The Academy enlisted Everyone Counts an electronic voting company whose clients include the back in January to help develop a secure system for voting online. Maybe toosecure.Pete Hammond of Deadlinewrites that the system is "so loaded with specific safeguards and military-type encryption methodsto keep hackers and imposters out that it is causing extreme frustration for some of those who have tried to vote." One member joked (we think) to The Hollywood Reporter'sScott Feinberg that "it's easier to break into the CIA." Everyone Counts, as a CNN article about online voting in political contests, "uses 'military-grade encryption' for its ballots, and can also provide a paper trail for clients who want it, [CEO Lori] Steele says."

Feinberg and Hammond both detail the new Oscar voting process, which includes forcing members to create an elaborate second password (beyond the one for main access to the Academy's site) and enter a security code that arrives via phone call or text message. Which sounds kind of like, say, resetting your online banking password, butremember, as Feinberg notes, theLos Angeles Times.Though certainly not all people over the age of 60 are computer illiterate, Feinberg himselfthat "thefullstory is that more than a few members don't even have computers and/or know how to use the Internet, which would preclude them not only from streaming screeners, but also from filling out an e-ballot." There havebeen efforts to include voters who don't want to turn to the Internet, but now, amidst all the bubbling frustration, there's worry that some members will just give up altogether.

Voting for nominees closes January 3, and, as Hammond writes, the Academy is so secretive about this stuff that we may never get a good sense of turnout anyway. But we can't help but wonder: If the Oscar voting pool's of old white men gets diminished, does that mean some films could sneak to glory? Does it mean old white men-centriclike, say,Lincolncould suffer? Or could The Master, , or gasp! awards-season Beasts of the Southern Wildbreak free? We'll just have to wait and count the e-ballots, we guess.
