if it helps, i feel like seeing ava as a villain in ex machina is a pretty gigantic misreading of that movie.

 

Yeah I mean she kind of represents hope, a rejection of the creepy existence the two male characters force on her. I guess the villain thing comes from how she treats Gleeson but it felt like the whole point of the movie was that Gleeson's 'nice guy' expecting partnership from her isn't that far removed from Isaac's character's worldview

Eh, Gleeson is the protagonist and Ava is secretly the "antagonist." Maybe not a full-on villain, but she does display some ruthless and amoral qualities at the end.

Can we get an extension on the nomination deadline? The forums are only working on mobile for some of us which is making it kinda difficult to submit anything.

 

Is Wednesday doable?

[Goffe]

@Telemachos What about moving this thread to main forum before the deadline expires to give it more visibility? 

[Dan9]

Sent mine in, a few films I haven't seen such as Spotlight but I should have done by the time the next round of voting begins.

Gonna flood Spaghetti's inbox with ballots that are just Star Wars in every category

[4815162342]

@Chewy I may come around to your thinking and switch out Ava for Balem. Will decide tonight after work.

Eh, she's just as ruthless and selfish in her manipulation, using and discarding of Kyoko as she is of Gleason without any fight against the patriarchy justification.

[Ezen Baklattan]

Any predictions for the categories?

[Michael Gary Scott]

I predict Mad Max or Star Wars will have the most nominations

Well, I woke up this morning and it seems things are working again, so I suppose it's cool as is with today's deadline. I was just worried it might have been an extended problem.

Okay, awesome! Personally, my deadline will be when I wake up in the morning, so nominees will be ready to go on Friday!

Moved to the main forum until the nomination due date.

can't seem to send a PM so here is my ballot. I tried to catch up but I have only seen 30 2015 movies will try to see all of the nominees before voting. 

[TalismanRing]

Ballot sent and after just campaigning for Caine I pumped him off the ballot for Al Pacino.

[Cmasterclay]

BOFFY time is the best time! My ballot is in spoilers, just in case anyone gives a shit. I missed Room, Carol, Beasts of No Nation, and Phoenix, but hit mostly everything else. I had some fun with the down ballot categories. Also shouts to Coolio for being the first dude I think I've ever double nommed in the two poster categories. You da real MVP.
