If you wish you could vote like members of the Academy, or at least get rewarded for your movie wisdom, here is your chance.

The Boston Globe created the Best of Hollywood Contest so the general public could submit their own Oscar predictions.

Powered by Caspio, the app guides users through the 10 major categories so they can easily cast votes in less than 5 minutes. Once predictions are submitted, users receive an email with a link to their personalized scorecard so they can track scores while watching the live show.
