Brad, could you complete the last year's bracket by putting in who won?

http://www.bracketmaker.com/tmenu.cfm?tid=462048

11-4 Red won.

The first and the second edition are missing the winner too, but I guess you can't edit those cos they were run by a different person. Here's the links to past editions just for a fun bit of history:

Interesting Once Upon A Time is one of my favorite movies but the soundtrack never stood out to me. Do you prefer it over The Good, The Bad and The Ugly?
Yes, definitely. Of course they're both brilliant, but there is a majestic melancholy quality to the music of Once Upon a Time in the West, both grand and subtle, that has yet to be matched by any other movie soundtrack I've heard (and I've heard many). I will leave specifics for the time we get around it in this game.
Also, you're the first fan of the film I've come across who didn't call the soundtrack the standout. Its hard for me to think of a non-musical film in which the music is such a complete part of the experience.

Yeah the score just has never stood out to me. Maybe because it's not overpowering and in your face like TGTBTU. I haven't watched the movie in about a year so the next time I watch it I will pay a little closer attention to the score.

Once Upon a Time in the West does not have "The Ecstasy of Gold" or the title tune, but it's pretty good.

Yeah, I accidentally misspelled it when I submitted it.

Reminder - The tournament starts tomorrow. If you are interested in getting a Predict-It bracket in, deadline is tomorrow night... brackets must be fully completed to count in this friendly competition!

PS - I will correct all of the above when I get a chance.

Thanks!

How do we submit brackets again? Is it supposed to be a spreadsheet or a PM or what?
