Yes, it's that time of the year again and CinemaSpeak would like to do our part to make the 74th Academy Awards just a bit more exciting for our readers by sponsoring a contest. The rules are basic -- simply choose a winner in each of the 8 categories listed below (which are assigned different point values), e-mail your picks to us and cheer on your predictions on March 24. The person who accumulates the highest point total wins (in case of a tie, we will defer to the tie-breaker question). It's fast, easy and fun for the whole family. So, send your picks to: contest@cinemaspeak.com by 12:00 P.M. PST on March 24.
The tie-breaker question is: How long will the Academy Awards ceremony last (hours and minutes -- no need to worry about seconds)?
You may be wondering what grand prize awaits the winner. The answer to your question is:
One of the below DVD'S or videos (winner's choice) mainly compiled from our collective 2001 top ten lists and a stylish CinemaSpeak.com t-shirt! Surely your office pool won't be this exciting. The DVD/video choices are:
Amores Perros
Apocalypse Now Redux
Bully
The Crimson Rivers
Donnie Darko
Ghost World
Hedwig and the Angry Inch
Heist
Made
Memento
Without further adieu, we give you the nominees. Good luck!
