The results are in, and the Oscar's catering service will go to Aubrey Snyder, who won first place in this year's Jefferson City News Tribune and Oscar's Classic Diner contest.
"I am extremely excited. I am already looking ahead to how can I use the prize," Snyder said. "My mom plays every single year and for a while she would do it for us, and this year my little brother and I helped picked them out. ... I have to give my little brother, Colton, credit because he did help me with some categories."
She and her brother did disagree on who would win the Best Picture category, and he is a little upset about that, she said. She also added that she has not seen all the nominees, but is looking forward to watching "The Theory of Everything" and "The Grand Budapest Hotel."
Snyder won $100 cash and catering for 10 from Oscar's Classic Diner.
The official ballot for the contest has six categories: Best Picture, Best Actor, Best Actress, Best Supporting Actor, Best Supporting Actress and Best Foreign Language Film. Out of hundreds of ballots submitted online or by mail, 20 people got all the categories correct. A drawing determined the three final winners. This is the contest's 24th year.
"It is a lot of fun to play, and I look forward to it every year," said Marilyn Barnard, second-place finisher. "This is the first year I have ever won anything, and even if you don't win it is a lot of fun. It makes you excited about watching the Oscars; it makes you keep a close eye on them."
Barnard won $50 and a large pizza from West Main Pizza. West Main Pizza opened in late 2014, and this is the first year for both restaurants to sponsor prizes for the contest. Barnard said she plans to use the money on a vacation to St. Louis to go to a casino and possibly double her winnings.
She said the only film from the Best Picture nominees she has seen is "American Sniper" and that she highly recommends it. She also said she did not get to see all of the ceremony this year, but she did see Lady Gaga perform and Eddie Redmayne collect his award.
The third-place finisher was Jim Dishman, who will collect $25 and large pizza as well.
Dishman said he and his wife have entered the contest a few times before and usually follows the categories best actor and director. He added that he was pretty lucky to win.
"Well we kind of randomly picked stuff," Dishman said about the contest. "I have not seen all those movies of course, so it was more of an educated guess."
