‘The Disaster Artist’: Re-Create Your Favorite Scene From ‘The Room,’ Win The Tommy Award
  |  @   |  

There’s been whispers that The Disaster Artist, a movie about the making of Tommy Wiseau‘s infamous movie The Room starring James Franco as Wiseau, could be a contender for the upcoming Academy Awards. And as any fan of Wiseau’s movie will tell you, a movie about that movie winning a damn Oscar, well, that would just be magnificent.

But while we wait to see if the movie will score any nominations, A24 has gone ahead and created their own award. It’s called the Tommy Award, and you (yes, you!) can win it. All you have to do is re-create your favorite scene from The Room…in public…and share it online for the world to see. So I won’t be winning a Tommy Award, and that makes me sad. But you (yes, YOU!) still can. Continue below to find out how, and to check out the latest trailer for The Disaster Artist.

A24 presents The Tommy®, an award for uninhibited creative expression inspired by Tommy Wiseau.

To enter, shoot a video of you and your friends performing your favorite scene from The Room. There’s just one rule: the scene must be performed in public. All the world’s a stage, after all, right?
