Oscar Race 2013-14

Welcome to the Oscar Race!

After each predictions I post, I will be adding points to the leaderboard. A contender that gets to be No. 1 on the preds will get 5 points to the leaderboard. Second place gives 4 points, 3rd place - 3 points, 4th place - 2 points and 5th place - 1 point. The best picture category is a different thing. Since there are up to 10 nominees, we will start at 10 points and go down to 1 (i often put up only 9 films, but that doesn't make any difference).
Also next to the contenders' name I will write the number of times that it was on the top of the category's prediction.

Additionally I will award each contender 3 points for winning a Golden Globe or a Critics' Choice Award (In the Critics Choice - I do not include the "Comedy" categories as they are  additional ones. E.G. Amy Adams could have also competed in the Best Actress race), and 5 points to those who take away he SAG award (Esemble victory rewards best picture with 3 points). The same with the DGA, PGA and all the real awards. The point distribution is this way because the Globes create momentum but their voting membership does NOT overlap with the Academy whereas the Guilds do - majorly. Then the BAFTA award winners also are rewarded with 5 points. In the writers' race, the WGA gives 5 points, however the Scripter Awards (USC) give 3 points, as they create less momentum.
