The Oscar Ballot Contest Winner is...

Each award season, the dedicated cinephiles on the Plaza Classic Film Festival Advisory Committee try to guess who the voting members of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences will pick to win Oscars.

This contest isn't just for bragging rights. The winner of the Oscar Ballot Contest gets to select one movie to screen during that year's Plaza Classic Film Festival.

For the second year in a row, committee member Keri Moe has claimed the honor, correctly guessing the winner in 18 of 23 categories (she even picked Mikey Madison to win Best Actress)!

Keri joins Oscar Ballot Contest losers Stephanie Valle and Lisa Elliott to share her selection secrets, and to discuss what she might want to show at this year's film fest.

The Plaza Classic Film Festival is July 17-27, 2025.

The Plaza Classic Podcast is a production of the El Paso Community Foundation and is recorded on the El Paso Community College campus.
