Oscar Pool Ballot

Having an Oscar party this weekend?

Want to liven things up with a pool?

If so, use this ballot I created for my Oscar party. It allows you to predict the winner of every single category, and is based on the oscar.com printable ballot -- but on my ballot, each category has a different point value. The highest valued category is "Best Picture," while the mainstream films' categories are valued at two points. The non-mainstream categories (like the documentary and short film categories) are valued at one point.

This way, in a tight race for the winner, the winner most likely would not be determined by the non-mainstream films (i.e., blind guesses).

Oh, and don't forget to root for "Transformers" on Sunday night!


And if you're wondering why Tom Cruise is on my ballot... it's because he's so cool.
