Oscar Pool Results are In!

The winners of the prestigious First Annual Oxford Oscar Pool were announced this morning:

1st Place: Julia Pentz, Marketing Coordinator, Distribution
2nd Place: Jeff Shoup, Institutional Sales Representative
3rd Place: Debbie Farinella, Network/Consortia Sales Manager

According to Jessica Chesnutt, Online Product Specialist and pool organizer, everyone’s picks were quite varied with the exception of the Best Actor category, in which everyone unanimously crowned Colin Firth.

Pentz won in a nail-biting tiebreaker, correctly choosing The Social Network for Best Original Score and In a Better World for Best Foreign Language Film. Her acceptance speech is transcribed below:

I would like to thank the Academy, my parents, my friends, my comfy couch and big tv, and the great city of New York for showing movies long before they’re playing in the rest of the country.
