8th ANNUAL OSCAR PREDICTION CONTEST
RULES OF THE CONTEST:

1) Your guesses should be for those movies/people who you think WILL win the Oscar, not who you think should win! A very clear difference.

2) Points will be allotted to each category as specified below. Whoever ends up with the most points....well, wins!

3) In case of a tie, the winner will be determined according to the one who picked correctly the top-most categories (i.e. if one person got BEST PICTURE correct and the other didn't, all the way down the categories). The winner will ultimately be chosen at the discretion of the accountants at JoBlo Media Inc. (that's "code" for ME!!)

4) If you haven't included a valid email address with your picks, we won't be able to email you if you win, hence, you automatically forfeit the prize to the next person on the list.

5) The contest begins on February 18th and ends on February 24th at at 6pm (EST). The Oscars will be handed out on February 24th at 8pm (EST).

The 2007 Oscar™ Prediction contest is now over. Stay tuned to JoBlo.com for the results on Monday. Thanks to everyone who participated!
