DAYTON \u2014 The Dayton area has a vote in this year\u2019s Academy Awards, but no nominees to match 2010\u2019s best documentary short contender \u201cThe Last Truck.\u201d<\/p>\n
One of that film\u2019s co-directors, Julia Reichert, is a first-year member of the Academy of Motion Pictures Arts and Sciences.<\/p>\n
That makes her one of about 6,000 people whose votes were counted to decide the winners that will be announced tonight when the Academy Awards air on ABC.<\/p>\n
Reichert completed her secret ballot in mid-February and sent it off to PricewaterhouseCoopers for tabulation.<\/p>\n
A three-time Oscar-nominated independent filmmaker, faculty member at Wright State University and resident of Yellow Springs, Reichert believes she may be the only Ohio resident who votes on the Oscars. The Academy won\u2019t disclose its complete membership, but has publicized the names of those invited to join the past few years.<\/p>\n
