The 10 finalists have been revealed for the 2015 Doritos Crash The Super Bowl contest. Just shy of 4,900 submissions from 29 countries the final 10 does not come without some controversy online...there are no women finalists, what was originally a contest open to amateur film makers, it seems most work in the industry, and sadly one of the finalists (Trouble in the Back Seat) appears to be an obvious copy of the TBWA/PHS, Helsinki created ad "Drama Queen" (see it below and judge for yourself). In no particular order the finalists are listed below.
