Well I hope everyone enjoyed the Oscar ceremony (I was on a plane so didn't get to watch it).

I'll give everyone a day or two to clean up their lists then I'll use a random number generator to dole out the prizes.

I hope everyone enjoyed this challenge and accomplished their goals. When you're done here, you can head on over the Action/Adventure Challenge!

Finished with the decent, but ultimately sorta boring Oscar ceremony. Finished my checklist, had a decent amount of Action Challenge crossover, much success!

I finished my checklist as the red carpet got hot and the majority of my Oscar predictions were right, with the exception of Best Picture (Shape won but I thought Three Billboards would've), Original Screenplay, and Original Song. The latter two winners were the ones I actually wanted to win but I though Three Billboards... and The Greatest Showman respectively would've won.

Always a fun challenge. Now to catch up on some shows and finally watching this Criterion version of Night of the Living Dead!

I started to watch the ceremony last night, but was tired, so slept through most of it. Didn’t watch much, but did enjoy what I watched. Might watch some oscar nominated films this month on the AA Challenge.

Had a nice time at an Oscar party. Gorged myself on Reese's Pieces and pretzels. For the second year in a row, my favorite film of the year was selected as Best Picture. I've noticed that the critical backlash against The Shape of Water's win started approximately fifteen minutes after the ceremony (.15 seconds if you count people on Twitter).

I was pretty happy to see Blade Runner 2049 get a couple of awards. Glad the love was spread around and both Get Out and Call Me By Your Name got statuettes. I think the former film is one of the most convincing arguments for a new award for Best Ensemble. Overall, the ceremony was a fun time - especially with champagne punch!

Thanks lisadoris, but I'm in Canada. I've PM'd Mao that he may want to pick a different winner.
