JJJ 11
Timmer 28
Dunya 11
DH 19
Golden 8
Ricochet 8

Added CDG points.

Man I'm so set if I get past round 3

I’m in trouble in round four. I somehow need jay and dunya to go out in round 3 and try to stay ahead of Rico...

Pretty happy with my performance even if I bow out here though. I do think anyone who plays again should get to keep one actor/actress from their current roster.

My film site has that very rule, actually! But if you do keep one, it takes out your first round actor pick, so you have to be sure.

remember when i was gonna get green book?

yeah guys. i remember. it's bittersweet and harshhhhh.

well, if i finish in 3rd place this year i'll be super happy losing to the beast timmer and little mastermind DH tbh. very respectable. let's pray.

I just need a couple of wins it looks like. R4 is much less razor thin.

It's tight between 3rd 4th and 5th and 6th. Could be anyone's gane tbh depending on what wins

Come on Richard!

I dunno I *think* I got enough points?

I'll double check in the morning but I've got:

Timmer - 53
Dunya - 29
Ricochet - 27
JJJ - 20
Golden- 20
DH 17

So DH I'm sorry you are out, and I'll check the tiebreak rules in a bit.

Aw geez.

Out before Rico that should be illegal.

Well good luck for second place, guys. Next season ya boi is coming back swinging.

Here are the tiebreak rules.

In the case of a tie during any round, a winner must be determined between the tying studios. To settle this, the points each studio acquired in nominations will be removed. That means which ever studio earned the most points based solely on wins will advance. If this process does not determine a winner then a hierarchy of wins will be established, where a studio with the rights to the winning film in this succession of categories will move on: Best Film, Best Director, Best Screenplay (Original then Adapted), Best Lead Actress then Actor, Best Supporting Actress then Actor, Animated, Foreign, Documentary, Score, Cinematography, Editing, Song, Production Design, Costumes, Makeup, Sound Editing, Sound Mixing. (Note that the hierarchy is for film rights, not actor rights.)

Golden earned 8 points from wins today, JJJ only 5, so Golden moves on (thanks to that Gaga/Close tie!)

Current points in round 5 (but first bafta)

Timmer 28
JJJ 11
Dunya 11
Golden 8
Ricochet 8

Not even kidding I'm rage-drafting for the '19-20 season right now.

Lol... it's only 3 months away!

Lmao what's the BO start Date? April 1st again? (RIP Marvel monies)

son of a bitch RIP

I beat DH and to be honest there is a kind of sweet joy in that but I don’t even know why because I am also sad for DH. I really thought you had second tied up man!

And advancing because I had both people in a tie was my strategy all along, just saying.

Hey timmer, did we cut the baftas round somewhere along the way?

I thought I had it too. Next season tho... wooo

This season I pretty much winged it. Now I'm putting together a spreadsheet, a draft plan, a draft strategy, maybe even ranking picks. Coming through IMDB pages, looking for bullshit indie movies that'll dick me over... the whole nine.

I say that, and then I end up w/ a garbage draft slot and all my fuckin picks get yoinked.

Golden wrote: ↑Mon Jan 14, 2019 9:08 pm Hey timmer, did we cut the baftas round somewhere along the way?

Yeah we just didn't have enough players to warrant that many rounds. And the critics choice and baftas tend to be similar so it made sense to drop one.

I guess I could have put that to a vote? Do you guys want the baftas back in?

You know, in hindsight I should have stuck with the original schedule. So round 4 is now baftas, round 5 the guilds. JJJ is back in! I'll work out baftas nomination points tomorrow.
