Madonna's "W.E." is a passionate tale about the search for true love in the modern world, viewed through the prism of one of history's most fabled romances. The year is 1998, and Manhattan is abuzz with anticipation about the upcoming auction of the estate of the Duke and Duchess of Windsor.  But the auction is far more than a diversion for Wally Winthrop (Abbie Cornish), a transplanted Southerner trapped in an unhappy and abusive marriage.  Transfixed by the exquisite artifacts of the Windsors' lives, Wally becomes obsessed with the love story of Wallis Simspon (Andrea Riseborough), the chic, charismatic American who captured the heart of King Edward VIII (James D'Arcy).   As she learns more about the sacrifices Wallis made in choosing to be with Edward, Wally finds the courage to follow her own heart and create her own happiness. Madonna directed and co-wrote the screenplay.

The film opens February 3, 2012.

In celebration, The Weinstein Company is sponsoring a Biggest Madonna Fan sweepstakes. The winner gets a bunch of Madonna "artifacts"--how exquisite, you be the judge. The prize is a Madonna Sticky & Sweet Tour Blu-ray, Madonna: The DVD Collector's Box, Madonna Confessions book, and an Official Madonna 2012 calendar.

What? No autograph? No pencil or pen once used by the iconic singer-actress-writer-director? No exquisite artifacts

Sounds like a missed opportunity. But if you're still wanting to enter, here's the link.
