The Videogum Why Don’t YOU Caption It? Contest: The Annual Vanity Fair “Hollywood” Cover

It's here! The annual "Hollywood" issue of Vanity Fair! Each year, Vanity Fair publishes 4 issues with Johnny Depp on the cover, 6 issues with John F. Kennedy Jr. on the cover, one Royal Family issue, and of course the Hollywood issue. (What a great magazine! I think my favorite thing about it are the cover articles about Cher.) This year's Hollywood cover features the following actresses: Jennifer Lawrence, Mia Wasikowska, Jessica Chastain, Rooney Mara, Elizabeth Olsen, Lily Collins, Shailene Woodley, Paula Patton, Felicity Jones, Brit Marling, Adepero Oduye. I will give you one guess on whether the actresses of color appear on the outside of the magazine or folded up on the inside of the magazine. (Hint: "the 1997 hit film, Amistad.") (Vanity Fair could try to argue that the cover alignment simply represents a star's actual box office draw, except that I'm pretty sure more people saw Paula Patton's Mission Impossible: Ghost Protocol than all of the movies featuring the front cover actresses combined. Ding dong! I rest my case!) This is always a very fun caption contest because there are so many choices! Will you make a The Hunger Games joke about Jennifer Lawrence? Will you make a Rooney Mara joke about what is up with Rooney Mara? Will you make a who is Mia Wasikowska joke? It's up to you. YOU are the Hollywood big-shot now! (No, you aren't.)

Winner will receive special placement in this week's Monsters' Ball, also known as "A Civilian Oscar." (Click the image to enlarge.)
