Posted February 5, 201510 yr BUZZOSCARS 20http://i197.photobucket.com/albums/aa104/bigzarafan/oscars_zpse6370ef0.png5 WELCOME to the BuzzOscars 2015, where you get the chance to vote on this year's Academy nominees. I've not included every category, it's been cut down to 15. Voting will be open until Friday 20th February so you have a couple of weeks and the results will be revealed on the Saturday, the day before the actual show. Please vote in this thread, making it clear what your top preference is and if you wish you may also give a second preference (these will only be consulted in the event of a tie on first preferences).
