The 1999 Gene Siskel Oscar Contest

Back in 1970 the Chicago Tribune's noted film critic
Gene
Siskel came up with the idea of challenging his
readers to
beat his Oscar predictions and win a cash prize. Gene
wrote
special reviews for each of his choices and took great

pleasure in his 80% accuracy rate. This year the
Tribune is
presenting the contest one more time as a tribute to
Siskel
who passed away earlier this year. If you think you
can beat
the Tribune editors surf by the site and enter your
predictions for a chance to win.
First prize is $2,000.
Second prize is $1,000.
Third prize is $500.
