Predict the Oscars Contest Announces Winner at Ogden 6 Theatre

Speeches were made, “selfies” taken, pizza shared and the 2014 Oscars
ceremony has now come to a close. After hours of sorting and counting, Classic
Cinemas is proud to announce the winners of the Annual “Predict the Oscars” contest. Riverside resident Ed Kunevich takes home the prize for
the Ogden 6 Theatre, and will receive a yearlong movie pass for one valid at
any Classic Cinemas theatre, and two passes to the Brookfield Zoo
Kunevich
submitted his ballot at 1227 E. Ogden Ave in Naperville.



“This year’s group of Oscar winners was a bit ‘more predictable’ than
others, which opened the field for more patrons to receive prizes for their
correct predictions,” explained Classic Cinemas Vice President Chris Johnson. “We
were quite impressed by the number of patrons who participated in our annual
Oscar contest, and are pleased that movies continue to engage, enlighten and
entertain our loyal customers.”



This year, winners range from 27 to 80 years old, and over 7,608
ballots were cast during the six-week contest. In order to win, customers
needed to predict all seven categories correctly:  Best Picture, Best Director, Best Actor, Best Actress, Best
Supporting Actor, Best Supporting Actress and Best Animated Film.

At 71-years-old, Kunevich considers himself a movie buff and said he
has seen a lot of movies over the years, including four of the 2014 Oscar
winning films. He visits the Ogden 6 and North Riverside Mall Theatres at least
once a month with his wife and granddaughters. Kunevich entered two ballots
this year and was surprised to learn he won.



“There are only a limited amount of questions asked, and I figured a
number of people would probably get the right answer but I hadn’t considered
the odds of winning,” said Kunevich.

Classic Cinemas received 255 correct ballots this year, and each of the
13 theatres selected one winner from the correct ballots at that location. The
remaining correct ballots entered at the Ogden 6 Theatre will
receive a pair of movie passes to any Classic Cinemas location and a pair of
tickets to the Brookfield Zoo.
