Remember when I said that we were going to award the very best films of 2023.

I believe we have.

Send those votes!

How do we vote? Just pick the winners or rank them

Just one pick

Eh, the same five or six films in every category

Get those votes in! I'll try to send out a mass PM before I go out tonight.

Get those votes in! I'll try to send out a mass PM before I go out tonight.

Ok I sent out a reminder PM to everyone who has voted before but hasn't yet. You get 24ish more hours! Will start the ceremony tomorrow in late afternoon / early evening.

Through 11 ballots, BP is still very close, but one category is a bloodbath. Like damn, I might have to report you all for multiple homicides.

I'm here, Atreides.

Have one more ballot to count, then some maths to do and maybe look up some info on the winners and stuff I dunno. I do know that I'll start around 4pm EST. So if there are any last minute ballots you can still send them. Just please don't make best picture a tie again.
