So, we ended up with 46 entries into our 2025 Oscars Contest, although that number would have been 51 entries, but there were five people who submitted their entries after the posted deadline of Saturday, March 1, at 11:59:59 p.m.
Of those 46 on-time entries, only two people ā Dawn Kidle of Meadow Pointe and John Bailey of Palatine, Illinois ā picked six of the seven Oscars categories correctly. We did have four other contestants who correctly picked the Oscar winner in five of the seven categories, but the amazing thing to me is that not one of our 46 on-time entrants correctly picked Mikey Madison as the Best Actress winner for her starring role in this year’s Oscar-winning film, “Anora” ā as 35 of our 46 contestants picked either Demi Moore for her lead role in “The Substance” or Cynthia Erivo’s portrayal of Elphaba in “Wicked” as their Best Actress winner.
Our Grand Prize winner, drawn at random from among the top two entries, is Dawn Kidle, who will receive a prize package valued at $200, which will include two top-level movie passes, plus dinner for two and popcorn at B&B Theatres at The Grove in Wesley Chapel!
John Bailey will receive two top-level movie passes that will be valid at any of the 54 B&B Theatres locations nationwide.
Congrats to both of our winners!
