Oscars: Academy Members Must Register to Vote by This Thursday Afternoon

Attention members of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences. Do you want to vote for the Oscars this year? I was told at lunch today by a friend at the New York branch, the following: all members must contact the Academy and register to vote online (or by paper if you have no access to a computer) by this Thursday, November 30th. If you’re not registered, you won’t be able to vote online or on paper. Period. There’s some fear now that a lot of people are still not signed up for the new system. In this, maybe the best year for Oscar potential films in a generation, it would be a debacle if someone tried to vote and found out they couldn’t. Visit the academy website for more info, or just call ’em.
