Train to Busan is one I believe many here would enjoy. And, of course, The Handmaiden.
I think both of those already have a following. I have only seen two eligible foreign language films, so might not even bother submitting that category. I've seen zero documentaries.

Lol I'm editing mine to put The Witch in my foreign language films as well in place of My Golden Days. Their speech is completely non-decipherable.

It really is. You'll never understand everything being said if you aren't watching with subtitles. I saw it twice theatrically and couldn't wait to watch it with subtitles. I wish they would have had subtitles in the theater.

Just watched The Neon Demon and Hell or High Water, and have just sent my ballot.

I also have Sausage Party, Train to Busan, Anthropoid, and The Birth of a Nation downloaded, but they will not make it onto the ballot. I shall have to enjoy those after the deadline.

I would think that's a good goal for voting. Noms is always lower.

I will send mine 2.5 hours from now...it's pretty set, except for a few last categories...

What should I look for in a film for the art direction?
Breakthrough I'm still pondering too.
And how do best sound and best score really differ?
Also still have funniest comedy open, but won't have trouble filling that.

From Wikipedia:

Quote:
The art director makes decisions about visual elements used, what artistic style to use, and when to use motion.

One of the most difficult problems that art directors face is to translate desired moods, messages, concepts, and underdeveloped ideas into imagery. During the brainstorming process, art directors, co-workers, and clients are engaged in imagining what the finished piece or scene might look like. At times, an art director is ultimately responsible for solidifying the vision of the collective imagination while resolving conflicting agenda and inconsistencies between the various individual inputs.


stuffp wrote:

Sound is everything, not just the music. It is how the sound in songs/score mixes with the rest of the sound. It is clarity. It is perhaps if there is a style to the sound. It can be many things. Was it memorable for you? How does the director use ambient noise to add to the overall score of the picture? Unique sounds that you think of when you think of the film? If you really still have no idea, just use your best score nominees. ;)

For me, I value clarity like in the Heat shootout. And when I cannot hear dialogue sometimes, that would stop me from giving any sound noms. Hope all that helps.

Art direction is sets and environments.

Score is music, sound is sound effects.

Simply put, yes. But even simply put, sound is much more than just sound effects.
