The diligent folks at AwardsPicks.com have come up with a slick Oscar pool system that was just too good to pass up, so I went ahead and started a group for the IC readership and staff. Go register now (which is seriously a painless process) and join our little group, then start making your picks. The pool is called “In Contention Oscar Pool — 2009 Academy Awards Game.”
There is a nifty interface to alter the point values for each category, so based on how predictable a category seems to be at this stage, a value between 1 and 10 has been allotted. All the points add up to 100. No idea what I was doing, but whatever, it should work out. Most points for correctly guessing Best Documentary Short. Least for Best Animated Feature and Best Supporting Actor — duh.

Hey, can you send me an invite to join your pool? My profile is under “rhamer”.
You can sign up directly on the site, actually. It’s a public pool. Go to where it says “Academy Awards game,” click it and make your picks.
Oh, now I see. Thanks.
