Best Animated Feature
Best Documentary

Breakthrough of the Year (before or behind the camera)
Best Sound
Scariest Horror Film of the Year
Funniest Comedy of the Year

As usual, fill out your ballots and send them to me by ... let's say February 12 for the soft deadline, with the ceremony itself taking place the day before the oscars on March 11.

Advice for potential voters: You don't have to watch every movie. Just vote on what you've seen and liked and that will be good enough. If in doubt and you do want to watch more, check the Everyone's A Critic forum and it will be pretty easy to see what the big contenders will be.

So let's go and show those oscars what a real best picture lineup looks like!

Mia Goth for Pearl finally getting a nom somewhere pls!

Post subject:  Re: 19th Annual World of KJ Movie Awards
Is it OK if I put down multiple films for a person? Such as Ti West for X and Pearl, or does it need to be one film per person?

Post subject:  Re: 19th Annual World of KJ Movie Awards
Hmm I'd say that would be ok in the breakthrough category, but not in direction or writing where it would need to be two seperate entrees.

Same. If Mia Goth wants to be nominated for both roles then she has to campaign twice. :P

I'm waiting for Pearl to come on showtime since they struck a deal with A24. X came a few months after going digital so it's gotta be coming soon. If anyone still wants to see Everything, Everywhere All At Once that is on there too.

Post subject:  Re: 19th Annual World of KJ Movie Awards
OK. I don't want to waste two spots for her, so I'll ask everyone in this thread:

Which one are you more likely to choose for Mia Goth, Pearl or X?

Same goes for Ti West.

I did also have a double pick for Ralph Fiennes. Personally, I think his performance in The Forgiven is better than in The Menu, but there's no chance anybody will choose that over The Menu. Not even sure if anybody else has seen it!

Luca winning Best Animated Film is the best pick, imo.

Post subject:  Re: 19th Annual World of KJ Movie Awards
Luca does in retrospect look better following the garbage Turning Red/Lightyear/Strange World trilogy. But it doesn’t hold a candle to Encanto
Author:  Algren [ Sat Feb 04, 2023 12:34 am ]
Post subject:  Re: 19th Annual World of KJ Movie Awards
Encanto is loved, but I just have little interest in watching it. The same with Turning Red, Strange World, and Lightyear. It doesn't help when it comes to the KJ Awards' animated film ballot, but gone are the days when I would see every prominent movie by virtue of them being big and wanting to have an opinion on it. I reject so much these days - it has freed up my time greatly!

No ranking in the first ballot, but we rank them in the second (when the nominations are out).
Author:  Flava'd vs The World [ Sun Feb 05, 2023 8:45 pm ]
Post subject:  Re: 19th Annual World of KJ Movie Awards
Yes rank your nominations them by preference. First place gets 5 points (10 for best picture), second 4 (or 9 for bp) and so on down the line.

Post subject:  Re: 19th Annual World of KJ Movie Awards
Is there still two rounds of voting?
Author:  Algren [ Sun Feb 05, 2023 9:51 pm ]
Post subject:  Re: 19th Annual World of KJ Movie Awards
In years past, the first round where people send in their ballots, is not ranked. The second ballot where there is a nominations list, are ranked.
Author:  Flava'd vs The World [ Sun Feb 05, 2023 9:53 pm ]
Post subject:  Re: 19th Annual World of KJ Movie Awards
Yeah one ballot for nominees where you rank your favorites.

Then one after nominations are revealed where you pick one.

That's how I did it last time anyways. Pretty sure that's how Dr. Lecter always did it and he was the best at hosting.

Same here. At theatres it's a few big blockbusters and family films and then a few smaller year end indies or quality pics. Not much more than that.

Limited time + the fact that most films are either disappointing or unappealing helps with the reduction.

I'm gonna push the deadline / nomination ceremony to February 15th. This way everyone can enjoy the superbowl and valentines day, but we get our noms out before the new year truly begins with Quantumania.

Let's push it to Sunday the 19th :P. I have been so busy lately I haven't had much time to catch up. I would love some extra days to get in another few.

I can't do it sunday. Maybe Monday. Does that give people enough time to vote for the winners?
