The Stars Were Out Last Night!

What a star-studded night it was last night! I mean...it's the Oscars and they're always star-studded but you know what I'm saying. Steve Martin and Alec Baldwin did what they do best last night and that is 'be funny'.

Kathryn Bigelow won Best Director, the first time a female director has ever done so. Every major acting category saw a first time winner; Jeff Bridges, Sandra Bullock, Christoph Waltz & Mo'Nique all won Oscars for the first time, the latter 3 of whom had been nominated for the first time.

Alright, you guys want me to get to how you guys did in predicting all these awards. Well, Swag Nation...you nailed 6 out of 10, which given the unpredictability of the Academy at times isn't too bad.

You correctly predicted:

Actor in a Leading Role - Jeff Bridges, Crazy Heart
Actress in a Leading Role - Sandra Bullock, The Blind Side
Actress in a Supporting Role - Mo'Nique, Precious
Cinematography - Mauro Fiore, Avatar
Best Adapted Screenplay - Geoffrey Fletcher, Precious
Best Animated Film - Up

The 4 you missed...

you predicted that

Avatar would win Best Picture. Winner: The Hurt Locker
James Cameron would win Best Director. Winner: Kathryn Bigelow, The Hurt Locker
Matt Damon would win Best Actor in a Supporting Role. Winner: Christoph Waltz, Inglourious Basterds
Up would win Best Original Screenplay. Winner: Mark Boal, The Hurt Locker

If you recall, for every correct prediction, 3 Swag Bucks would be added to the Swag Code.

6 x 3 = 18

Enter on Swagbucks before 5:00PM PST for 18 Swag Bucks!

Congratulations, Swaggernauts!

I had trouble getting swagbucks.com to load and when I entered the code (copy/pasted), it says it's not valid. It's just barely 6 pm EST, not even close to 5 pm PST - why isn't it working?

Thanks TSG!
Just wanted to make sure I got the SwagBucks. After I entered the code and the page refreshed, my total SB's hadn't changed. *shrug*

Thanks swagbucks. I saw the Oscar's and I was a bit surprised at Sandra bollocks win because she was up against really steep competition dont get me wrong I like Sandra Bullock, but I think the other 3 actress were a bit more deserving just my opinion, but oh well good for her anyway right, she still did a good job.

Oh and James Cameron should have won best director.

I cannot see any code. It just says, "Enter on an Swagbucks..."

jah said...

People who didn't KNOW christopher was going to win the supporting actor are dumb...also anyone who thought avatar would win..is on crack..it was more like the most overhyped movie of the year

I knew that if things in the world were just the hurt locker would win best picture..and it did. :)

that's lame. i was suppose to get code but it expired at 5p.m. i hate these limited swagcodes. it should have been a little longer. today was the only day i actually wanted to stay at school instead of come home. anyway, was surprised of the award results.

GRRRR!!!

I checked for this all day, and it was posted AND ended during dinner time!!! Unfortunately, I missed it.

It's frustrating to miss these d/t time differences, as it seems most of the codes tend to show up in the evening for this time zone.

-sigh-

Thanks TSG! Just won 18 swagbucks! :)

the code never showed on mine.Tried everything refreshing,page,toolbar etc. no luck my lost.

Tara Beaulieu said...

This stinks. I voted and was waiting for this blog post to see the results. I subscribe your blog and it just came into my email now at 9:44 pm ET. The code is already expired. Why is it taking so long for these blog posts to get emailed? The codes are ALWAYS expired before I read the posts!

Anonymous said...

Thanks again swag people for giving the rest of us swaggers time to get the code. I beginning to dislike swagging.

Tiffany said...

This would have been really great if I didn't have to work 3 to 11 monday night.

I am so sick of these stupid short time limits on swag codes. It's bad enough that the majority of the codes are hidden in obscure places, but even when they're not they're only good for a couple hours. I participated in the polls, therefore I should be able to use the freakin' swag code I helped earn. In the future, please make these codes good for the entire day like you used to. Thank you.

I loved the Academy awards. Although I loved Avatar, I knew it wouldn't win and some random movie would. I guessed 11 right when I did my own ballot.
