spence Posted February 24, 2019 Share Posted February 24, 2019 (edited) Yes, I've posted these a few times, even in an official poll, but not one single fellow TCM-ITE even bothered to throw in their two cents??? Frankly I was stunned, because since I've been on these the mt summit of movie websites, at least a couple gave their viewpoints? (VERY DISAPOINTING SPORTS FANS) Last year I hit (20 for 24 correct) With a batting avg 84% Possibly my most accurate score in 36yrs doing this, not quite certain as yet?

spence Posted February 26, 2019 Author Share Posted February 26, 2019 Certainly wish others had joined-in, this constantly goes on every single year since I was first on the marvelous tcm forums around 2000 as I said a few times it was neat when Robert 0sborne not only would predict-(on tv) but compiled something he called "THE OSBOs" like "Alternate Oscars" but his votes had to have been officially nomi9nsted that year, unlike that Danny Peary book-(desperate need of a revision!!!) For any interested I still have his "OSBO'S" in my files, just 1 page. Then for some reason he stopped them & predicting on tv the winners & sad to say for a guy that wrote the OSCAR BIBLE, he was not very good at the predix game for some reason? he did them 2 to 3yrs is all THANK YOU Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
