As with the saying many years ago, " 'Ain't' ain't in the dictionary", but even if it has made its appearance in modern versions, it is incorrect. Use "isn't" in your example.

I'm from a part of the US that uses "ain't" frequently, but even I find it strange to see it written outside of a dialogue. As billmcd said, I'd stick to proper English when writing.

In addition to the use of "ain't", there is a problem with the verb in your sentence. The next Academy Awards is in the future -- "isn't winning" is present tense. Also "series" usually refers to television programs. Academy awards are for movies.
