3 BP nominees

That hasn't been done since the first decade of the original game I believe.

Being a 'multi award nominated' studio really isn't much of an achievement considering I'm pretty sure literally every other studio in this game has been nominated for multiple Oscars.

Yeah but looking at all my films this year, it really looked in doubt that I'd even have 1 nomination.

You'll get there, Films. Again, a lot of great players started slow in this game. (Numbers can tell you about Creator's Secret Society of Unicorns). In fact, if you'd like, I could take a look at one of your films (Peace At Last, perhaps, since you seem to be really pushing it) and give you some advice.

Ok, I'll send you and alpha peace at last probably tomorrow

I still only have two BP noms after being active in the game since Y3.

This. It takes time and practise to get into the game; not everyone can be like Numbers and win BP in their first year.

True that. I started low in Year 5 of 2.0, and now 3 years later I'm doing really well.

 

It just takes time.

If a tie break is tied do we just award both the nomination or do we do a tie break of the tie break?

Tie break. Film with most #1s advances. If tied, move to #2s. And so on.

[rukaio101]

Can't we just flip a coin instead? (Totally not saying that because I'd lose otherwise)

*: Because The Giver and StarCraft both received the exact same votes in the Production Design category, I have decided to nominate both films. If anyone objects, we can always discuss it. 

 

I will be putting up the actual oscar nomination thread and voting will start either tonight or tomorrow. 

[rukaio101]

Dang it. I was so close to having Mushishi nominated in all 4 acting categories too...
