I've begun writing it...I'll post/PM it soon.

Awesome, thanks urban!

PEACE, Mike.

Yikes! I SWARE you'll have my ballot VERY soon. Working on it now Mike

Thanks a billion Zach!

PEACE, Mike.

Whale Rider and Potter 4 take them all, ther the two best films since 2000

Harry Potter 4 would not be eligible. Remember, this is the half-decade awards from year 2000 to year 2004 (which is 5 years, or half a decade). 2005 films are not part of it (the year also just ended, so it wouldn't be accurate enough to include them - a lot of people see more films over a longer period of time).

PEACE, Mike.

im almost finish Mike!!

i just need to think on scores and supporting Actors/Actresses

Yeah don't worry about me Mike, I have five years worth of old Entertainment Weekly Oscar issue magazines that'll serve as excellent references

Hehe, yeah, that's a good idea.

Thanks a lot guys! I look forward to getting your ballots soon! Once I start getting them in, I'll have a better indication of how many ballots we will get and how it's going. Keep it up! Tell your friends! Where's loyal, Zingaling, Dr. Lecter, Dolcevita, etc?? The rest of you I know are working on a ballot.

PEACE, Mike.

The deadline is approaching! Where are everyone's ballots?? I haven't gotten a single one in since the last update, meaning you guys haven't really been working hard on them at all.

EDIT: Since the 2005 MPA Awards are coming up just before the Oscars, and I'm going on a trip to New York anyways (and won't be able to count until afterwards), I'm going to extend the period a few more days. Might as well. The new deadline will be Monday, March 6th, 2006. I would like have at least some ballots in very soon though!

PEACE, Mike.

I decided not to vote for best director. Obviously, the more prolific people like Spielberg, Scott, and the Coens are going to have an advantage. And people like Jackson, Raimi and Singer also have franchises on their side. Or against them depending on the way you look at it. And then there's Alfonso Cuaron, who made a great movie, and a better than expected Harry Potter, but does that give him points? I guess I gotta abstain.

Considering that a lot of of sequels find themselves improving, should we have a category for five film series/franchises? It's probably a little late in the game, but it might be a good place to keep Jackson and company out of the "overall directors", which achnowledging their consistent output of quality films? Whether it should be a rule that the first chapter start after 2000, I do think a hard and fast rule should only include series that have their majority of films in the last five years...therefore, the Matrix series could be included, but Star Wars could not.

There you go Mike!!

Well, two reasons.

1. I absolutely HATE the Animated Film category. If an animated film is great enough, it should be able to make your BEST FILM category. Why not put them as equals? They are all films, and can go under the Best Film category; no need to segregate them. Separating out the animated films is silly, in my opinion, especially since a lot of animated films just become fillers.

2. I wanted to strip these awards down to some basic categories for the films and acting, so it wasn't so burdensome to fill out a ballot. And then music and visual effects are probably the two most easily identifiable technical aspects of a film that all people can recognize and thus fill out. And then the foreign film category is so foreign films are not neglected. However, I can understand if not everyone could fill out the foreign film category, that is the one iffy one for most. I guess you could argue why segregate foreign films and not animated films, well, I personally believe there is more reason to. The foreign film category covers films from every country in the world except the US. There is a lot to choose from. And there are a ton of quality foreign films.

In other news, the ballot count is creeping up wonderfully!! I love it. I will announce the final count of ballots when the deadline is passed! All I have to say is THANK you SO much to everyone who has taken the time to send in a ballot! It is absolutely appreciated by me. Even if you haven't started yet, you've still got a few hours!! Hehe. Come on, you can do it.

PEACE, Mike.
