Predict the Oscars 2012

Predict the Oscars 2012 Welcome to the 2012 edition of Predict the Oscars! You can earn points for correctly predicting who will take home each of this year's Academy Awards. After the ceremony ends on February 26th, the player with the most points will win a prize. Available prizes include:

• the DVD or Blu-Ray of any 2011 film (special edition if available)
• the official poster of any 2011 film
• the CD or MP3 soundtracks of any two 2011 films
• a $25 gift card to Amazon

The player with the highest score will receive one prize of his or her choice from the list above. If multiple players tie for the top score, they will each receive a prize, up to a maximum of three. If more than three players tie for the top score, three of them will be selected at random to receive prizes. As always, Funeratic owner Scott Hardie has entered the contest for fun, but he cannot win.

Players can edit their predictions until 8pm est on February 26th. (Please allow up to 15 minutes for the difference between your clock and the server clock.) Scores will be tabulated after the show, and the winner will be announced on this page afterwards.

A free account on Funeratic is required to play. Please login or register to enter the contest.

Oscar nominees and player predictions appear below. (View scores from previous years.)
