In honor of the eighty-second year of its existence, you're going to have a chance to have your say in who should walk away with "The Cowsie."
For those of you who don't know, "The Cowsie" was actually given out to those who achieved excellence in film one year prior to The Academy of Arts and Sciences giving out their so-called "Oscars." It's gotten to the point where THEY even announce THEIR nominations the same day that we do, and THEY even hold THEIR awards ceremony the same day we do. Granted, our ceremony's probably going to take place out by the dumpsters of a twenty-four-hour Wawa (oooooooh...raspberry iced tea)...BUT THAT'S BESIDES THE POINT!
So here's where you come in...
Listed below are the nominees in seven (7) "Cowsie" categories, as well as a tie-breaker question. Make your selections, send them to me and the winning entry will get something of "value" I've got laying around here.
Wait...I mean, "YOU'LL WIN A WONDERFUL PRIZE OF CONSIDERABLE VALUE!"

The Fine Print
*You can submit your selections by e-mailing me at: becausecowsmakedelicious@gmail.com
*Selections must be received NO LATER than 11:59:59PM on Saturday, February 21, 2009.
*In regards to the tie-breaker, a winner will be declared based on whose time came closest to the official end time. If there is a further tie after that (ex: someone said it would end four minutes early and someone said it would end four minutes late), then we're going to PRICE IS RIGHT rules and awarding the win to the person who came closest without going over. Sorry...I don't have a little mechanical mountain climber yodeling his way up a mountain for added effect.
*Winner will be posted and notified the week of February 22, 2009.
