8h 30min, feb 18, 2022 y - DEADLINE Johnny Depp Ignites Academy’s #OscarsFanFavorite Race

Description:

#OscarsFanFavorite was born, in conjunction with Twitter. It promises fans rewards for tweeting their personal favorite for Best Picture, from any movie released in 2021 that is eligible for an Oscar (meaning, in this case, March 1-December 31, 2021 releases on the official Academy Eligibility List). As part of the promotion, three lucky winners will be flown to L.A. to “present” on the 2023 Oscar show. Fans were told they could vote up to 20 tweets each day up to March 3. Of course, this could all blow up if truly Twitter-savvy participants with an agenda decide to gang up and game the system.

Cabello fans were simply flooding the Academy’s Fan Fave site. So were Johnny Depp’s, whose barely released and hardly seen indie drama Minamata was dropped into a theater finally after long legal delays in order to even qualify, but which received no attention from Oscar voters. That is defiantly not the case for Depp fans, one of whom tweeted “Let’s do it for Johnny.” Wouldn’t that be an Oscar moment for the ages if Minamata pulls it out? Even its director Andrew Levitas was tweeting it is his #OscarsFanFavorite.
