OnTheRedCarpet.com has teamed up with the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences to launch the Oscar College Journalist contest. The deadline for submissions is February 5. Here is the official press release:
"Students are invited to submit a 3-minute video to redcarpetjournalist.com, showcasing their interviewing skills and proving why they deserve to represent future broadcast journalists at the Oscars. All videos submitted must be from teams made up of one reporter, one producer and one videographer."
"Two teams will be selected from each of the ABC-owned television stations' markets - Chicago, Fresno, Houston, Los Angeles, New York, Philadelphia, Raleigh and San Francisco - for a total of 16 finalist teams. These 16 teams will then be judged by an expert panel composed of representatives from the Academy and KABC-TV who will determine the contest winner."
"The winning team will be flown out to Los Angeles to cover Academy Awards pre-events, including the Animated Feature Symposium, Foreign Language Film Award press event, the Makeup Artists and Hairstylists Symposium and the Governors Ball preview. Additionally, the winning team will have the exclusive opportunity to work with KABC-TV's OTRC team and report live during the "On The Red Carpet at the Oscars" pre-show (1:30-4 p.m. PT)."
The 84th annual Academy Awards are set to air live on ABC on Feb. 26, 2012 from the Kodak Theatre in Los Angeles.
Nine films are up for best picture, including Martin Scorsese's "Hugo," which leads the pack with 11 nominations, "The Descendants" starring George Clooney and "The Artist," a black and white silent film.
Check out a full list of nominations for the 2012 Oscars, which will be hosted by Billy Crystal in what will mark his ninth stint.
