As the winning names are pulled from sealed envelopes and announced at each year’s Academy Awards ceremony, you probably say “Yeah, I expected that” almost as often as you let out a “Huh – Whaaaat?!?”

Entertainment Weekly is running a “re-vote” with both industry professionals and the public to “Recall the Gold”, beginning with the controversial 1998 awards where SHAKESPEARE IN LOVE successfully campaigned against the expected victor SAVING PRIVATE RYAN.

Let ’em know what you think.
