It's Oscar Bowling time again. The rules are simple, you pick the winner and assign a confidence score between 1-24 using each value only once (24 being most confident, 1 being Least) which makes a total of 300 points possible. In 2012 I scored 233, in 2013 I upped the ante to 257 and this year, will be the year of the elusive 300.
