Vote For Best Picture


Thanks to Awards Daily for pointing this out, but it appears some internet wiz has created a voting ballot for internet users who would like to compare how audiences would vote for Oscars if they had the chance. Here's the story:

Vote like a member of the Academy. Click here to select your personal preferences for nominees in the top six categories.

Note: If the link doesn’t work, make sure you’ve turned off your pop-up blocker since the ballot will appear as a pop-up window.


I have to admit that this thing has me intrigued. I've already filled out my ballot, though I'm not going to tell you how I voted. This is a great idea though. People always say that if they were voting they would vote differently, and with the actual nominations a few weeks away, this will be a great way to compare notes. I do ask that people who vote not vote on how they think the Academy would vote. This is your personal list, and if you want to vote for "Iron Man" in the number one slot, then go ahead and do it because, gosh darn it, it's YOUR favorite film this year! Also, tempting as it may be, if anyone from Dark Campaign is reading this, PLEASE don't vote for "The Dark Knight" in every category as part of your campaign! Just because you think it's the best film of the year does NOT mean Christian Bale deserves a nomination for Best Actor! Of course, if you want to share how you voted in the comments box feel free to, just remember: Your voting on your own personal feelings, not predictions or FYC campaigns.
