Good thing Timmer didn't do a third season. Box Office round is fucked lads

Do I get Razzie Points :P

Understandable.

Alternatively if we don't get a viable amount of players we could do an office pool style game instead of a Fantasy Football style game. Might be easier to keep track of.

I won't run this again unless we can find a few more active players, it's a lot of work for me for just 3 of us, lol... even Mongoose has never checked in since the draft.

Thanks for putting these last two seasons together man, that was fun. I totally get it if you don't end up running it again.

I really Moneyballed it this season, after losing my first go around I dialed and I'm glad my strateg(ies) paied off.

Good season guys!

That would be a great victory for you if you do win, DH. Good Luck!

Thankie

I believe I lost by 1.

Did.....

Did I win?

I think I take Lead Actress, Foriegn Film, and possibly Screenplay, to finish in 3rd place.

*IF* I can pull Director, that'd be cool. If I can get Best Film and win, that'd be even more cool

It is what it is.

Massive improvement from my shitshow last year. Now just gotta hope I land a decent draft spot. Much harder to get a good grasp of the field for 2020, though I will try closer to draft time and see if I can pull together a strategy

Congratulations on winning the season Mongoose. BRB playing for 3rd place

Also I would earn points for Tom Hanks.

AND THE SHOW IS STARTING IN MERE HOURS!

@Mongoose, @DharmaHelper, @JaggedJimmyJay, @Raz_Zaa

Mongoose (25) - 1917 (9), Once Upon A Time in Hollywood (10), Judy (3), Taron Egerton (1), Laura Dern (1), Awkwafina (1)
JaggedJimmyJay (11) - The Irishman (9), Scarlett Johansson (2)
DH (8) - Parasite (4), Knives Out (1), A Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood (1), Saoirse Ronan (1), Renee Zellwegger (1)
Timmer (22) - Rocketman (4), The Farewell (1), Marriage Story (5), Jojo Rabbit (6), Charlize Theron (1), Leonardo DiCaprio (1), Adam Driver (1), Johnathan Pryce (1), Anthony Hopkins (1), Al Pacino (1)
Raz_Zaa (3) - The Lion King (1), Joaquin Phoenix (1), Tom Hanks (1)

Raz_Zaa needs to find 5 points to move on to the big final round...

(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.))

Since to tie DH, Raz needs 5 more pts and DH needs zero, a tie would actually mean Raz moves on, not DH, since Raz would have more points from wins. So Raz can get 4 more points if Joaquin Phoenix wins best actor, or Tom Hanks best supporting, and 1 pt if Lion King wins its category.

OK I see how it is.

Boom.

It looks like Dunya is gone and Raz doesn't have enough BAFTA nominations to be competitive in the round, so the BAFTAs are just for style points.

Fun fact, if Jay gets caught in a 15 pt 3-Way with Raz and Dunya, Raz wins since he had fewer nominations and a higher BO?

timmer wrote: ↑Sun Jan 26, 2020 3:05 pm prob should have been a double box office trim, but oh well, next time!

I assumed the 1 extra player would've been trimmed in an earlier elimination if they were ever going to be trimmed at all.

In a nail biting twist, if Raz maintains his lead heading into the last couple of guild awards, he will eliminate Dunya and all but be eliminated in the BAFTA rounds, securing the top 4 for an Oscars face off.

Mongoose takes the DGAs! But in a shock, Raz and Ford v. Ferrari pull ahead with a win at CAS!

C'mon Raz, make it through the Guilds baby!

Dare I say it, if Parasite wins the DGA's on the 25th I might have a snowballs chance at the Oscars.

If that's how you've been consistently counting the points, then that's fine with me :P

Yes, that's why I put a 5 next to Renee! If you mean the ensemble category, no, that is worth only 2 for its film, as I don't think any of us were carrying individual actors from Parasite.

If nominations are worth a point each, then Brad Pitt, Joaquin Phoenix and Renee all earned 6 not 5?

Only reason I mention so is because it puts Raz and Dunya in contention against Jay, rather than in last place.

Aren't actor wins worth 5 points?

BIG MOVES

With 16 points and Renee about to pull the SAG points, I think I'm locked in. If the tie holds, that will be an interesting elimination, but I suspect Little Women and Ford V. Ferrari will scoop up some points at the least.

Enough to catch Jay, and deliver yet another stunning upset? One can only hope. If that one is me. And looking to finish in 3rd place.

"Somebody"

timmer wrote: ↑Fri Jan 17, 2020 2:02 pm You definitely paid the most attention this year, both Parasite and Knives Out were fairly late grabs, weren't they? Well done.

Knives Out was a draft pick of mine, I think I got it either 3rd or 4th but I had my eye on it for a while, included it on my spreadsheet pre-draft.

Parasite was a free agent pick I grabbed after some research.

Timmer and Mongoose probably safe. I look like I might be in a bit of trouble, but I'm fortunate in that the films I have are nominated in a wide swath of the Guilds and Renee is all but guaranteed to get me to 20 points and that'll secure my spot I think.

Tied at 10 at the bottom is going to be interesting between Raz and Dunya. I think I barely beat either of them in BAFTAs. If somehow "The Irishman" bombs in the Guilds and one of them (Dunya w/ Little Women or Raz with Ford both have very good chances of getting to or above 15 points) can upset Jay, that clears the way for me.

Feeling good about my chances in the Guilds Round. But I was high on myself last year and got popped, and Chuck was ahead on nominations before he got popped, so anything can happen.

(Although I confess I've been gaming out my chances in the final rounds and my best case scenario was Guilds going first because it means one of the higher tier teams above me between Timmer Jay and Goose have the best shot of being taken out AND the teams below me have the lowest chance of climbing above me.)

I'll gladly take 3rd or even 4th place though given my last performance.

My unofficial number crunching *leads me to think* that the shock elimination of BAFTA darling Joker/Speedchuck opens the door wide enough for me to get through both BAFTA and the Guilds rounds.

That said even if I make it to Oscars, Mongoose is stacked and will probably sweep.

I feel alright about this tbh

YOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO JOKER GOT CLIPPED LMAO

(That being said GG Chuck)

Looks like I need a miracle to get out of the BAFTAs.

Good luck tomorrow, ya scrubs.

Yeah I wouldn't advocate changing the rules now, but I meant for next time.

Yeah pretty much. Though last year MP had "Best Animated Feature" and he got 1 point for it as opposed to the 10 points Green Book got. Just seems like if the category is "Best X" it should be worth more points.

Not to be that guy but I think the scoring would be more competitive if the best picture rules encapsulated Best "X" Film categories as well. As is, its a 10 to 1 difference that makes it hard to compete.

I got a feeling ya boi ain't gonna even make it to R5 anyway. No rush.

[mention]timmer[/mention] is there a list of Guilds that count towards R5?

Round 3 gonna be nuts.
GG Sabie and Nova!

Just going off last year I don't think Mongoose has this thing in the bag just yet. Globes performance for me last year was decent, and I got burned in the later rounds.

As long as I didn't have a bad night.

Good luck tonight.
