Alas, format did not do Oscar proud
(Yahoo! News): Loud, snide and dismissive, he wasn’t just a disappointment; he ranks up there with the worst hosts ever - particularly when you factor in the expectations. When the show ran a salute to Johnny Carson (news)’s years as host, the comparison was so painful, it made you think the academy would have been better off just letting a computer-generated Carson host again.
Chris Rock may have washed out at the Oscar’s, but according to our Computerized Oscar Pool Winner And Tip Calculation Oracle (COPWATCO), I won the Oscar pool! Being the good sport that I am, though, I’ll still award a prize to second place, which will be announced as soon at COPWATCO wakes up and figures out computes who that is.

Jack,
Congrats on winning the Oscar pool! Think you should award yourself something special.
Thanks for making it fun - I was surprised Chris Rock was as bad as he was. Don’t think he’ll be invited back.

Is there a prize for the least correct selections (not that I would be awarded that prize)?

Dear Contestant,
As in life, the prize for “the least correct selections” is the simple satisfaction that you tried your best.
Regards,
