Rackham Confrontation Oscars Contest

Why not ?

Here's my idea...

*********************************************************

Choose the winner in each of the following categories:

- Best Picture
- Best Director
- Best Actor
- Best Actress
- Best Supporting Actor
- Best Supporting Actress
- Best Foreign Language Film
- Best Animated Film
- Best Documentary ( Feature Length )
- Best Visual Effects ( Have to include this one.....)

That's 10 categories. One point for each correct answer. Highest point total wins.

Reference info here: http://www.imdb.com/oscars/nominations/

***********************************************************************

First Prize: Choose 1 of 6 Box Sets ( NIB ) from 3 Classic Rackham and 3 Games Workshop

Second Prize: Choose 1 of 6 Classic Rackham / Reaper Blisters ( NIB )

Third Prize(s): One Random Miniature + 5 Empty "Vallejo Style" Dropper Bottles

***********************************************************************
