Oscar contest winners picked

Anonymous The Joplin Globe Fri Mar 12, 2010, 11:03 AM CST

Nearly 120 entries were received for the Globe’s 17th annual Academy Awards “Pick the Winners” contest and — as predicted — the expanded Best Picture field made for a bigger challenge this year.

While nearly half of the entries went with James Cameron’s 3D blockbuster “Avatar” for the big win (and most of those selecting him for Best Director), the others were all over the map.

“Up in the Air,” “Precious” and “The Blind Side” were each selected a number of times, possibly more than the actual winner — the Iraq War thriller “The Hurt Locker.”

A total of nine entrants correctly picked the winners in the six top categories, with the three winners determined by date of entry. (Fun fact: Two people sent in their contact information without filling out the ballot. There is no prize for that.)

Julie Vestal took first place and will receive $100; William Bates will receive $50 for second place; and Kay Harlin will get $25 for third place. Each of this year’s winners are from Joplin.

  I have friends who know nothing about computers or the Internet and they like it that way. They seem unaware of the existence of e-books; POD (Print on Demand) is a complete mystery. Personally, I don’t know how they survive in those narrow confines.

• Benji Tunnell: ‘The Artist’ a charming tribute to Hollywood’s start

  There was a time when people liked to be challenged by their entertainment. Television used to be more than bland cookie-cutter sitcoms or police procedurals. Books that challenged the mind would be embraced, films that didn’t fit into the traditional structure would become cultural touchstones. Those days, it seems, are behind us.
