you how much Hollywood knows.

But what about the BMF contest? That was a race down to the wire and beyond. For an Oscar show that never strayed from the expected, the conventional wisdom took the contest by storm. First off, a special shout-out to Pauline the Great. In a hotly contest worst showing, several submissions hit 5 correct picks, including Pauline the Great. However, it was with the extra push from a second submission that Pauline the Great nailed a whole 4 picks. Better luck next year.

The Franchise, with a last minute submission, scored a whopping 14 out of 15. Kentobox also put his film major background to work, nailing all but one correctly. Congrats on a hell of a job.

However, two contenders did them one better. Yup, Jenny and Loc scored impressive perfect scores, nailing 15 out of 15 in the selected categories. Crikeys!! So it came down to the tiebreakers.

Who picked Slumdog Millionaire as the winner of most awards? Both of them!! Double crikey!! But, Jenny gave the proverbial underdog a total of 5 awards while Loc dropped the magical 6! Yup, in a year that required a tiebreaker to declare a victor, the domination of Slumdog Millionaire catapulted Loc to victory. When asked how it felt to win it all, Loc had this to say:

"Patting myself on the back would be classless. So I congratulate all those that came so close and put up a great fight. I hope to see you next year as I defend my title."

He said this while patting himself on the back. (much like Barry Horowitz at 35 seconds)

Hope everyone had fun. See you next year!
