[SteveGon]

I'll take 1943 Best Picture Casablanca.

 

[ChuckDeLa]

1977 Best Picture Annie Hall

 

[ChuckDeLa]

1 Best Visual Effects/Makeup/Art Direction/Costume Design/Sound/etc.

Yeesh, I've got like 15 possibilities for this one. I think Best Actor is gonna be hardest for me, there's only about 5 that I really like.

 

[Chris_Richard]

1982 Best Actress: Meryl Streep, Sophie's Choice
That year had two of the best performances ever, however the other didn't win.

ErikG is up.

On Deck:
Jan H
Rob Tomlin
george kaplan

(Erik, you're also up in Foreign Film 2)

 

[ErikG]

1962 Best Picture: Lawrence of Arabia

 

[george kaplan]

Someone is going to be pissed

 

[ErikG]

Really, who?

 

[Rob Tomlin]

1963 Best Picture: Lawrence of Arabia

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Rob Tomlin]

Oh wait, it doesn't count!

1963 Best Picture?!

Eric meant to say "Tom Jones"!

Lawrence is still available!

Come on Jan, you're up!

 

[Wes C]

haha

 

[Dome Vongvises]

Jan H is up.

 

[ErikG]

Eric meant to say "Tom Jones"!

Casablanca was my initial choice.

So you can actually blame Steve

 

[Jan H]

Sorry for the delay, folks, busy day.

1993 Best Picture - Schindler's List

 

[Rob Tomlin]

Alright, assuming Erik really did mean to take my beloved LoA despite the fact that it was the Best Picture Winner in 1962, not 1963, I will pick:

Best Director- David Lean for Lawrence of Arabia (1962)

This way I get David Lean and Lawrence of Arabia!

 

[Rob Tomlin]

P.S. I probably would have picked Peter O' Toole for Best Actor if he actually won (like he should have).

 

[ErikG]

Doh! I was looking in the wrong column at IMDB and listed the year it won the award :b

I'll fix my post.

 

[Vickie_M]

2 Best Picture
2 Best Director
2 Best Actor
2 Best Actress
2 Best Cinematography
1 Best Supporting Actor
1 Best Supporting Actress
1 Best Original Score/Song
1 Best Writing - Screenplay (Original/Adaptation)
1 Best Visual Effects/Makeup/Art Direction/Costume Design/Sound/etc.
1 Best Foreign Language Film/Documentary/Short/Animated/etc.

You have 16 Rounds happening. May I suggest making it an even 20?

You could have 2 Writings, one for Adapted and one for Original (there are way too many of each to lump them together).

You could have 1 Visual Effects and then lump Makeup/Art Direction/Costume Design/Sound/etc. (there are so many geeks here that most would go for Visual Effects anyway, thereby shortchanging those other categories.

I think Foreign Language and Documentary should be split, and/or Score/Song should be split.

The last category round could be a Wild Card for anything outside of the "Big 8" (iow, no Pic, Dir, Writer or Actor), or it could be a Wild Card having to do with the show itself, host, venue, Best Dressed, wildest/best Oscar moment, best Lifetime Achievement/Hersholt recipient, whatever.

We're in this for the duration, and it's big already, why not go all out?
