Here’s the Official Ballot.

Here’s the Official Rules:

• There are 24 categories to choose from.
• You pick the winner in each.
• The categories are weighted: some are worth 3 points, others 2 points and the majority are worth 1 point.
• The winner is the one with most points at the end of the telecast.
• There are 40 points total.
• In the event of a tie, the tie-breaker is the player who comes closest to but not over the number of people in the US who watched the telecast.
• If after the first tie-breaker, then I pick names from a hat.
• One entry per contestant.

Since the google form I am using allows multiple entries. I must insist that your last submission before the telecast will be your official submission. Think before submitting.

Polls close Sunday, Feb 22 @ 12:00 AM.

This is the point breakdown structure:

Best Picture, Actor, Actress, Supporting Actor, and Supporting Actress: 3 points each (15 total)

Best Director, Animated Feature, Animated Short, Adapted Screenplay, Original Screenplay, and Art Direction: 2 points each (12 total)

The rest are worth 1 point each (13 total)

Total: 40 ((5*3) + (6*2) + 13)

Here’s the Prizes:
Grand Prize Winner receives his/her choice of a DVD of any of the 2009 nominees.
Second Prize Winner receives his/her choice of any of the Best Pictures nominees DVDs.
Special Jury Prize receives his/her choice of any of the Best Animated Feature nominees DVDs.

**** UPDATE ****
DVD == any media that the film comes in (i.e DVD, VHS, Beta, digital download, torrent, Blue Ray, etc.)

Grand Prize Winner is the highest scorer.
Second Prize Winner is the next highest scorer or second runner up after tie breaks.
Special Jury Prize Winner is the one who scores highest in the categories worth 1 point.
