(FORTUNE Small Business) – For Oscar month: the FSB Entys for video rentals with entrepreneurial elan. Best Market Research: Risky Business (a hooker with a heart of Visa Gold helps Tom Cruise earn $8,000 in a night); Best Low-Overhead Startup: Being John Malkovich (also Best Portal); Best Bumbling Biz: Small Time Crooks (cookie dough equals serious bread); Best Entrepreneur Just Born Different: Rushmore (extracurricular-mad Max also raises $2,500 for a school aquarium); Best Big Personality: Citizen Kane ('nuff said).
