Post subject:  10th Annual WOKJ MP Awards - Announcement Thu 6pm EST!
Here we are again. After last year's terrific turnout, I am hoping for another huge number of ballots. Anything below 40 won't make me happy!

Please read the rules and the procedure carefully. I have implemented slight changes.

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 (if less than 10 votes are received in this category, the category wil be skipped)
Best Foreign Language Film (if less than 10 votes are received in this category, the category wil be skipped)
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


DEADLINE: Tuesday, January 28th, 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.

For the first time ever, I think I'll have seen everything I want to by the deadline. Except Rush which doesn't come out on blu-ray till the 28th... I doubt that would have a huge impact on my noms anyways.

Anyways it seems like Gravity is the heavy favorite going in, but it also seemed like Dark Knight Rises would easily win last year and Silver Linings Playbook destroyed it.

All Edgar fans should obviously put World's End in their top passion spot. I doubt it will make much of a difference though, I think only like 5 of us loved it that much.

So let's get Man of Steel into Best Picture instead. Imagine the outrage from half the community? It would be beautiful. And Man of Steel deserves it anyways. My second favorite film of the year, and the best blockbuster by a mile.

I still need to see Her.

There are others, too, including The Invisible Woman and Labor Day, but they won't factor into these awards anyway.

I urge everyone to see Rush and Side Effects before voting!

So I have like 100 movies to see in 3.5 weeks? Cool.

I urge everyone to see All Is Lost, Blue Is the Warmest Color, Byzantium, and Stories We Tell. The latter two are available on home video and digital download! No excuses!

I have yet to see Her, American Hustle, Dallas Buyers Club, The Great Beauty, The Hunt, The Spectacular Now, Fruitvale Station, Saving Mr. Banks and Short Term 12. I'll hope I'll get to at least half of those before the deadline.
Author:  Magic Mike [ Thu Jan 02, 2014 10:12 pm ]
Post subject:  Re: 10th Annual WOKJ Motion Picture Awards - Nominations vot
I definitely want to see Short Term 12 and Her before voting.

I hope I can catch Wolf of Wall Street before the deadline - its released that weekend here.

I also need to see Her, Llewellyn Davis, Fruitvale Station, Saving Mr Banks, Short Term 12 Years a Slave, Byzantium and Nebraska. I'll be happy with seeing half.

I still have to see Wolf but it comes out on 7th here so no issue. I need to see Short Term 12, Nebraska, ILD and Her before nominations....hope to catch those before 27th.

Some of you either haven't been faithful in your Films in Review tally or are lying in this thread. I'm pretty sure, for example, that Dr. Lecter hasn't seen all 2013 movies but the nine he mentions.

No shit. That doesn't mean he has to see everything.

What do you mean by "all"? Obviously I have not seen every single one. But I am also not posting in the "Films in Review" thread, so you have no idea how many I have seen (though my occupation should tell you that I, most likely, have seen more than anyone else on here, maaaayybe except for David). I have seen over 250 movies in theatres last year. Out of the Top 150 of 2013 (below) I haven't seen 36 films.

http://boxofficemojo.com/yearly/chart/?yr=2013&p=.htm

Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs 2 is the highest-grossing film I haven't seen yet, followed by Anchorman 2. Those I have mentioned are the ones I consider to be potentially largerly relevant to my voting. I also haven't seen The Smurfs 2, all of Tyler Perry's flicks or Instructions Not Included, but I doubt either would be of my relevance to my voting.

Since my not-seen list is similar, I'll just highlight those from your list that I haven't seen. Additionally I haven't seen 47 Ronin, Saving Mr. Banks, American Hustle, Anchorman 2, 42 and Texas Chainsaw 3D. I am pretty sure I'll see 47 Ronin, American Hustle and 42 before voting.
