And the Oscar goes to...
After hours and hours of tabulating the votes...

She'll be getting a wicked prize (still to be determined).

Deb won with 14 correct answers. The average was between 9 and 10 answers correct. Good job Deb!
Now for some odd facts about this year's contest:
Only one person got the 'Best Animated Short' Category Correct: That would be Amy Kl.
Only one person got the 'Best Documentary Short' Category Correct: That's Barbra
Only two people got the 'Best Song' Category correct: Perl and Deb W.
13 of us were wrong, Million Dollar Baby was the 'Best Picture', not 'The Aviator'
80% of the Best Actor Votes went to Jamie Foxx
65% of the Best Actress Votes went to Hillary Swank
55% of participants thought that Clint Eastwood would win as best director (Not as much of a contest with Scorsese)
And just as I suspected, the minor categories (like sound and cinematography) stumped most people.
Deb, I'll be contacting you for your address (although I think I may have it) so's I can send youse your prize.
