And the winner is...you?

Yes, it's an antiquated announcement, but it sounds catchier than ...and the gift pack goes to...

Pick the Oscars with Phaze and Win!

Everybody wants to go for the gold, but few are chosen on Hollywood's big night. For the rest of us, it's more fun to speculate who will wear what, who shows up on the red carpet with whom (and whether or not the same people leave together!), and most importantly: who will win. Oscar is truly a fantasy man, a man worth his weight in gold, and Phaze is celebrating this handsome man with our first ever Pick the Oscars contest.

The rules are simple. From the list of nominees below, select your winners and send them in an email to oscars@phazebooks.com with the subject heading OSCAR CONTEST no later than 11PM Saturday, February 26th. The entrant with the highest number of correct predictions wins. In the event of a tie, a winner will be drawn at random.

Up for grabs:

One $10 Blockbuster gift card from Mae Powers
One $10 Borders gift card from Leigh Ellwood
One $15 B&N gift card from Bridget Midway
One eBook download of Truth or Dare by Leigh Ellwood
One eBook download of Fairy Godlover by Devi Sparks (or Animal Magnetism ARC)
One eBook download of Three Days in New York City by Robin Slick
One eBook download of The Dream Ring by Ann Regentin
One Bedtime Stories tote and Madeleine Oh tote bag from Madeleine Oh
One copy of Leonard Maltin’s Movie Guide 2005 from Laura Bacchi

Will The Aviator fly home with Oscar as his co-pilot? Will Oscar's bright ray shine on Jamie Foxx? Is Oscar Clint's Million Dollar Baby? Take a chance, you just might be the big winner come Monday.
