The Oscars will switch to an electronic voting system that hackers totally won't be able to touch so don't even try
The Academy has announced that it plans to implement by 2013 an electronic voting system that could allow it to collect and tabulate Oscar votes much quicker, thereby making it theoretically possible to move the ceremony up to January or earlier in February, and at last become only the 15th or 16th film awards show of the year. The system was first hinted at in 2010, but there have been several stumbling blocks since—not least the potential threat of hackers who could stuff the Best Picture ballot box for LOLMEGABONERZZZ or the like, but also the Academy’s aged membership, who don’t use the Internet because they don’t want to catch one of those “viral videos” they’re always hearing about.
