2017 Oscar Challenge

The Excel Rain Man Osculator is back for its 8th season and looking to roll out the red carpet for your 2017 Oscar picks. Even if you’re just in it for the fashion (like, you may very well go to your friend’s Oscar viewing party in black tie) or you made it your mission to see every nominee (yep, even the animated shorts) throwing a little money around always makes things more dramatic. Excel Rain Man OSCulator (OSCAR + Calculator=OSCulator) is ready for its close-up thanks to spreadsheet genius Allyssa Tzavlakis!

The OSCulator is an easy to use Oscar winner pick-em system…so let the games begin! Whether you’re looking to start an office pool or your bestie hosts an annual Oscar Viewing Party, it’s a fun and easy way to manage and/or participate in spreadsheet-based betting and hopefully fleece some money off friends and coworkers!

To use the free Excel Rain Man 2017 OSCulator:
– Go to the Tips & Tricks page of www.ExcelRainMan.com and download the file called 2017 OSCulator.
– A pop-up window will appear asking you to Open or Save this file. We recommend saving the file in a memorable directory on your PC (Desktop or My Documents).
– Now find the 2017 Osculator.zip file that you saved, right click on it and select “Extract All…”. Once this is complete (note the Wizard is happy to walk you through this), we suggest opening the 2016 OSCulator Guide to walk you through your brand new 2017 OSCulator.
– Direct the pool entrants to download the 2017 Oscar Ballots for free from the Tips & Tricks page of www.ExcelRainMan.com. Ask all participants to enter their Name where indicated on the form and make a selection for each Award Category using the available dropdown menus.
– Your crew sends back their completed Ballots.
– You (aka the Pool Manager) will keep track of their selections via the 2017 OSCulator. Let our OSCulator do the work of tallying up the results on OSCAR night so you can get back to your white zin and enjoy the rest of your evening.

Please note that both our PC and Mac friends can participate in the OSCAR Pool by filling out the ballots, but the 2017 OSCulator has to be run by a PC.
