Do you think you can beat the best Oscars handicappers in the Mid-South at their own game?
For the 6th consecutive year, Cerrito Live host Kevin Cerrito and former Memphis Flyer Film/TV Editor Greg Akers will preside over the best (and only) Oscars Handicapping Show in the Mid-South, on Saturday, February 21, at 11 am on Sports 56 WHBQ/87.7 FM. And now, for the 2nd time ever, the two Oscarologists are giving you a chance to try to outpick them in Cerrito Live’s “Beat Us at the Oscars” contest. Cerrito & Akers are so confident in their Oscars-picking abilities, they will announce their official picks during Cerrito Live on Saturday, February 21 (Podcast available for free on iTunes and at CerritoLive.com). They’re going to tell you who they think will win, because they don’t think it matters whether you know or not. They’re still going to beat you. Further, Cerrito & Akers feel so good about their chances, they are prepared to give away more than $200 worth of prizes, including a pass to the 2015 Indie Memphis Film Festival, to someone who can beat them at guessing the Academy Award winners. If you are courageous enough to run the gauntlet of all 24 Oscars categories, and lucky enough to outpick both Oscarologists, you’ll be eligible to win the following prize showcase:
- Two tickets to three 2015 Indie Memphis Southern Circuit film screenings at Studio on the Square, indiememphis.com/
