ZEJ Oscars Votes

Written By Zach Rhodes

It’s Oscars weekend, and it’s time to unveil the ZEJ team’s Oscars vote results! Check out each category below, ordered by ranked choice voting. First place votes are in parenthesis with the initial of that voter for each category.

Interestingly, there is just a single unanimous first place choice among the 21 categories this year - the Substance for Best Makeup and Hairstyling; whereas last year the ZEJ team agreed on 9 of the 21 categories.
