All By Myself

I don't know if this was the last Annual Academy Award Guessing Games®, but it might be. 

Blobby got stood up, but good. 

Take a look at the text chain. 

At least I got a warning I was going to get stood up. I suppose that's something? 

I just suppose the magic is gone with Mike and me. I can see no other reason. 

Sure sure.....he and his husband are "on vacation", but still. He knew about this. He always knows about this. 

I'm just ever so slowly getting the brush off. I suppose the friendship ran its course. 

On the plus side, I only had to win one category to prevail. As it would turn out, I should not watch all the movies more of the time if we are to continue this contest. I only lost 6 of the 24 categories. 7 if you count there was a tie for Best Short Action Film (clearly I guessed neither). 

All I get are bragging rights. 

I hold out hopes for Mike and myself. At least he texted to make fun of Barbara Streisand's appearance at the show. He was right to do so. 

That said, we watched very little. I'd only turn up the volume when Conan was on. 

Anyhoo......from the accounting firm of Dewey, Cheatam & Howe, I give to you the results.
