Nadir Y. guessed Gravity while Larry A. advanced on 12 Years a Slave to take the lead all by himself. Worse for Nadir, he is joined in second place by Russell V., Keila B., Craig W., and Sarah M.
Next up come the Pulitzer Prizes. Larry will maintain his lead if the New York Times is feted the most, while Craig W. or Sarah M. have a chance of joining him at the top if the Washington Post or Los Angeles Times, respectively, beat out the Gray Lady. Rachel H. and Hexiang can advance to tie for second if the Wall Street Journal wins.
