Get ready for the Academy Awards with this out-of-the-ordinary Oscar contest. It's not what you're expecting. The contest is based on correctly identifying movie stills, with the nominated actors and actresses carefully replaced with Oscar the Grouch; the mission is to correctly identify the movies and people. It's really amusing, and sometimes quite challenging. FilmWise is the site offering the contest, which evolved out of a different sort of quiz called "Invisibles",
www.filmwise.com/invisibles/index.shtml, where the actors are completely removed; it's the visual equivalent of a "Name that Quote" competition. They have a different set of stills each week, and if you're a film enthusiast, I highly recommend trying your eye. (Thanks to Good Experience,
