The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences has decided to give audiences a voice and make history by allowing fans to vote in this year’s Oscars. And not only does voting for your favorite film or cheer-worthy movie moment let you have a say in determining the best movies of the year, but it also gives you a chance to watch the ceremony live and in person.
The Academy announced the new initiative on Feb. 14 with a Twitter post.
“Make movie history this year with #OscarsFanFavorite and #OscarsCheerMoment,” The Academy tweeted. “Head to oscarsfanfavorite.com for more information.”

You can vote for any movie as a fan favorite by simply going to the appropriate website URL, writing it in and providing a name, email address and state of residence. Pick a favorite moment by uploading an image or a video to the site. You can also enter by posting on Twitter. The winners will be announced at the Academy Awards ceremony.
In fact, you can vote up to 20 times per day until March 3, 2022. And by voting, you are automatically entered to win prizes. Those who submit a cheer-worthy movie moment can win one of five packages that include a year of free movie tickets and streaming services. If you enter the favorite film sweepstakes, you could get a trip to the 95th Oscars in 2023, where you could potentially present an award.
There are two ways to vote, as explained in this tweet.
“Vote up to 20 times per day until 3/3 by tweeting your movie pick with #OscarsFanFavorite & #Sweepstakes or by visiting oscarsfanfavorite.com,” tweeted The Academy.
