At 6 p.m. Sunday, the 96th Academy Awards, better known as the Oscars, will occur.
In commemoration of film lovers’ biggest night of the year, the Northern Star will host a contest to see who can predict the closest ballot of winners for the six biggest categories: Best Picture, Best Actor, Best Actress, Best Supporting Actor, Best Supporting Actress and Best Director.
The Oscars will play on ABC but will also be streamable on Hulu Live TV, YouTube TV, AT&T TV and FuboTV.
On Wednesday, we will predict and pick our winners, so we invite you to as well.
The person who has the closest picks to the results of the Oscars will receive a $25 Visa gift card.
The competition will be open until 11:59 p.m. Saturday.
The winner will be announced on the Northern Star’s website and in our daily newsletter, TLDR, on March 18.
