And the Foscar goes to: readers choice poll
The Red Carpet will come out, the fashions will be dazzling, Ellen DeGeneres will be witty and compelling as the host, and a lot of people will make a lot of speeches ranging from thigh-slapping hilarious to "Oh God, please drag them off the stage."
The Awards night will be grand and entertaining (if a little too long), and a lot of Oscars will be handed out. But we won't get a say .
The "Academy" chooses who wins the Oscars. So who exactly is the Academy? Talk about your faceless men (and women).
WE, the movie viewing public, go to the movies.
WE pay the price of a ticket.
WE decide if a movie is a hit or not so you'd think we'd get SOME say in who wins.
Well this isn't official by any means, but we're giving you a say in our exclusive Fairfax Readers poll... you could call them the Fairfax Oscars (or Foscars for short).
We're starting with the basics... Best Film, Best Director, Best Actor and Best Actress.
So here's your chance to have your say.
Will our readers picks line up with "the Academy"?
Will they go in a totally different direction?
Get voting and let us know.
