My goal was to create a Google Forms hosted Oscars ballot that I could share with my 2020 pool members. </p> <p>To create this form, I used a combination of web scraping and the Google Apps Script Form Service class. The web scraping piece was inspired by some of the great Wes Bos' videos.</p> <p>As this was my first ever video, the quality <strong>isn't amazing</strong>. I don't own a nice mic (used AirPods) and I left in all of my "uhhs" and "umms". </p> <p>All feedback is welcome. I've shared my <a href="https://gist.github.com/cashlion/279de14edcf380c7eaf3918d68ead4ce">finished code here</a> and anyone interested in joining the pool for fun can <a href="https://docs.google.com/forms/u/0/d/1yHxOo1HqdP8ar9ALBbSMrMS3uMrs1-2x4OHwzJ0SeI8/edit">enter here</a>.</p> <p>Thanks. 👨‍💻</p> googleappsscript javascript oscars
