The rules are simple. Pick your top 5 or 10 contenders for the main 6 categories of the Oscars. Money may be placed in this game. Points will be determined by the seed you picked. For example I pick Precious for my Best Pic Nom and it gets nominated I get 1 point. I pick Coraline and it gets nominated I get 25 points. You also don’t have to pick from the seed list you can pick something else and if it does get nominated you receive as much points as the final seed of that category. Any ties will result in splitting the winnings.
