The 2014 Box Office Awards (pre-voting business to discuss)

6

ranking

no horror or doc

[Ezen Baklattan]

Act of Killing should be required viewing before voting for Picture or Documentary. I won't enforce it but the theatrical cut is a perfect film.

I would definitely make an effort to see it if it came to Ann Arbor, but alas.

[Gopher]

I just realized they pushed its VOD release date back to January 7 (it was supposed to come out this month). Damn. I wanted y'all to see it sooner.

There's no way J-Law beats Bullock here. Sure the Lawsbians are a big faction but the Bullock love here is beyond huge.

[Leyla]

hopefully no Jonah Hill   

Charlie Hannam for best actor

Let me start my youre next fyc for best horror right now

Yeah, it was pretty awesome.

[Blankments]

The only question I actually have opinion on is that I'd prefer five noms only.

[Jack Nevada]

I'm starting a FYC campaign for myself in January.

Modesty is a worthy quality for a Best Poster winner, Jack.

Well, I campaigned last year and got nominated in two categories. Plus my posts are better and I'm more liked than before. Edited November 28, 2013 by Jack Nevada

Seriously though, I cant see Tele not winning Best User.

[CJohn]

I won't vote so I don't really care, but 5 would be better.

 

After last year's epic robbery of the BOF Elite, it just doesn't matter. What is their favorite this year? 12 Years A Slave? That seems like a goddamn great movie, so at least there is that.

Didn't we won Best Thread with the Christmas Day derailment ?

[Dementeleus]

Five, single vote (keep it simple), yes to docs and horror (though horror doesn't interest me at all).

[Michael Gary Scott]

Big surprise

[The Panda]

1.I'd like 5

2.I'd prefer a form of preferential voting

3.For horror make it a Horror/Suspense(maybe include Thriller) category, so it's still there, just much more broad for more options.

Douglas was in a TV movie. Or is that not a problem?
