I come on the Message Board daily to see what everyone is chatting about and so forth. I want to address something. In regards to the predictions, everything at this point is a guessing game. No one can write on this board or anywhere and say "something is definitely going to happen" or "it will be the most nominated film of the year" if the films haven't even come out or been screened by any critics.
I apologize that you don't agree with my predictions and that they are not satisfying to you but at this point, we're all having fun with them. Looking out for surprises, buzz, or whatever else may happen.
If you believe me to be so bad at predictions maybe you should pay a visit to the ARCHIVE and check the final predictions from last year, both nominations and winners. I'm not saying I had the best track record of any site out there but I feel it was decent enough to call myself an Oscar predictor.
Exactly what do you disagree with so highly with the site that Johnny did so differently? Not saying Johnny wasn't good but he was my mentor for the entire first year of myself becoming editor so I'm molded much to his liking along with my own personal strengths and ideas.
I feel people become so hostile on the Message Board but there is no solid justification for someone's way of thinking other than "I just didn't put what they wanted."
I would like a more relaxed, friendly, and chill atmosphere on the Message Boards. Is that possible? I value all of your opinions and if you state them in a more positive manner, you will receive more of a warm reaction and feedback.
Are there any ideas or requests that some readers feel we are not meeting? Please let us know here or write me personally @ claytondavis@awardscircuit.com
