Even more examples: Oscars

Events like the Oscars Academy Awards seem to be very popular when it comes to quizzes as a form of online journalism. I've also managed to find a survey on it!!

After posting about the BBC Oscars quiz (which is very impressive), I have found a few more I would like to share with you all.

http://abcnews.go.com/GMA/Oscars2006/popup?id=1667246 - This is ABCNews.com's quiz. There are only five questions, but would interest anybody who has an interest in films - which is would obviously target in its reports about films and the Oscars.

http://abcnews.go.com/Entertainment/Oscars2006/story?id=1674738&entertainment=true - We return to ABCNews.com, but this time for a survey! It was asking visitors to vote who they think would win some categories. It then gives you results for each category. Great to see if other viewers are voting for the same as you! There is a mini-survey about George Clooney at: http://abcnews.go.com/2020/popup?id=1670980

http://cbs2.com/entertainment/local_story_053074742.html - Not the best "technically" quiz design, but still a fun quiz for movie-lovers. You cannot actually select an answer, so it doesn't produce any results for you at the end.

http://www.channel4.com/film/chatvotewin/quiz/O/oscars.jsp - I have been looking to see if Channel 4 had been linking to this in their news stories, but so far I have found no evidence of this - but I will keep looking.
