        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.
