Do you have what it takes to Beat Beifuss?

John Beifuss, movie critic for The Commercial Appeal, has been analyzing nominees for the OscarsĀ®. On March 7, he's going to announce who he thinks will win in 10 of the Academy Awards categories. If you outguess him, you win a chance to get 20 free Malco movie tickets. The deadline to vote is 5 p.m. Friday, March 5, 2010.

On Sunday, March 7, look in the M section in the newspaper or online at gomemphis.com and thebloodshoteye.com and read Beifuss's picks.

Employees of Memphis Publishing Company and their immediate families are not eligible for this contest. That night, watch the Oscar presentations and see how you did. If you were right in more categories than our movie critic, you Beat Beifuss at the Oscars. We'll take the ballots of the Beifuss Beaters and select up to 10 at random who will receive 20 Malco movie tickets. Winners must make an appointment to pick up tickets within 30 days.
