2014 BOX OFFICE AWARDS: Voting Due Thursday Night, Read Announcement (P.24)

[Shawn Robbins]

You're not going to become a recluse for 8 years are you?

 

Well, one never knows...

[MrPink]

Well, one never knows...

 

Oh god that would make perfect fodder for my story....you disappear for 8 years because you're the hero that BOF deserves and all, but not the one it needs right now....

 

Wait, I mean, no! Please don't go!

Blankments thank you

This is what I'm thinking right now- Rallax- Short Term 12baumer- Wolf of Wall StreetCoolio- FrozenAndrew- Before MidnightMyself- Llewyn DavisNumbers- RushSpaghetti- HerMeaning Gravity, 12 Years and Captain Phillips are up for grabs.

[Cmasterclay]

Decently surprised by a number of nominations, even though I did go 5/5 for director. No Prisoners in ensemble is a shame- totally deserved it. Guess enough people haven't seen DBC for Leto and MM to make it. Thought Best Picture would yield something like Side Effects or This is the End as a darkhorse nominee- not Frozen. And certainly not Frozen without Catching Fire or Pacific Rim making it. Thought and hoped MBJ would make it in actor, but it is a stacked year, for sure. Great to see Scar Jo in there, and Margot Robbie.

[Gopher]

Leto barely missed the cut. He got twice as many votes as McConaughey.

I did not ballot, sadly. Too new at this forum thing.

I kinda stopped when I got to Best TV Show - Comedy, and wrote down two things based entirely on gifsets that I've seen on Tumblr... and then couldn't think of anything else.

Can I do Gravity?

[The Stingray]

You guys snubbed Prisoners big time. F**k y'all!

 

Great job btw, Gopher.

[Jake Gittes]

The Grandmaster in Cinematography and Production Design is one thing the Academy got right and we didn't. I understand not many saw it though.

 

On the other hand, we've got James Franco, Brie Larson, Redford, The World's End and Short Term 12 so overall we still win, as far as I'm concerned

[Dementeleus]

Hey, I voted for GRANDMASTER in a few categories!

[Jake Gittes]

I wouldn't doubt you Tele

I did ask to do frozen

[Jandrew]

Kinda confused, I thought ballots were already due? People are still posting them. And I dont know much about this "write up", but I'll do Captain Phil if its still available. I wanted to vote in this, but once I got snubbed for funniest member I said the hell with it. JK, just never got around to it. Good job on this though, Goph.
