The Guilds laid everything out for the Oscars. Maybe next year there will be some surprises or even a close race for Best Picture.

Let me know when to start the 2015 Movie Awards Thread. And let's do an Oscar Pool next year.

^ I'd love to do an Oscar pool. I tried to start one a few years back but nobody wanted to play with me.

Thank you guys for a fun Film Award season. It was great to indulge with others who had cared and followed the 'scene' just as geek-ily/snobbishly as I do every year.

What does an Oscar pool entail?

Yes, Bright Eyes it was very fun!
