The winner of the Oscar prediction contest is... ironflange!

[Skinner]

We had three individuals who guessed 20 correctly in our Oscar prediction contest:

ironflange
CollegeDude
gorrister

Because there was a tie, we had to go to the tie-breaker: "Guess the time, to the exact minute, when they announce the name of the Best Picture winner." Their guesses were:

ironflange - 12:12am
CollegeDude - 11:11pm
gorrister - 11:15 pm

The Best Picture winner was announced at approximately 12:05 am, which makes ironflange the winner!

ironflange wins a choice of one item from the DU Store!

Thank you to everyone who participated, and thank you to the people who helped me tabulate the scores! If anyone would like to double-check our tabulation, please check this thread:

6. Rumor has it that Ironflange and Katherine Harris were seen having lunch

I'd demand a recount on the Oscar votes, but I have a feeling that ironflange would use the influence that her family has with the SCOTUS.

Remember when Shirley MacLaine accepted her Oscar? She said "This show has been longer than my career."
