Every year (sort of), Daily Grindhouse’s Bizarro Oscars have been our way of celebrating less conventional aspects of popular films, and even better, to spotlight those films we love that most definitely won’t be recognized at the “real” Academy Awards on Sunday night. Here, genre films of every kind are celebrated, and random performances and other aspects that might never otherwise get their spotlight are foregrounded.
For the first time, we are opening our sort-of-annual Bizarro Oscars to everyone out there in Internet-Land.
One catch: Quick turnaround! Due by 9am this Saturday, March 9th. Copy, fill out, and paste — send to jonnyabomb@gmail.com. Make sure to let us know your full name and where to find you on social media. Thanks!
