The voting begins!—9:46 AM
Check this space daily to make your voice heard in this year's Movie Tournament (of Movies). We'll vote weekdays this month and crown a winner the Monday after Oscar. Happy voting!
We begin by pitting mustachioed wordsmith Will Shortz against precocious photo printer shill Abigail Breslin. Some of us are voting for which movie we like more; some go by which is the more "important" or "artistically relevant" film – but let's face it, most of us just vote for which one we hate less.
To paraphrase Churchill: "The annual onebee Movie Tournament (of Movies) is the worst possible system, except for all the others." Go to it, in the name of freedom!
