Everyone in the Top 7, except Jen Persaud, picked Martin Scorcese to win Best Director. Jen picked Taylor Hackford. Jackie Domainque is the highest-ranked contestant who picked Clint Eastwood, so she’ll gain ground if he wins — but only as far as second place. She’d still be five points behind Vicki, and then it would come down to Million Dollar Baby (which Jackie picked) vs. The Aviator (which Vicki picked).

Here are the currrent Top Eight:

1. Vicki from NJ 44
2. Jen Persaud 38
3. Chris Aemisegger 37
4. Kate Morran 36
4. Chris “Doc” Evans 36
6. Evan Sparks 35
7. Brendan Loy 34
8. Jackie Domaingue 32

More than half of the awards (13 of 24) have been given out. But only 26 of the 80 pool points have been awarded, because most of the “major” categories are still ahead.

Vicki from New Jersey still leads with 22 of a possible 26 points. Evan Sparks (whoever he is!) and I are tied for second with 17 points. Kate Spitz, who is here at the apartment watching the awards with me, Becky, Dmytro and Lisa, is fourth with 16 points.
