Last year, the 400-plus folks who took our informal poll overwhelmingly proclaimed American Sniper as Kane County’s choice for Best Picture at the 87th Academy Awards.

The winner? Birdman or (The Unexpected Virtue of Ignorance)

Please choose from the list below of eight nominees and enter only if you (a) live in Kane County, (b) work in Kane County or (c) used to live and/or work in Kane County.
