Vote for the Book behind the Oscar movie!

I just came across this and had to share it immediately with all of you. Encore Books in Yakima, WA has an online Oscar Ballet to vote for the BOOKS that the Oscar nominated movies originated from. I love this idea so I am spreading the word.  Online Ballot is HERE.


From their site: "Every year the Academy honors the actors and directors and everyone else involved in movie-making, but they almost never recognize the books... and the beloved characters in those books... that make so many of their films possible.

We think its time to correct that oversight, so we've created this ballot. Please help us choose which books and characters are Oscar-worthy. The six categories and nominations below are all taken from this year's Academy Award nominations."

As a special Thank You, they will select some of the entries to receive a free book!

You get to vote on these categories:
  • Best Supporting Female Character (Taken from nominations for Best Supporting Actress)
  • Best Supporting Male Character (Taken from nominations for Best Supporting Actor)
  • Best Female Character (Taken from nominations for Best Actress)
    Best Male Character (Taken from nominations for Best Supporting Actor)
  • Best Book (Taken from nominations for Best Actor)
  • Best adaptation of a book into a movie (Taken from nominations for Best Writing, Adapted Screenplay)

Voting closes at midnight February 25th.
Results will be revealed February 26th on their Facebook Page


Let's help celebrate the BOOKS behind these movies!
