It's a chance for college students to really get an idea of what it's like to be a Red Carpet media correspondent during the Academy Awards. The lucky top three are flown to Hollywood to be a part of pre-Oscars events, and the winning team is actually put to work on The Red Carpet on Oscars Sunday.
This is my video from last year's competition (2010), where Terry Stackhouse and Zach Cusson of Emerson, won over Brandon McCaskill and Kiarra Hart of Florida A&M, and Rachel Berry and Christian Hartnett of Chapman University:
For 2011, out of 10 semifinalists, the top three that got the most votes by February 2nd have emerged. I've cast my vote and while I'm not telling you who I picked, you can vote for your favorite one now and until tomorrow, Friday, February 18th, at 5 PM, PST.
But of course you're going to have to see their videos, and they're placed below. The order is exactly the same as that used by MTV-U, and has no relationship to the team this blogger picked.
After looking at the videos, click on the link at the bottom marked VOTE, scroll down to the middle of the page where the selections appear, then login to the MTV-U community, and make your selection.
Blake Mitchell and David Torcivia - University of Georgia (UGS)
Luz Pena and Philip Robibero - Hofstra University
Sarah Erickson and Joel Kutz - University of Southern California (USC)
Ok. All done? Now cast your VOTE!
Stay tuned to this space for more Academy Awards info and content. Once again, I'll be on the Red Carpet with the winners, but this time with a group of very cool video-bloggers: Marla Schulman of Life After Kids TV, Jen Friel of Talk Nerdy To Me Lover, and Milena Merrill. Also, Rachel Berry, from the 2010 Competition, will appear to give her take.
Later!
