The Panda Posted December 20, 2016 Share Posted December 20, 2016 Side note, can we bring back Best Thread and Best Forum Story? Anyways my two proposals (not related to film, because we have a lot of them) Best Box Office Predictor Most Informative Member - For members that do a good job sparking strong discussions, and bring a lot to threads they participate in. Could also be for a member that's made some successful threads that got a lot of activity. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chasmmi Posted December 21, 2016 Share Posted December 21, 2016 Best Voice Acting / Motion Capture Performance The number of quality animated and MoCap roles each year has grown to the point it deserves its own recognition for the performances given when they would potentially be ignored by the best actor/actress race. Sorry, this was supposed to be sent to the Oscar Academy. crossed lines 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoolioD1 Posted December 21, 2016 Share Posted December 21, 2016 Best CoolioD1 post. i feel like giving me my own category will make it easier for everyone else. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blankments Posted December 21, 2016 Share Posted December 21, 2016 I've got three ideas, so I'm gonna go in order in separate posts: Best Use of Action - Not best action scene, but the best film that has the best overall action scenes in either variety or quality (Mad Max would've won this easily last year) 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blankments Posted December 21, 2016 Share Posted December 21, 2016 Best Foreign Language Film - Self-explanatory. If we're bringing back Doc (which we should), let's bring back Foreign as well. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blankments Posted December 21, 2016 Share Posted December 21, 2016 Best Voice Acting in a Supporting Role - I don't think @chasmmi remembers, but we actually added a Best Voice Acting award last year. I think we should split it though into Lead and Supporting since last year, four out of five noms went to Inside Out. That seemed excessive to me; by splitting the vote into two categories, we can prevent that from happening again. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ezen Baklattan Posted December 21, 2016 Author Share Posted December 21, 2016 So far, we have as strong contenders... BEST VOICE PERFORMANCE IN A SUPPORTING ROLE BEST DOCUMENTARY BEST FOREIGN LANGUAGE FEATURE BEST BOT THREAD Is a Best Post award too crazy? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IDK, for me personally, I got 11 performances on my shortlist (without seeing SING, LITTLE PRINCE, or any of the foreign stuff) that are worthy of notice. If we split it up, I'd have a solid 5 leads, 6 supportings to pick from. I definitely understand the apprehension tho Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoolioD1 Posted December 21, 2016 Share Posted December 21, 2016 you're just maybe a little more generous than i am. i think in general opening it all up too much is gonna lead to some baffling nominations. like someone from sing or something. but i'm just taking it too seriously i guess lol.

The Panda Posted December 21, 2016 Share Posted December 21, 2016 I don't think there should be a supporting voice performance, just open it up to MoCap. Theres not enough vocal performances to really support 10 great nominees Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
