Why should the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences have all the fun when it comes to the international sport of Oscar speculation? Cast your ballot as a member of The Coast’s academy, and you might be one of five lucky winners of a prize from Empire Theatres: a pair of tickets that you and a friend can use for a free movie at Park Lane or the Oxford. Survey closes Monday, March 1. Results will be announced in the March 4 issue of The Coast.
Rules:
Select who you think will take home hardware when the envelopes are opened for reals March 7, and your name will go in a random draw for the Empire Theatres prizes. Enjoy.

Can I just say that Brad looks scrumptious in this picture
A wise man who always won our Oscar pool taught me the trick to winning. Don’t see any of the movies. If you see any of the nominated movies it will throw off your guess because quality and taste will come into play. You have to guess based PURELY on hype. I tried it the following year and won $11 bucks.
