Actor/Sup. Actress) and NOT MORE THAN TWO NOMINATIONS in TOTAL. Nominations in the BIGGEST BREAKTHROUGH category don't count towards the film, though, so you can ignore them. - just pick ONE film that you think was overlooked the most.

Solid choices. I would love to see Inherent Vice or Filth there, but still.

BEST HORROR FILM OF 2014


The Purge: Anarchy
Oculus
The Babadook
Under the Skin
Paranormal Activity: The Marked Ones



Since not enough votes have been cast, there is no runner-up in this category.

Gugu Mbatha-Raw (Belle, Beyond the Lights, actress)
Damien Chazelle (Whplash, director, screenwriter)
Dan Gilroy (Nightcrawler, director, screenwriter)

Stacy Martin.

Three people actually voted Rosamund Pike here

David has some sway around here.

Best Song is coming up.

BEST SONG


"Glory" (Selma)
"Lost Stars" (Begin Again)
"Yellow Flicker Beat" (The Hunger Games: Mockingjay Part 1)
"I Love You All" (Frank)
"Everything is Awesome!!!" (The LEGO Movie)



Runner-Up: "Boom Clap" (The Fault in Our Stars) (missed by 4 points)

Load of shit.

"I Love You All."

Great lineup there.

Up next during an announcement that no one attends (man do I miss the older days of when more people cared, hehe) - Best Original Score

BEST ORIGINAL SCORE


Birdman
Interstellar
The Grand Budapest Hotel
Under the Skin
Gone Girl



Runner-Up: The Theory of Everything (missed by 16 points!)

I care, I CARE! Very pleased that Carrie Coon got nominated for Breakthrough.

Best Sound coming up now

The fact that Frank got in for Best Song just proves that David has some serious power around these parts. Bunch of sheep. Only 4 people reviewed it in the review thread.

Best Song is the only category, in which you can vote without seeing the film because listening to the song suffices.

Whoo! Obvious Child! Skeleton Twins is a nice nomination although I didn't vote for it because I didn't particularly find it to be a comedy.

Whiplash missed on Best Original Score KJ is fucking retarded!

BEST SOUND


Interstellar
Whiplash
Birdman
Fury
Under the Skin


Runner-Ups: Guardians of the Galaxy and Edge of Tomorrow (missed by 1 point each!)

I like Charli XCX and FIOS but Boom Clap is kinda terrible, good that it didn't get a nom.

Fair enough, but I doubt people actually listened to it, and if they did, then they just have shit taste.

if Under the Skin gets in the main categories....
