An Oscar is supposed to be forever. It's meant to stand the test of time, to mark an eternal milestone in cinematic achievement. Until now. This year, Entertainment Weekly orchestrated an Oscar recall, asking Hollywood's elite to rethink the votes they cast in five previous Academy Awards contests. The industry has revoted. And here and now we're tearing open the envelopes to reveal the new winners. And losers. EW mailed our own ''Recall the Gold'' ballots to agents, producers, directors, actors, and other film professionals. We focused on five years 2003, 1998, 1993, 1988, and 1983 (picked with no agenda other than that they were 5, 10, 15, 20, and 25 years ago) and limited the revoting to the biggest categories (Best Picture, directing, and acting). We also polled readers on EW.com to see how they would divvy up the gold with the benefit of hindsight.
