ChD Posted May 19, 2013 Share Posted May 19, 2013 (edited) How are the picks counted? Here, Alpha stated that Portman had only 1 vote, but I'm pretty certain she was picked 3 times as Best Supporting Actress: Riczhang, Spaghetti and Hiccup picked her. Also, Heavy rain had one Best Ensemble pick, which I don't see being put there. Edited May 19, 2013 by ChD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ezen Baklattan Posted May 19, 2013 Share Posted May 19, 2013 Assuming TRIF wins no tiebreakers, it will have only been nominated for three awards, including Best Picture. That may be a record in this game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alpha Posted May 19, 2013 Author Share Posted May 19, 2013 So if riczhang submits his tiebreaker list sooner or later, we should be ready to move on to nominations, or tiebreakers for the tiebreakers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alpha Posted May 19, 2013 Author Share Posted May 19, 2013 I think what happened was I was sorting through the list and I had deleted Portman's name accidentally. But even then, she has only 3 votes. She needed a minimum of 4 to make it into the tiebreaker, meaning she missed it. So you can remove her from your lists. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, Heavy rain had one Best Ensemble pick, which I don't see being put there. I counted the picks by going through one category (i.e. Best Picture) and seeing how many people voted for that film. As most people do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Dark Alfred Posted May 19, 2013 Share Posted May 19, 2013 I might change my picks. Meryl Streep just walked into my cinema, can't say to her that I ranked her #4 in CAYOM. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChD Posted May 19, 2013 Share Posted May 19, 2013 The only lock I have is Best Adapted Screenplay for Heavy Rain, which basically means I was Nominated for an CAYOM Oscar. Can't complain. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blankments Posted May 19, 2013 Share Posted May 19, 2013 Best Original Song "Rock of Hollywood's Foundation" performed by Chuck Norris & Liam Neeson (ft. Dwanye Johnson, Joaquin Pheonix & Michael Bay), Chuck Norris and Liam Neeson vs. Santa Claus: Ultimate Badass - 6 Sorry, but I need to point this out: this is a villain song sung by Dwayne Johnson. Chuck Norris and Liam Neeson come at the very end. It should be performed by Dwayne Johnson (ft. Chuck Norris, Liam Neeson, Joaquin Phoenix, and Michael Bay.) I know this is nitpicking but it bothered me. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alpha Posted May 19, 2013 Author Share Posted May 19, 2013 Hopefully riczhang will get his tiebreakers done tonight, as I have a dying anticipation to announce the official nominations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
riczhang Posted May 19, 2013 Share Posted May 19, 2013 I will have them done tonight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alpha Posted May 19, 2013 Author Share Posted May 19, 2013 I laugh everytime I see Michael G Scott's sig. Because this girl has a lock for Best Actress this year. Anna Kendrick is a terrible, lousy, horrible, no good, very bad actress. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blankments Posted May 19, 2013 Share Posted May 19, 2013 Yeah... even though I started the infamous OW>150M thread, I'm glad I didn't enter any bets on STID. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alpha Posted May 20, 2013 Author Share Posted May 20, 2013 So tomorrow I have to wake up at 6 am, and I have only 10 minutes to get on the computer before it's time to go. I'm currently debating whether I should wait for riczhang's ballot, or I should just move on and post the nominees now. The best I can do is wait for riczhang, and then finish the nominees list as fast as possible tomorrow morning. But it's going to be rough.

4815162342 Posted May 20, 2013 Share Posted May 20, 2013 (edited) Why the rush for tomorrow morning? It could be later in the day. Your own post (the first post) says this thread would probably be open until Monday night. Edited May 20, 2013 by 4815162342 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
