Geocache Description:


There is nothing hidden at the posted coordinates. You must solve the puzzle below to determine the coordinates of the cache.

Nearly 16 years ago I started caching with my mother and father. Then I had about a 3,000 day gap of finds. Around 5 years ago I started caching again with my daughter. In the last year I've found about 750 caches and solved about 75 puzzles. I created and launched a few puzzles over the last few months and I've been thinking a lot about my favorite puzzles and ideas for making something for other cachers. This cache is the tenth in what I hope is a series of caches throughout the winter of 2023.

While here at the posted coordinates you might be able to watch an award winning movie. Be sure to save the bonus information from the geochecker for the winter season finale. On with the show...

It’s award season again and it reminds me of watching so many of my favorite movies, documentaries, and short films. This year, out of the contenders, I watched Top Gun (part 2), Everything Everywhere All at One, The Banthrees of Inisherin, All Quintet on the Western Front, and I wanted to watch the other six, but haven’t gotten around to it. I don’t know who will win on Oscar night, but I do know that if I think about hiding my next cache, I would only use movies that had won an academy award. None of the selected winners won best picture and none are pictured at all. 

Here’s what I’ve come up with:
From the 44th 
From the 1st 
From the 87th and 92nd 
From the 27th 
From the 87th 
From the 26th 
From the 87th 
From the 75th 
From the 88th 
From the 86th 
From the 60th 

Can you find the golden statue and get to the Winners Circle?
