The votes have been tallied, checked over by representatives
from PRICE-WATERHOUSE, and will now be revealed.  The
second annual "PICK THE OSCARS" contest was a success.
Almost 50 people took a shot at predicting the Academy Award
winners, more than last year.  But out of all those people,
only 1 had ALL categories correct.  As a net, all but 1 category
was chosen by the average entrant, that being director, where
the net chose Ingmar Bergman  by a 1 vote margin.  If you
missed the show last night, or fell asleep during it, the
winners were:

Best Actor - Robet Duvall
Best Actress - Shirley MacLaine
Best Sup Actor - Jack Nicholson
Best Sup Actor - Linda Hunt
Best Director - James Brooks
Best Picture - Terms of Endearment

5 people had 5 out of 6 right.  The runners-up were:

Jeffrey Meyer, Russ Pierce, Pamela McGarvey, Lynelle Schneeberg
and utcsrgv!mendel

AND THE WINNER IS

Terence P O'Coin !!

Congrats, Terence.  The only one of 50 to get `em all right.
Hope you`re around next year for the 3rd ANNUAL contest.
Thanks to everyone who participated!

P.S. How did I do??  Uh, let`s just say I got at least 1, but not
more than 2.  Glad I was not eligible.
