Not only did we tie, but we also tied on the tie-breakers.

We actually have a 5 way tie!

Mr. Cinema, Chad, utopianz14, rblreed and DJLinus all had 20 out of 24.

No one picked the correct Doc Short, and all picked the correct Live Action Short.

The only way I can think of to break this tie would be to give it to the person who posted their picks first.

That would be Mr. Cinema, who may have actually won this 2 years ago as well!

Congratulations, Mr. Cinema!

I used the same ballot for 3 pools: this one, a friend's, and my own. I tied for first here, tied for second in my pool, and won my friend's (which resulted in her making a mix CD for me).

The only way I can think of to break this tie is a fight to the death.

oops, looks like I misread the tie-breakers.

A five-way tie is pretty incredible, considering all the combinations that are possible. Maybe next year, there should be more tie-breakers, but Mao's tie-breaking solution sounds fair. Short of a fight to the death, of course.

Congrats, Mr. Cinema!
