2009 Robot Panic Oscar Pool
After a year of great films, the 2009 Academy Awards are almost here. To celebrate, we here at Robot Panic will be holding an Oscar Pool. All you have to do is fill out your entry form, (more about that below) send it in before noon CST this Sunday, and join us on our uStream page on Sunday night as we live chat the awards!
Now, on to how you enter. We’ll be scoring this a little differently than normal. For each category, you will make two picks, rather than the usual one. The first will be the film that you predict will win the award. If you get that right, you will receive two points. The second pick will be the film that you want to win the award. If you get that right, then you will get one point. For example, let’s say I want Kung Fu Panda to win for best animated film, but I predict that Wall-E will win. Here is what that will look like on my ballot:
Best Animated Film:
1.) Wall-E
2.) Kung Fu Panda
Remember, the first pick will be the prediction, and your second will be the pick you want to win. If it helps, you may put a (p) next to your prediction and a (w) next to the one you want to win. So here’s all you have to do:
1. – Copy the below ballot into Word or your word processor/email client of choice.
2. – Go here for a list of all the nominees.
3. – Fill in each spot on the ballot with your choices for that category.
4. – Send your entry to mailbag@drunkengamersradio.com with the subject “Robot Panic Oscar Ballot: (Your name here)” before noon CST on Sunday.
5. – Join us at 7:00 CST on Sunday at the uStream page (located here) to live chat the awards and see how you’re doing!
Now snag the ballot after the break and get to it!

So if expect and want are the same thing you just put them twice, correct?
February 18th, 2009 at 1:23 pm
That was my question as well.
February 18th, 2009 at 1:58 pm
That’s what I did.

Yes, that’s what you do. Sorry, I should have been clearer on that, but yes.
