In order to win, customers needed to predict all seven categories correctly:  Best Picture, Best Director, Best Actor, Best Actress, Best Supporting Actor, Best Supporting Actress and Best Animated Film. “I have been entering this [Predict the Oscars] contest for years and I thoroughly enjoy going to the movies,” Perlich said.  “It’s a fantastic, wonderful surprise that I won the Grand Prize and my husband is SO excited to be joining me to enjoy the movies this year.” Perlich only filled out one ballot for the 2014 Predict the Oscars Contest, and has been mesmerized by the storytelling of movies since she was a small child.
