23rd Annual Predict the Academy Awards Competition

Oscar Contest

Voting in The Numbers 23rd Annual Predict the Academy Awards Competition is under way. This is our traditional chance for you to win some great prizes, and for all of our readers collectively to predict who will win the Oscars on February 9. The top selection for Best Picture in our contest has gone on to win the Best Picture Oscar 14 times in the previous 22 years we’ve run the contest, and we’ve correctly predicted the Best Animated Feature 15 times out of 18. That represents a batting average of about 75%—an amazing performance when you consider that there are now nine or ten nominees for Best Picture each year.

When you make your predictions, we show you how many people have voted for each movie so far, and allow you to go back and change your choices. In fact, you can come back at any time to update your predictions as news breaks and sentiment changes about different nominees. But beware our tie-breaking rule: if multiple people correctly predict the same number of winners, whoever made their picks first will win the prize.

So enter now for your best chance of winning our grand prize: every film nominated for Best Picture on DVD or Blu-ray. We will send you all nine films that are nominated as soon as they become available on the home market, and you get to choose either the DVD or Blu-ray version. Our runner-up will win the Best Picture and Best Animated Feature on DVD or Blu-ray.
