Alternate Oscars — New Two-Round Acting Game: 1990 Winners
We’ve completed the nomination round, and now it’s time to choose the winners.
The five performances with the most points in each category in Round One are now the official nominees.
ROUND TWO — WINNERS
This round is much simpler.
Vote for ONE nominee in each of the four acting categories.
That means your ballot should contain four names in total:
- 1 Actor
- 1 Actress
- 1 Supporting Actor
- 1 Supporting Actress
There are no rankings and no points system in this round. You are simply voting for the performance you think should win each category.
Each vote counts equally, and the nominee with the most votes in each category will become our Alternate Oscar winner for 1990.
Please only vote for the nominees listed below.
