The proceedure is fairly simple: Reply to this message with your top picks in each category (up to five per category per person.) I and my partners in crime (heh) will count the number of nods given to each movie, and the top five will then go on to the next round.
This is the official nomination thread. Noms posted in any thread except this official thread will be void and will not be counted. To make it easier on myself and the others, I have decided that noms will ONLY be valid if posted in that thread. I will NOT take nominations in any other form, such as PM, IM or email. This is just the nomination round. When voting happens, it may or may not be different, but for just nominations, everything MUST be posted in this thread. Thanks for understanding. Also, <b>absolutely no discussion</b> is allowed in this thread. Comments on why the movie was so good, or what you liked/disliked about it, should not be posted here, for my ease when counting noms. This thread is for noms only; there will come a time to comment if you wish to. <b>Anyone making comments in their nomination post other than the actulal nominations will not be allowed to perticipate in this round and their noms will be disqualified.</b> For a general idea of what I'm looking for you to do in this thread, here's an example.
Copy the text below and then underneath each category write your nominees, like so:
If you do this (see below) you will be disqualified:<b>Best Animated Feature</b>
1) Movie Title Here
2) Movie Title Here
3) Movie Title Here
4) Movie Title Here
5) Movie Title Here
Get it?<b>Best Animated Feature</b>
1) Movie Title Here because it was great and I loved the songs, blah blah blah, etc. etc....
(Psst. Your line is "Got it.")
Good.
Nominations will run through Sunday, March 13th. Since we won't be tallying them until after that date, you can edit and/or change your nominations until but not including Monday, March 14th. After that, if anyone edits their nominations, their nominations will be void.
Any questions, feel free to PM, IM, or email me. Thanks.
<b>Special notes:</b> For our purposes, as the founder of Our Oscars, I am considerign Pirates of the Caribbean an ORIGINAL screenplay as opposed to an adapted one. Even though the movie does contain numerous refrences to the ride, since the ride had no real story, the writers had to come up with their own original storyline and concept. Thus the basis of my considering it original.
Also - unless anyone has objections to it, I'd like to allow Sarah and Emma Boldger to be ONE entry in the Best Actress race. Their performances in In America were so brilliant in part because, as sisters, they had incredible chemestry, and it would be impossible for me to single out just one of them as having done a better job than the other. They really had a genuine enthusiasm for the movie and brought a lot to it because they were able to play off each other so well. Again, if anyone has any objections to this, I'll split them, but if not, then it shall stand.
So without further ado...here are the categories for Our Oscars 2003!
