Hard to believe... but it's Oscar time!

Enter and win a $25 gift certificate to Amazon.com!!

Welcome to my second annual FREE Oscar Pool! Yes, Elizabeth the Oscar freak is shelling out 25 of her own hard-borrowed bucks to entice her dear readers to join her Oscarmania.

Follow the links at the bottom for the rules, nominees, and entry form. All you have to do is make your picks and e-mail them to me by Oscar night, Sunday, March 26. The winner will receive an e-mail with instructions on how to redeem a $25 gift certificate at Amazon.com. A free pool! How cool is that?

Legal mumbo-jumbo: The word "Oscar" is registered, trademarked, copyrighted, all that stuff. It would be awfully embarrassing for a future lawyer to be busted for online gambling, but since it isn't costing you anything to enter, it ain't gambling.
