Yes, it will be interesting ... I just got Miss Goddess's list and I will be tabulating her soon.

Miss Goddess ... your votes are tabulated in. Thanks for the PM.

Good timing on your part!

Tomorrow is the 17th of October, and I'm bumping this thread up to remind everyone that you got 5 more days to get your list of 32 Favorite Movie Couples in.

On Sunday Night (2300, Pacific Standard Time) ... I will set up 16 Polls for the 1st Round of the Contest and proceed from there. I will add another post for clarification because looking at the last poll that was done by ChiO ... I need to add another post to make myself clear. So I will be posting something like 32 posts that day and that is the only way I can effectively do this.

I have a plan to execute it. Based on how ChiO done it and I will try my hardest to copy it.

2nd Round will be 16 posts

3rd Round will be 8 posts

2nd Round will be 4 posts

1st Round will be 2 posts

Final Round will be 1 post to determine the winner, and we will have a winner around Thanksgiving ...

Deadline to post your choices by 3pm Pacific Standard Time ... I have 19 Couples already selected, 13 on the verge

I will be soon be putting them in order by tomorrow morning around 7am. Completed ... can be changed easily by any last minute entries ...

I will be suspending posting pictures of Rita Hayworth until Tuesday.

SEND ME A PRIVATE MESSAGE WHEN YOU GET YOUR ENTRY IN ... PLEASE DO SO!

Right Now ... is 12:20 Pacific Standard Time ...

I can accept any last minute entries until 4:30 pm ... around 11 PM ... Pacific Standard Time ... I will be posting 16 polls and 16 Information Posts because there is no way I can do the same thing that ChiO had done when we did the Best Director Contest.

Polls will be found in the GENERAL CHAT AREA ... Moirafinnie advises me to put it there.

Polls will run for 1 week.

Some difficult choices there, Erik, Garbo and Gilbert versus Astaire and Rogers, that was difficult. Edna and Charlie's round and Mary and Doug's round being difficult ones to choose from too. I wonder if it will be a boy/girl pairing or a same sex pairing that will win.

I know what you mean here Allison ... those two pairing are going to make voting difficult for some members here ... it will be interesting in the 2nd Round when I get down to 8.

To make our Ongoing Polls easier to navigate in one spot, we created a new spot for all polls (esp. those that are multi-leveled head-to-head contests). In the Contests & Polls section linked below, the latest polls set up by Kingme asking us to choose favorite screen couples have been moved to that new section. You can see all these ongoing polls there at the internal link below. Thanks to Kingme for inspiring this idea with this latest poll creation
http://silverscreenoasis.com/oasis3/viewforum.php?f=87

All members are encouraged to vote on these current polls and all members are welcome to create a poll there once this current round is entirely completed.

Com'on gang!
