If you heard the results of the Screeners\\u2019 box office wager, you know that Daniel was...less than pleased. Turns out he was so unhappy that he\\u2019s invented another contest just to redeem himself. This time, we\\u2019ll be picking Oscar nominees. The rules are similar to those for the box office wager, but Daniel has doctored them in his favor.

Also: Money isn\\u2019t everything\\u2014or, at least, that\\u2019s what you have to tell yourself if you\\u2019re a fan of the recent adaptation of Donna Tartt\\u2019s The Goldfinch. Its opening weekend was a huge letdown from a box office standpoint, but the film does have one good omen on its side: It signals the time of year when the movies are sourced from books without pictures. It\\u2019s like pumpkin spice for people who prefer words to CGI.
