Featured: SSR’s Second Annual Oscar Prediction Contest!

Matt, from the awesome Silver Screen Riot, is hosting his 2nd Annual Oscar Prediction Contest! It’s very easy to enter and you could win some very awesome Blu-rays while having a ton of fun! So how does the contest work? Well that’s very easy to answer.

If you want to enter, go to Matt’s website and post in the comments on his OSCAR PREDICTIONS POST HERE.

The glorious winner will get a DVD/Blu-Ray of the film that wins Best Picture. Second place will receive a DVD/Blu-ray of one of last year’s Best Picture nominees (select options).

The Rules

– You must submit your predictions by Friday, February 28rd at Midnight.
– Only one submission per person.
– Only submissions placed via page comment (at the bottom of this page) will count. Do not post on the Silver Screen Riot Facebook wall or send me an email or message. Your predictions are only valid if they’re in the right spot.
– Vote for every category in order to win. While it’s all well and good to only care about the primary battlefields, if you only submit predictions for Best Performers and Pic/Director, you’ll miss out on all the other categories and will have a small shot at winning.
– The shorts DO NOT count towards your final tally and will only be accounted for in the case of a tie-breaker. So while it might not matter in the end, if it comes down to a tie, the person with the most wins in shorts will take home gold.
– In case of a super-way tie (after shorts), the person who predicted first will win, so get your submissions in early.
– Please be sure to follow us on Twitter and Facebook (at least one of the two) in order to be eligible to win.

The Prizes

First place will win a DVD/Blu-Ray of the film that wins Best Picture
Second place will receive a DVD/Blu-ray of their choice from last year’s Best Picture nominees (select options)
