The new award category will allow fans to vote for their favorite film of the year,

Three fans who vote will get an all-expense-paid trip to the next edition of the Academy Awards.

Fans can vote up to 20 times per day for their movie of choice.

The voting process for the new category is open to fans in the United States only.

The Oscars initially jettisoned the new category plan in 2018.
