Okay, our first points have been scored!  Question 8 in the This Time Next Year Game, as detailed in the first of the Twelve Blogs of Christmas last year, was this:

Will any of the 2012 Academy Award (Oscar) nominees for Best Picture be (within a generous description) in the genres of science fiction, fantasy or horror?

And the answer to that is YES, with Woody Allen's Midnight in Paris being indisputably a fantasy movie.  (I was worried about debates over Hugo.)

So our first points table reads (alphabetically):

B-Guymer: 1
C.A. Young: 1
Fizzle: 1
Kendersule: 1
Liz: 1
L.M. Myles: 1
Michael Lee: 1
Nick Pheas: 1
Paul F: 1
Penny Heal and Jason Stevens: 1
Phil Hansen: 1
RHeitzmann: 1
Scottish Falsetto Sock Puppet Theatre: 1
Soru: 1
Tom: 1

Sorry, Uther Dean and N.J, you should have limited yourselves to Yes or No.  (I didn't penalise those who picked Yes but then went on to guess which movies.)

Some points have been scored in one other category (the New 52 one), but we'll wait until the appropriate month to total them.  You're all doing very well!
