An Education Giveaway

I have one DVD copy of Best Picture nominee An Education (2009) to hand out to a reader. The film, set in 60s London, is about a teenage student Jenny (Oscar nominated Carey Mulligan) and the older man (Peter Sarsgaard) who seduces her away from her college preparations. His glamourous friends aid in the seduction (Dominic Cooper and Rosamund Pike are the movie's secret weapons), her parents (Cara Seymour, Alfred Molina) get confused and her educators (Olivia Williams, Emma Thompson) worry and fume.


Pretty soon all the Best Actress nominees will be out on DVD (Helen Mirren in The Last Station is the lone holdout) and the debate about who was really deserving in that Meryl vs. Sandra vs. Gabby vs. Carey vs. Helen cluster can start up all over again. Joy!

This giveaway is open to all readers -- just bear in mind that the DVD will be in the American format so you'll need an all region player if you're watching it elsewhere. To enter, send an email by Friday April 2nd with "EDUCATION" in the subject line. Include:
  1. Your name
  2. Your shipping address
  3. And the answer to this question: Which movie actor or actress could easily derail your education should they turn their bedroom eyes your way?
The winner will be drawn randomly but I might share a few answers to #3 as long as y'all keep it PG-13!
