Its less than a month away and I have never seen a pool of any sort being created here. I think it would be fun if we get enough people to join.
For now, if you would like to participate just send me a PM or reply in this thread. Participants have until Feb. 21 to join and submit their picks. I will keep track of all submissions and tally up the points after the ceremony is done to determine the winner of THE VERY FIRST A LONELY LIFE OSCAR POOL!!!!
