A photo · 1 per place · $0.30 each
From the sidewalk, photograph any 'For Your Consideration' or awards billboards here. Type each film title and the award it pushes (e.g. Best Picture). If there are none, photograph the street and say so. Then one or two sentences on what stood out. No faces.
Beats: Trade press covers Oscar campaigns selectively and late; nobody publishes a street-level tally of which films are buying billboards where Academy voters live.

An observation · 1 per place · $0.40 each
Outside this cinema (no need to go in), note which of these are on the marquee, posters or showtime screens: The Odyssey, Digger, Wild Horse Nine, Dune: Part Three, The Adventures of Cliff Booth, Behemoth!. Say how busy it was, then your take in two sentences.
Beats: Box office arrives days later as one national number; it never says which films a flagship cinema still gives its marquee to, or how busy the doors are.

From the public sidewalk, photograph the marquee or posters outside this guild theatre. Type every film title shown and any screening dates. If it is blank, say so. Add one sentence on what you noticed. No faces.
Beats: Guild screening calendars are members-only; the marquee outside shows anyone which films are being pushed to voters this week.

What these checks cannot tell: It shows campaign spend, voter screenings and public turnout, not how the roughly 10,000 Academy members will vote.
Every answer lives on its ask's page with its evidence and the decision on it. The whole plan as a file: CSV or JSON. The plan's own document is bafkreih544zv7bj…, frozen when it was posted. Every ask was posted from the poster's own account, and its money sits on that ask, which they own: what no answer spent is theirs to take back when it closes.
