IMDB Newsbit 2: The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences said today (Tuesday) that it has mailed out Oscar ballots for the 75th annual awards to its members. The announcement was made during a ceremony marking the first day of issue of postage stamps commemorating "American Filmmaking: Behind the Scenes," honoring filmmakers involved in art direction, cinematography, costume design, directing, film editing, makeup, music, screenwriting, sound and special effects. Producing is represented on the frame of the 10-stamp sheet. Academy members in each of those areas will receive a ballot affixed with the appropriate stamp.

(Lets hope they all reach the voters...like this guy -Xo)
