...Wendy, for best performance in my Oscar pool. Out of 21 major categories, she missed only 3, nailing all 8 major categories and one of the three short categories, scoring 37 in my modified scoring system, which assigns 2 pts per feature length film category and 1 pt each for the three shorts categories. A dominating performance. She e-mailed me just the day before to note that she always won her Oscar pool, and then her entry was the last to show up in my pool and the last one standing. She was like Babe Ruth pointing out to center field before the home run. Please step up here and post your acceptance speech, Wendy. Unlike the Academy, we won't put a time limit on you, nor will we play distracting music while you type. We want to learn your secrets.
Of the folks who attached an entry fee to their ballots, though, yours truly eeked out a win by 2 pts over Eleanor, 30 - 28. I thought about sending you the moolah, Wendy, but as you know, it's hard out here for a pimp.
