Awards Daily’s master tabulator Rob has finished polishing the algorithms for this year’s 2nd Annual Simulate Oscar Ballot Experiment. Already we’ve agreed to rethink some of our original intentions to better reflect the spirit of fun we all hope to find in our ideal Oscar experience. So this year for the final round we’re tossing out all the vague and unwieldy instructions to guess what an AMPAS member might do, or to vote for nominees “we think” might win. We’ll find out what the Academy thinks and wants all too soon, right? This ballot has been created for AD Readers’ entertainment so we’re asking simply: Vote for what makes you happy. Looks like nobody’s going to give any of us exactly what we want across the board, so we’re each responsible for our own Oscargasm. Vote with your “heart” (and if your heart is somehow wired in and networked with your brain, all the better.)
Another terrific new feature Rob has added this year is a set of individual demographic questions. This info (confidential & anonymous) might provide some interesting insight into how various groups display a range of inclinations for “certain kinds of tastes”. So let’s take the nominee slate AMPAS has handed us and find the best balance. Unleash your liberated opinions and express your fondest Oscar desires. Here’s the ballot. Have at it, gang.
We want to know what you think is best. We are not asking what you think will win. That is handled over at our PREDICT THE OSCARS contest. We want you to say what you think is best.
