The past couple of years Yahoo provided a free online Oscar pool, but I don't see one listed now (I may be jumping the gun a bit). Does anyone know if they are planning on doing it again this year? Also, does anyone know of any other sites that provide one? Thanks.

I recall doing the Yahoo Pick'Em in the DVDTalk league last year. Hopefully they'll have one for this year as well.

We at DVDTalk should form some sort of pool.

Definitely.

I'm in, should we pick for who we want to win or who we think should win?
Also, for the dvdtalk chat, is that for the pregame only or does that go all the way.

im in, let me know

If we had to choose just one, it should be who we think WILL win. But if not, we can do them separately.

For any one interested (and to answer my own question), Yahoo's online Oscar pool is now up.

Yahoo Oscar Pool

anyone gonna set up a DVDTalk private group?

I set up a group for us.

Group #: 468

Password: dvdtalk

i've never done the league, where is it???

Joined the group.

I joined the group. Why does Makeup have only two nominees? Disney should have done "For Your Consideration" on The Santa Clause 2 for that.

I joined and made my first attempt at picks.

how do you join????

I can't join, password doesn't work.

How to join:

Click here: http://moviegames.yahoo.com/

Click the link that says: "Join a Private Group"

Enter group id #: 468

Enter password: dvdtalk (this may be case-sensitive)

If you don't already have a Yahoo ID, you'll need to create one to participate.

thank you! headed over now...

I tried that and I get "Not correct password. Please try again."

I'm in, as I'd like to thank the Academy.

finally got thru, something was up with their site. kept showing errors

I changed the password to "dvdtalk" to make things easier. Try that if the old password wasn't working for you.

Just posted my picks to the group. I just guess on a lot of these since it's always hard to predict the academy voters tastes from one year to the next. Some of my votes are based on how I think the academy will reward old actors like Paul Newman instead of giving the award to Chris Cooper. Or like giving Nicole Kidman an Oscar because she didn't win last year.

You are my hero. I'm in! Now how does this work overall.

I'm in too as mackzoo.
