This Best Picture Elimination Game I've been doing gave me an idea to do an elimination game with my personal winners in each category (Eg, Best Picture of the 1990's, Best Actor Winners of the 21st Century, etc.)

I just wondered. Would you guys be up for doing an elimination game with my personal winners or would you rather I stuck with actual winners?
