Oscar-picking contest results in tie

By Melissa Davlin Times-News writer

Christine McNurlin and Dawn Jones shared the spotlight in this year’s Times-News Oscar-picking contest. Neither of the women is a newcomer to victory — this is McNurlin’s fourth win and Jones’ sixth. The two beat out 47 other entrants to claim the title yet again, and each received a $25 gift certificate to Best Buy for their efforts. Both women correctly predicted that Sean Penn would win Best Actor for his portrayal of California’s first openly gay politician in “Milk,” that Kate Winslet would get her first Academy Award for Best Actress, and that “WALL-E” would walk away with the Best Animated Feature title. The only category out of our 11 that the two missed was Best Foreign Language Film, which happened to be the tie- breaker for this contest. (Japanese film “Departures” won the award.) How did they do it? A combination of research and plain ol’ luck. Jones, pictured at left, said she couldn’t rely on her personal favorites for picking the movies. “I just loved the movie ‘Benjamin Button,’” she said. “That was the one I really liked, but (the race) just wasn’t going in its favor.” Jones had seen only a couple of the nominat- ed flicks, and doesn’t even plan on seeing Best Picture winner “Slumdog Millionaire.” “I’m really not that interested in it,” the Twin Falls woman said, adding that she prefers romantic movies. “You can’t really beat ‘Gone with the Wind.’” McNurlin, on the other hand, has seen almost all of the nominees — except for the foreign films, which rarely find their way to south-central Idaho. She sees about two movies in the theater per month, most of them while on dates with her husband. “Our first date was a movie,” said McNurlin, at right, who lives in Twin Falls. She prefers chick flicks, while he loves action movies. “We always take turns picking the movie,” she said. She rents the films she misses in the theater.

And don’t think this is the last you’ll see of Photo illustrations by ASHLEY SMITH/Times-News Jones and McNurlin in the Oscar-picking contest. “I love to win,” Jones said.
