The Academy Awards took place on Sunday. It was….interesting. The winners were perhaps predictable, but there were a few twists and turns- namely, Will Smith smacking Chris Rock on live TV. Hop online and check that moment out if you haven’t already!
Congratulations to all the award winners. And CONGRATULATIONS to the winners of our ballot contest. Two people tied for the most right and picked a whopping 21 of 23 correct winners! I daresay that’s better than I did personally. Great job!
The two winners were Robert Hicken who saw the contest in the Butler County Tribune-Journal and Rodney Worsham who saw the contest online. Because they both got the same number correct, a coin was flipped to determine the winner. Rodney will receive a $50 gift card and Robert will get a $20 gift card. Thank you to everyone who participated in the contest!
