The 8th Annual Oscar Contest!


Congratulations, because you are already a winner for logging-on to The Tom-Spot. But, hey! Do you want to be a real winner? Well, here's your chance, because it's the 8th Annual Oscar Contest!

Last year, Julie won the contest, taking home the Oscar Prize Pack (worth literally tens of dollars) and became Tomketeer of the Month for March 2010. Julie has won the contest 4 times, but can she make it 5? Not if you have anything to say about it.

The prizes and scoring are the same this year as last. The winner will receive an Oscar Prize Pack and the distinction of Tomketeer of the Month for March 2011.

To enter, fill out the form below with which films you think will be taking home Oscars this year. You have until February 27th at 6pm to enter. Enter as many times as you like and, but remember that only your most recent entry will be the one that counts. You will receive one point for every correct Oscar winner you select. (The three shorts are not required and are extra credit. If you get them incorrect they will not be counted against you, but if you pick correctly, you will get points added to your score.)

Good luck, and remember: you don't even have to have seen the any of the movies to enter! (Per usual, the form is being really weird, so scroll down a bit to get there.)
