Now for the big news: I'm altering how I determine the winning actor/actress from here on out. At least, I'm modifying it. This is because as the tournament winds down, fewer and fewer votes determine a winner. So look for an email from me to you and only you. In it I will ask you to choose the best actor/actress from the remaining pairings. That way more people will determine which actor/actress moves on. Caveat: You won't be asked about a match-up if you currently have a chance to win that match-up, i.e., if you correctly picked Brando and Hoffman last round, and have chosen Brando to move on, you've already cast your vote. Even if you picked Brando vs. Penn and picked Brando to win, you've already cast your vote. If, however, you've picked Penn to win that match-up (something that cannot happen), I'll ask you to pick between Brando and Hoffman.
Yes, that all sounded much more confusing than it really is. Just answer the email I send you and trust me.

I've gained two places.
I hope I haven't waited too long to start my sprint.
Am I correct in inferring that the Nancy who is now TRAILING me by 3 points, is the same "N" who gloated that she had passed PJ?
If I'm not correct, I apologize. If I am correct ...
NYA NYA NYA NYA NYA NYAAAAA.
I was counting on you having consumed mass quantities of Cackbread and not notice any of this.
Yo, Jeff, I totally get yer new scoring thingermajig. Howzabout that, hmm?
I get it. I don't know that it's really necessary, but I get it.
and LOL PJ!
If Daniel Day-Lewis wins this thing There WILL Be Blood!
So people who got it wrong can have another shot? Where's the justice?
No, Grapes. They're not getting another shot. They're just helping to determine the winner of the match-up. If I asked you to choose a winner of a particular match-up, it means you can't get any points for it -- you chose someone else.
I just got your e-mail, and (hopefully not giving too much away) I gotta ask - am I getting the opportunity to vote against my original pick because there is a different opponent? Are you recalibrating it this way to bring in a full 30 votes for each remaining contest?
I suppose that under the same secret ballot principle this could swing either way to help/hurt my final result. But frankly it seems like you've created a lot more work for yourself for a questionable amount of improvement to the contest.
Don't take me as too curmudgeonly, I'm just putting this out there for discussion purposes.
Hey peeps. I replied to O'Tim in an email, but basically if I asked you to pick a winner of a match (or matches), it was because you'd picked a winner who had already been beaten in an earlier round. In other words, you've already lost that match. You're just participating in determining which of the two actors/actresses will move on for those who still have a chance at winning that match.
We're comin' up, Nat ;)
Yep, we sure are! Go us!
"You're just participating in determining which of the two actors/actresses will move on for those who still have a chance at winning that match."
So basically what you're saying is, your mother has absolutely no chance at being elected Film Freaks Queen (FFQ).
Well shucks. Just shucks.
Just...barely...holding...on...
