You better not be using that as an excuse not to vote.

 

And idk, a three way tossup for BP sounds pretty damn exciting!

Depending on the nominations there may be some categories which I do not vote due to not believing any nominees are deserving.

I'm not going to be able to see Room today since I have to be on call by my phone for some family issues. So I'm gonna finalize my ballot and send it in within a few hours.

Elizabeth Banks supporting or lead? I am nominating her as lead as I feel she is a lead character - the story is ultimately told from her perspective. 

 

 

I don't want to lower her chance of nomination due to split categories... what do you think?

Sorry, what? I didn't even think the film was that great but how is it bottom 5 of the year?

IF YOU SEND IN A BALLOT AFTER JANUARY 24TH AT 11:59PM EST, YOU MAY NOT EDIT IT. IF YOU SUBMIT IT BEFORE THAT TIME, YOU MAY EDIT IT AS YOU WISH UNTIL THEN. THIS IS TO MAKE SURE ALL NOMINATIONS CAN EASILY BE TABULATED BY FRIDAY.

 

 

 

Just a reminder!

I'm just joking around, the movie is not on my ballot.

I asked this a couple of days ago. Did Best Action Sequence get replaced by Best Scene o does it still exist as a separate category?

It got replaced I think. Which is kinda crazy, best action sequence is a specific thing where people are going to be choosing from a certain number of candidates whereas best scene is such a huge, ungodly thing to nail down, you'll be lucky to find one scene on two lists. But what's done is done
