It's Oscar time again and The Record is using Journal Register Company's partnership with UPickem - an online engine/service that makes things like photo contests, polls, and other types of submission-based contests a breeze to operate since it does all the leg work - to allow readers to make their selections for who will win big at this Sunday's event.

The Oscars, like the Grammys and most other big award shows, provide a fun chance for fans to fill out brackets and try to guess who will take home the golden statues for their work in film over the last year.

We're glad to be able to add a taste of that experience to The Record's online content. More than 40 users have already make their selections and we hope that many more users will take advantage of this feature before voting closes prior to the start of Sunday night's show at 8 p.m. on the ABC network.


How It Works: Pick the correct winner for the six Oscar categories we selected and have a chance to win dinner and a movie for two in upstate New York's Capital District. If multiple readers guess all answers correctly, a winner will be randomly selected from those individuals
