Oscar's E-Voting Problems Worse Than Feared (Analysis)
http://j.mp/UBoeOz (Hollywood Reporter)
Voting to determine the next set of Oscar nominees began Dec. 17 and
will extend through Jan. 3. On Dec. 26, I reached out to a wide
cross-section of the Academy to see if they tried to vote online (an
Academy spokesperson tells me that "a great majority" of members have
registered to do so) and, if so, to characterize their experience.
Roughly half of the members reached said they experienced problems
navigating the site; more than one described it as a "disaster." They
also worried that hackers could compromise the Oscar vote.
