Hey, Movie Lovers!
The ballots have been tallied and the 2010 Friday Night Movie Oscar Contest is over! I had 28 participants this year.
And the winner is my high school friend Lisa Smallwood who got 15 out of 21 correct guesses!!! Congratulations to Lisa for her win! She'll be receiving movie passes and her own mini-Oscar statuette. Second place finisher is my buddy Jed Shumsky with 14 correct guesses. Rounding out the top three in third place is a 3-way tie with a score of 13 (that's a lot of 3's in one sentence!): Brenda Van Damme, Debby Greer and Katie Wallace. Congrats to all!
Check out the Internet Movie Database (IMDb) Oscar Site for more details on this year's event.
Thanks for participating. See you on the red carpet next year.
And the Oscar goes to...
