Once again. It’s that time of year. I know you movie goers love it. OSCAR POOL time!

But before we get to the ballot and the ceremony, we have to always visit the Science and Technology Awards, the Geek Oscars. This year they had the lovely Elizabeth Banks host the awards. If I could, I would include a question about the Geek winners in the pool. I usually can’t figure out how to squeeze that in plus it’s always too late by the time I remember when they do that.

Here’s the direct quote of the rules. You’ll remember them from last year.

Make your choices.
Select one from each category.
A category has points assigned to it.
If you correctly predict the winner, you receive the assigned points.
At the end of the night who ever has the most points wins.

Tie breakers:
1) Closest to but not over the number of people in the US who watch the telecast
2) Pick names from a hat

There are 24 categories. Points break down is as follows:
Best Picture, Animated Feature: 4 points each (8 total)
Actor, Actress, Costume Design, Makeup: 3 points each (12 total)
Supporting Actor, Supporting Actress, Best Director, Art Direction, Cinematography, Sound Mixing: 2 points each (12 total)
The rest are worth 1 point each (12 total)

Total Points Available: (2*4) + (4*3) + (6*2) + (12*1) = 44

Here’s the link to the ballot: http://spreadsheets.google.com/viewform?formkey=dE8zcnc0ZDFfLXFJbFVVS21QeFk0Rmc6MA. You get one entry, but you can fill it out as many times. I’ll use your last most latest entry as your official entry.

This year there will only be one prize. Again its DVD/BluRay of any of the best picture nominees. It would’ve been cool to have a couple of other prizes like last year, but the recession has cut my spending habits and unfortunately one of the prizes.

The form will be active until Sunday of the telecast. I hope to live blog/tweet it and try to tally your votes. And get the winner out.

Good luck and better get your 3D glasses on!
