We had 74 entries in the U-Hall Oscarfest Prediction Contest.
Three entries had nine correct answers, including Best Picture.
Two of these three had are tied for first, with identical ballots, erring only on Best Foreign Language Film. Each of them will receive a $100 gift card.
The third place ballot missed Danny Boyle as Best Director but was one of only two ballots to pick Departures (from Japan) as the Best Foreign Language film. So we’re upgrading this third-place prize from $25 to $50 in recognition of that feat!
Here are the winners:
FIRST PLACE: J-C Record and Katie Rende.
THIRD PLACE: Avinash Nagaraja
CONGRATULATIONS!
The Oscarfest was sponsored by U-Hall’s Faculty Fellows-in-Residence.
