          I only saw The Grand Budapest Hotel from the best picture category. It was a very good movie, and I like the style of the director, but I'd never vote for best picture. The best movie I saw in 2014 was Gone Girl and, I question why, it isn't in this category, as well as in others.

            I can see that!  :funny2:
            You can actually change your vote, but I already reset the poll, so you can vote again. 😉

            The Grand Budapest Hotel is a good movie. I like Gone Girl too, I love the story, I think it will win the for Adapted Screenplay. Tho, its sad, Gone Girl has been snubbed by Oscar for Best Picture this year.

              I think my poll vote was for what I would maybe like to see win?

              My official ballot selections are of course what will win, I predict 93% percent of my predictions will be proven accurate, my being a pisces I should almost certainly be excluded from this contest but as there were no rules against using my psychic abilities I did.  Just call me Jeane Dixon.

              Honestly, I don't have a horse in the race because as I have said elsewhere and over and over, 2014 was all about television.  With 2015 looking to continue that trend!

              I only saw 2 movies in a theatre in 2014 and one of those was Gone With The Wind.  This from a lover of cinema.

                          When I saw the bonus on the Oscar torrent last night I remember vaguely thinking "Hey I bet this is a sign I win that Oscar poll" and have had a certain bee in my bonnet all day (not to mention this is the day I sip bacardi cause it's my b day).  Now however sad face cause I came in freaking last and I have been outed as the Oscar torrent uploader.  Giggle.

                                Thanks.  i don't mind 44, so far.  I never liked 36 because somehow I forgot and thought I was 37, so really it wasn't not liked but not experienced, I got a case of the rambles….it happens as I get older.

                                Anywho, it may disappoint you to know, that despite clearly losing the Oscar poll & than having my instinct pulled out from under me with the Oscar torrent bit, tomorrow I will be announcing the fact that I won this Oscar poll & adding that I knew I would by that little bit of Oscar torrent forshadowing with the Wednesday night crew (whose Oscar party I always avoid since making a bit of scene during my arrival & then quick departure once a decade or so ago).  I know it's sad really but as they are not online they can't verify the veracity of my claim & bah ha ha you won, you can't have that cake & eat it as well, it's my birthday and I can, wait , what time is it?  Right, I have to go home to daddy, bring him the money, nighty night.

                                    OK, you win…but you didn't thank your mother, your agent, the producer, the writers... where are your manners. And you have 30 seconds to tell us  ;D
