You all know how much I like movies, right?
I do.
A lot.
And I see lots of ‘em. Well, I enjoy a good contest, too, and since nobody else I know is having an Oscar’s contest, I figured I would.
On Sunday, March 7th, ABC will air the 82nd Academy Awards®. I’ve decided to hold a contest, and the winner get’s a $50 Visa Gift Card from me. It’s pretty easy.

Email your picks to me by clicking here, or just email me at j@brandfoundry.org with “2010 Oscar Contest Entry” in the subject line.
All entries MUST be received by midnight MST on Saturday March 6th, 2010.
Oh, and as a secondary contest, the person who refers the MOST new people to my site to enter the contest wins a $25 Visa Gift Card. Sweet, huh? Just tell whoever you refer to start their email with “referred by: ” so I’ll know where they came from. If your friends don’t include that, I can’t count ‘em.
And the $50 Oscar Visa Gift Card goes to….
