The Official Oscars Challenge gives Oscar fans an opportunity to predict winners in the 24 categories, and also challenge their Facebook friends to play along. Ballots can also be submitted for a chance to win exclusive prizes, including:

- Runner-Up: Three day/two-night trip for two to Los Angeles, California, to attend a red-carpet premiere of Disney and Jerry Bruckheimer Films’ “Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales” in April/May 2017.
