Vote for Best Movie, Urges Bishops Communications Committee

WASHINGTON (February 15, 2005) – The U.S. Bishops' Communications Committee is urging people to cast their own vote for the Academy Awards.
The Committee, which oversees the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops’ Office for Film and Broadcasting (OFB), is providing the opportunity to vote on the USCCB Web site at (http://www.usccb.org/movies/oscarvote2005.htm).

The options include voting for Best Actor, Actress, Director and Best Movie of the Year and a handful of other categories.

The chance to vote continues through February 27, the date of the annual presentation of the coveted Oscars, voted on by members of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences.

The results of the Communications Committee survey will be posted on the USCCB Web site February 28.

Frankly, I'm disappointed that an office of the USCCB is engaged in this kind of activity - Disappointed, yes - surprised, not at all...
