Every year I hold a competition with my family to predict the Academy Award winners. I would pit their brains and film knowledge against mine to see if anyone could out-predict me when it came to naming the winners of all the major categories. We had a lot of fun, and usually I would win out. A few times I was bested though and some of my family won some sweet prizes (trip to Hollywood, tour a studio, DVD’s etc.)This year I am opening up the contest to EVERYONE!!! What does that mean? Well, you have a chance to outsmart me by predicting more winners of the Academy Awards than I do. I know, I know…your asking why would you be interested. The winner of the contest will get to be a guest writer on my blog and get to Review a film of their choice! In order for you to review a great film, I will give you two free movie tickets (through the miracle of a modern technology called the interweb) and a gift certificate for concessions for the theater of your choice! So…here are the rules:
1. Fill out this ballot, or write out who you think will take home the Oscar from each of the major categories.
2. E-mail me your predictions to ckhutch03@hotmail.com with the subject ‘Oscar Competition’
3. You must send your prediction by 3pm on Sunday March 7th to qualify.
4. To prove I’m not cheating, I will post my predictions here before the show begins.
5. The winner will be notified the following week and arrangements will be made through Fandango or another online site for concessions and tickets.
And honestly, if you're too lazy to send me your predictions for something so awesomely free, then you don't deserve to win anyway. Good luck and may the best cinefile win!

Hey Chad,
Are we allowed to look up what other movie critics have said? What are the regulations for this? I just want to clarify only because Cara might pull another crazy search so she can win!!!:) Gotta love family!!!
no regulations, although...If you do spend a lot of time looking up other peoples predictions, just know that if you win - then you cheated. If you can live with that then by all means, cheat.
Hey,
The website you posted to fill out the ballot is a read only pdf. How do we download it so that we can mark it up, or can we just make a list of what we think we will win and send it to you? Just curious. And no, I'm not going to cheat. Just going off instinct and what I have heard from others. I'm going to win the good old fashioned way!! :)
