Oscar Winners

Glad to see Rourke won

I highly doubt this is real. For one, I'm not sure if the President of the Oscars knows the winner. I'm pretty sure the only people that know are the accounting firm that counts the ballots. Second, there is no reason this letter would exist. The officers would have no reason to learn the winners in advance. Also, I would think if this letter was real it would not have a generic greeting and would refer to the addressee so if it was leaked they'd know who leaked it.

Printed it...just in case it disappears

True, but it actually looks like a legit list..........

AintNoSin · 02-19-2009, 09:53 PM

Don't we get this rumor every year?

Darkhawk9587 · 02-19-2009, 11:02 PM

I highly doubt this is for real, but if it is, so be it. Can't really complain about the choices.

pacificvibes · 02-19-2009, 11:04 PM

I guess we will have to wait and see...

I'm going to place some bets....just kidding

dvd_mazter · 02-19-2009, 11:06 PM

If this is real.... I am so happy that Heath won. He completely deserves it and what a way to remember him.

Congrats to Rourke as well, he was magnificent in The Wrestler.

mikejet · 02-19-2009, 11:10 PM

That's some crappy letterhead and paper if it were real.

EricJ · 02-19-2009, 11:12 PM

Oh, lord, not THIS bit again--

I thought I was the only one who remembered it from ten years ago.

(Although that's also said ruefully, considering it was the blowup over AICN's big-fat-fraud "Price-Waterhouse voting results leaked" scoop in 1998--that predicted a Picture-Director-Actor sweep for "Being John Malkovich"

--that lost Harry Knowles his job as possible Gene Siskel replacement opposite Roger Ebert--
Can't remember who was responsible for that fan-w*nk stunt, but thanks loads, dude, you indirectly stuck us with with Richard Roeper for TEN YEARS....

For those who go to the bathroom during the Reciting of the Rules--
The "President of the Oscars" (sic - so, is he sort of like the Chairman of the Academy?

)
A) doesn't know,
B) has no reason whatsoever to mail letters to officers in letter form, since
C) the results are known solely to the voting-tally accountants at Price-Waterhouse, which, if you've ever wondered, is why said results are in sealed envelopes.

Try not to take a bathroom break when they ritually introduce the representative P/W accountant-dweebs during the ceremony THIS year, either.

Cool. Now I don't have to watch the Academy Awards show! I will pop in a BD instead!

Now that I have this inside info maybe I should start an Oscar Pool and clean up!

I saved the image file to my desktop so I can check it off after the awards are posted on the web.

Thanks for the advance winners list.

Guys, there is no chance this is the real deal. A letter or note like this would not even exist. It is a fake designed by someone trying to convince people of the Oscar winners. It wouldn't surprise me if it was created by someone trying to change the odds (yes there are sick people that actually bet on this stuff) to make a little money off gambling.

Not necessarily. It could be legit.
