Let's do this one more time.

PLEASE, read the rules and the procedure before voting.

Voting Process:


Send me your five nominees for each category below. What is important is that you RANK your nominees from #1 to #5 because of the points system. UNRANKED BALLOTS will NOT be counted.

If you cannot come up with five nominees for each category, then send me less, but I would REALLY prefer if you all tried to come up with 5 for each category.


The Categories:

Best Picture (only five nominees here)
Best Director
Best Actor
Best Actress
Best Supporting Actor
Best Supporting Actress
Best Ensemble
Best Original Screenplay
Best Adapted Screenplay
Best Animated Feature
Best Documentary
Best Foreign Language Film
Best Cinematography
Best Editing
Best Original Score
Best Original Song
Best Makeup
Best Visual Effects
Best Art Direction
Best Costume Design
Breakthrough of the Year (before or behind the camera)
Best Sound
Best Horror Film of the Year
Funniest Comedy of the Year

- Best Foreign Language Film and Best Documentary categories: to be nominated a film has to appear on at least three ballots. A mimimum of three films (each) need to reach that threshold for the category to be active. Also, as before, if less than ten people vote in either of these categories, the category will also be skipped.


DEADLINE: Wednesday, February 14th, midnight PST


Send the RANKED ballot to me before the deadline!

DON'T FORGET TO RANK THE NOMINEES FROM 1 to 5!

You are allowed to change/upgrade your ballot until the deadline. If you do so, send me the entire corrected ballot, not just the corrected category.

Important: Do not vote for any movies that you have NOT seen. If I have a grounded suspicion that this is the case, I will call you out on that.

Lets go Wonder Woman!

Welcome back Dr. Lecter!

Doc!!!!!!!!

Can we have a category where you nominate a few indie genre films from your festivals? I really missed those this year.

I think I will too. I can’t imagine anything else I could see this week would make much of a dent.

I’m seeing Justice Leagur this weekend, then I’ll send it.

Shoot good thing I checked the deadline. Will try and do my ballot today.

My ballot is pretty weak, but I sent some picks in

Because I will not have time to count the votes before that anyway, I am extending the deadline until Wednesday.

How many so far?

18. Anyone care to send out reminders last minute?

C'mon, folks, let's bring it at least to 20. Even if you just lurk and don't wanna post anymore, vote! I won't tell

I skipped a few categories, as I don't have time to get through it all before I leave work.

Yuck I thought we could get 25+ with Black Panther hype bringing people to the forum.

By my count we’ve also had more than 18 people post in the three threads. SO SOMETHING AINT ADDING UP RIGHT. Are we sure the Russians aren’t intercepting your PMs?

I guess we need a special prosecutor to investigate this.

Oh god, please not Groucho. He is more special needs than special prosecutor.

I wish I had watched Suburbicon before voting. Not that it would have done much good because nobody else has seen it or loved it enough to also vote for it, but I would have included it for cinematography, art direction, costume design, screenplay, ensemble, and probably Oscar Isaac for Supporting Actor. Ah well.

Did we make it to 20?

We did and actually a few more than that.

Good job KJ!!

Lecter, do you still accept nominations? If yes, I'll PM you mine.

As long as you send it within the next few hours, sure.
