82nd TMMC Oscars Sweepstakes!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Well really it's the first Oscar Sweepstakes, but let's pretend it's an institution shall we?  I know you've been going to the movies every night for the last three weeks just for this.  Well it's finally here!  All you sore losers from the Golden Globes Giveaway, it's your time to redeem yourselves.  In honor of the big day just a few days away, I'm ready to announce the TMMC Oscars Sweepstakes.

I toiled over what the big question should be.  I couldn't make it too easy, considering rumors have it that the acting categories are all but sewn up.  I'm still hoping for a fist fight between Meryll Streep and Sandy B, full of hair pulling and biting, but I'm not holding out for that one.  Plus I personally believe the Best Picture category is dominated by only two movies, so that's not fun.  And then I realized I probably rat on a movie's writing more than anything else in my reviews.  It all starts with good writing, and then it goes up or downhill from there.  And if Trannies Too director Michael Bay is directing, you've got an even greater chance of spiraling into cinematic abyss.  So, here it is...  

The Challenge - post a comment to this entry and vote on which two movies will win Best Writing (Adapted Screenplay) and Best Writing (Original Screenplay).  Don't forget to include your name! 

How To Win - correctly identify both winners and you'll be entered into the Grand Drawing. 

The Fine Print - If no one correctly identifies both winners, any entry with at least one correct guess will be entered into the drawing.  A representatives from Kimpton Hotels & Restaurants will oversee the validity of the Grand Drawing, which will take place on Sunday, March 7 following the Oscars.  The winner will subsequently be announced on TMMC. 

The Prize - a $50 gift card to Fandango.com or a movie theater of your choosing!  It's the Oscars people - you didn't think I was going to up the ante?

If you need a refresher of this year's nominees, here they are:

Writing (Adapted Screenplay)

• District 9
• An Education
• In the Loop
• Precious
• Up in the Air

Writing (Original Screenplay)

Oh stop your whining.  I don't want to hear that you haven't seen these movies and you have no idea who to vote for.  Go on what movie poster you like most for all I care, just get out and vote!  You've got a decent chance of winning!  Plus you still have plenty of time to get your last licks in while Steve Martin tugs his face back so hard you bounce a quarter off it.  See a full list of nominees! 
And as we reach the final stretch to Hollywood's most self indulgent day of the year, stay tuned to TMMC for updates and fun facts each day.  Tom Cruise is so excited he even let Katie out of the basement for a few days.  Good luck and happy voting!
