WWTBAM-Animation Edition Episode 13: Zora Catone (Round 2)
Here we have Zora Catone back again for his second chance at winning the million! Watch to see how well he did! (I also apologize for the technical difficulties that we had during this recording!)
‘Sing’ Teaser Trailer Debuts!
The teaser trailer for Illumination Entertainment’s upcoming film, Sing, has debuted. I feel this film can be kinda entertaining, although I can do without some of the song choices. I’m also interested in seeing Seth MacFarlane’s theatrical animated feature film debut. What are your thoughts?
WWTBAM-Animation Edition Episode 12: Esah Yacoob (Round 2)
Hello everyone,
I recently did Episode 12 of my Who Wants to Be a Millionaire-Animation Edition game with Esah Yacoob coming back for his second round. Unfortunately, the video is unavailable, so I’ll just tell you what happened. Esah managed to get to the 500,000 points question (I know, right?), but got it wrong, and lost with 32,000 points.
That means his total score from both rounds is 64,000 points, so Josh is still in the lead. We have two more players to go through for Round 2, so stay tuned! Thanks!
My 88th Academy Awards Predictions!
Hello, readers,
Well, it’s that time again: Oscars season! Like every year, here are my predictions. The ones that I think SHOULD win will be in RED and the ones that I think WILL win will be in BLUE. If they’re the same, they’ll be a combination of both colors! I’ve left the big awards for the end. My record so far has been 14/24 (2013). Let’s see if I can beat it this year. Enjoy!
WWTBAM-Animation Edition Episode 11: Josh Smith (Round 2)
For Episode 11 of the series, Josh Smith is back for Round 2. Watch the video to see how far he gets and check out his blog at www.thelovepirate.net.
WWTBAM-Animation Edition Episode 10: Becky Ginther (Round 2)
The second round of the show begins where we bring back our top 5 highest scorers to see if they can make it to the million again. If nobody does this time, then the person with the highest combined score will be the winner.
Is Becky Ginther that lucky person? Watch to find out!
88th Academy Award Nominations Announced!
Well, it’s that time of year again: when the nominations for the Oscars have been announced! I’ll be posting my predictions of all the winners in a few weeks, but for now, let’s look at the nominees in the animation categories.
BEST ANIMATED FEATURE:
-Anomalisa
-Boy & the World
-Inside Out
-Shaun the Sheep Movie
-When Marnie Was There
BEST ANIMATED SHORT:
-Bear Story
-We Can’t Live Without Cozmos
-Prologue
-Sanjay’s Super Team
-World of Tomorrow
In terms of Best Animated Feature, I’m surprised to see When Marnie Was There and Boy & the World on that list! It’s also interesting to see that The Peanuts Movie and The Good Dinosaur were both snubbed, but I can actually understand that.
In terms of Best Animated Short, I feel people might complain about Lava not being nominated. But, I was neutral about it. I liked it, but I can also understand it not being nominated
What do you all think of these and all the other nominees?
Actor Brian Bedford Dies at 80!
The actor Brian Bedford, probably known best as the voice of Robin Hood in Disney’s animated film of the same name, has passed away at the age of 80. He shall be remembered!
WWTBAM Round 1 Results!
With the beginning of the new year, it’s time to see the results of my Who Wants to Be a Millionaire game! Since nobody made it to the million, we’re going to do a round 2 like I mentioned, in which the top 5 highest scorers will come back for a second chance to make the million. If they still don’t, then the person with the highest total score (from both rounds 1 and 2) will be the winner and win the $20 gift card!
