In which journalists and pop culture fanatics Kylie Klein Nixon and Emily Brookes tear into one of The Hollywood Reporter’s most beloved Oscars traditions.

Every year, one of the Oscar events Kylie looks forward to is the Hollywood Reporter’s Brutally Honest Oscar Ballot, where an anonymous Academy voter dishes on how they approached the vote that year.
It’s often a bit of an eye opener and usually a bit of a laugh. Part of the fun is in trying to guess who the secret voter is.
But this year… this year, Ms Anon was a real piece of work.
All we know for sure is that:
Our guesses: Well… We came up with Faye Dunnaway, Glenn Close, Jane Fonda… but the only thing their public personas have in common with Ms Anon is that they’re Boomers. So we got nuthin’. Who do you think it is? Let us know.

Still keen to read the Brutally Honest Oscar Ballot? You can do that here. When you’re done, drop back and tell us what you think of Ms Anon's picks and who you think it could be.
While we were recording THR shared another Brutally Honest Oscar Ballot, this time by a male member of the academy. Have a read and let us know what you think.
And if you want to hear the song our female voter couldn’t remember if “you put a gun to her head” here’s Brendan Urie singing Into The Unknown, sorry for the earworm.
