Frequently Asked Questions for future reference, feel free to ask any additional questions that would fit here to be added to the list.
1. Why Don't You Review Actresses?
When I started this endeavor some time ago there were several blogs that covered exclusively female performances, so the whole point was as contrast by covering the then ignored male performances. Now most of those blogs have fallen by the wayside so that contrast no longer really exists. However I have been at this so long with this focus it just is too insurmountable of a task in my mind to try to start from nominations even with Actress and Supporting Actress. Though if there were two of me, I'd be all for it.
2. How does the prediction contest work?
Simply for fun you predict how I will order the final five, however if you win you can request one performance for me to review in the future. If it is a ten lineup, you get two chances and if you get both sets of five correct you get two predictions.
3. Rules on the Prediction Contest?
You may change your predictions after the first review of the lineup of five only. Technically the second review overall when it is a set of ten. I also ask that if you change your prediction in the same post to delete your old prediction if possible.
4. What questions are okay?
Anything film or TV related. I will occasionally touch Music and Books, however I prefer if it is related to a film or TV in some way, if not I'd ask that it be a question where a very simple reply would suffice.
5. Can I change my winning request?
You may change it to a performance from the same year, once.
6. Can I ask ratings/thoughts on any performance?
First I'd ask you to check if I reviewed the performance or given thoughts previously (search "actoroscar.blogspot.com" on google with that given performance, then on the page it gives you use search/control+F to find the performance). Otherwise I won't give thoughts on saved performances from the current year. Saved meaning either they are in contention for a nomination or I might do a full review in the alternate lineup that year.
