And the winner is: LISA BISA, with a final score of 23!

Thank you to everyone who entered, and a very special thank you to all of you who dropped a total of $36 into the kitty. My bank account is extremely grateful.

So, while Lisa is off shopping, the rest of you can see how you fared. (Those with *stars* around their names are my most loyal Oscar poolers, who have entered every year so far. God bless you people. I mean it.)
