Oscar!

Do you love movies? Do you love winning money? What would you do if I said there was a way to do both those things at the same time and have fun???

Difficulty: Easy
Instructions

Things You'll Need:

  • Friends
  • Movies to watch
  • Internet
  • An Oscar pool
  1. Step 1
    Movie ticket
    Movie ticket

    If you really want to win an Oscar pool, then the first step is to remember that the Academy has around 6,000 members in it, that all watch the same movies and you may not always agree with them. Just have fun with it!

  2. Step 2
    Movie
    Movie

    More than likely the movie that has the most nominations will win the best picture Oscar. To make it easy, just go with that movie for best picture. But don't pick that movie to win every Oscar it is nominated for!!!

  3. Step 3
    Oscar
    Oscar

    If there is an someone nominated for best actor or supporting actor who played the role in the movie of someone with an illness or disability, pick that person to win the Oscar!!!

  4. Step 4
    Movie Theater
    Movie Theater

    If there is an actress who had to "dumb down" her looks for a part in the movie, pick her to win the Oscar! The voters tend to reward the ladies who don't look their best in that movie.

  5. Step 5

    If an actor has been nominated for an Oscar a few times but has not won one, this may be their chance! The academy has been known to give well known older actors Oscars, mainly because of their overall acting work.

  6. Step 6

    For best screen play go with a movie that isn't to out there crazy but do not go with something that is to normal, pick something that would appeal to everyone!!!

Tips & Warnings
  • When it comes to documentaries, pick the one that has grossed the most money!
  • When it comes to artist and costume design, go with a period piece, even more so if it is based on a book or play.
  • You can always cheat alittle by going on the internet & looking what other people are saying about the movies!
  • If you do win, don't show off to much. If you do, your friends may not want to do an Oscar pool next year.
