... I mean Academy may want to reward a big movie that was filmed in California.
ANYHOW... to address the original post about the ad in Variety, please keep in mind that how studios handle this kind of marketing of their properties is something they do very carefully and take very seriously. Something we absolutely don't want to do is upset Universal, so please contact a Uni rep before taking out such an ad and ensure that they approve of the effort (they will likely place a similar ad themselves.) You may also want to make a point of indicating in the ad that the ad was created and funded by fans not affiliated with Universal. As far as I know, a fan-made "for your consideration" ad is completely unprecedented, and I have no idea what sort of affect it would have on voters.

Original Screenplay
Original Score
Editing
Costuming
Visual Effects
Production Design

and of course, Best Lead Actor (for our Mr. Reynolds)

I honestly, truly believe that Joss deserves Best Director. I mean, just look at some of those shots!
