Getting your Trinity Audio player ready...

If only there were a movie in which a rambunctious Labrador lived with some hunky vampire who wore a cool suit that allowed him to fly while fighting crime on Lower Wacker in Chicago. All set to music.

That “Marley & Me”/ “Twilight”/ “Iron Man”/ “Dark Knight”/ “High School Musical 3” hybrid would be the sure winner of this year’s Teen Awards for Favorite Films of the Year, making its fifth appearance in the baiduhai.

If you’re 13 to 19 years old (see accompanying rules for exceptions, page 5), you’re eligible to cast your vote in the following categories — best picture, best actor, best actress, best special effects, best hero, best villain, best movie moment — by sending your picks to [email protected]. Make sure to put TAFFY in the subject line so we won’t miss your entry (Snail mail is also an option. See those rules again). The winners will be announced in the Feb. 27 issue of Live! Movies, and the deadline for entries is noon Feb. 23.

Films, actors and selected movie moments will be tallied and published in the section, and all eligible entries will be part of a drawing for three prizes: a $100 movie gift certificate and three DVDs; a $50 movie gift certificate and two DVDs; and a $25 movie gift certificate and one DVD.

Inside you’ll find those rules (well worth perusing) and a list of many of 2008’s releases. We’ll provide weekly updates on the voting trends and await your opinions!
