Dear Oscar, Hear My Plea and Social Network DVD Giveaway

As we close out the last gasp of Phase I of the 2010 Oscar race, there are just three days left for Oscar voters to fill out their ballots. I started Oscarwatch in 1999. That is a long time at the wheel. I’m just saying. It has never been as much of a circus as it’s been this year. Twitter and Facebook have just added to the feeding frenzy and if I were an Oscar voter I’d either feel exceedingly special, or hunted like one of Sarah Palin’s wolves.

To celebrate this, the last few days before the end of campaigning, I’d like to to toss out a giveaway for you all. We’ll be giving out three DVDs of David Fincher’s brilliant film, The Social Network. The two-disc set features, in addition to the movie (which I listen to like I’m listening to a CD, so smooth is the dialogue, so flawless is the sound design) there is the DVD commentary with Fincher going through the various scenes, the choices they made. There is also much in the way of cast and crew interviews in the supplemental disc that is fascinating too.

To enter this giveaway, simple tell us all which actor, actress, film, script, composer, designer you’d most like to see get a nomination. We will select three people at random to receive this.

I’ll start. Dear Oscar, Hear My Plea: please nominate Lesley Manville. Please nominate John Hawkes.
