4th Annual SRmedia Oscar Challenge

How savvy are you at predicting Academy Award winners?

Welcome to the fourth annual Can You Beat the Crowd? Oscar® challenge, where you compete not just against friends and co-workers, but against the combined smarts of everyone else in the game -- the "wisdom of the crowd."

OH, SO EASY TO PLAY

It's a FREE contest, and fun for anyone who loves movies. It doesn't matter how many nominated movies you've seen.

Just choose a "nickname" and provide a valid e-mail address. Then wade into the crowd and make your predictions in 24 Oscar categories.

WIN BRAGGING RIGHTS. AND A FREE BOOK OR SUBSCRIPTION.

This can be a tough crowd. But beat the crowd and you get bragging rights for a year, AND become eligible to win one of these prizes:

All you can watch! A 6-month subscription to Netflix (sorry, U.S. only)
"Writing Movies," the ultimate resource for screenwriters from the Gotham Writers' Workshop screenwriting faculty.
An Oscar-winning movie on DVD
"The Wisdom of Crowds," the book by James Surowiecki which inspired this game.

FOLLOW THE BUZZ LIKE AN AGENT? OR BUCK THE CROWD LIKE A MOGUL?

Every time you log in, you'll see the current "crowd favorite" for each award. You can follow the buzz and keep changing your votes right up until the Oscar telecast at 8pm ET on Sunday, Feb. 24. Or you can stick with your original instincts... if you have the guts.

ADDED ATTRACTIONS:

Crowd Wisdom: Crowd favorites will be updated continuously, not just end of day, so you can monitor the changing crowd sentiment.
Insider Access: Compare your votes to the whole crowd, or a small, select group composed of "Hollywood insiders" and players who've actually seen all the movies!
Red Carpet Buzz: Add your own public comments to each Oscar category, for all to see, ponder, and respond to.

It costs you nothing to enter. Simply sign up on this page, then enter your Oscar predictions. Change your predictions as often as you like until Oscar night. Contest opens January 28, 2008, and concludes just before the Oscar telecast on February 24. Good luck!
