I don't think people saw enough foreign films this year to really make enough of an impact. 

 

 

Screw this btw. The right people did see enough. (We know who we are.) You could've actually gotten some good, smartly chosen nominees in this one!

I can counter said essay with a single word.

 

Cogman.

fair. Of all the Transformers comic relief I've watched, he was the coolest.

[Avatree]

kind of sad that I could only find one female performance that I liked enough to nominate. I'm no feminist but that kind of sucks. I only saw like three movies with a lead female.

agreed (even tho I haven't seen anything.) I also still strongly disagree with us removing Vocal/Mocap Performance & Horror Film since this year had a lot of exemplary options for both categories even if there might be "clear" frontrunners for the award.

I was having that problem early on before Oscar season came. Scarlett Johansson from Ghost in the Shell was on my Best Actress list for a concerningly long amount of time!

Horror for sure. How do you just presume that IT will be the obvious winner when there's Get Out, for starters?

definitely annoyed me that vocal/mocap category was removed. cogman could've got three nominations.

eh, doesn't make much sense to just have one genre separately. if you're gonna have best horror, should probably have best sci fi, best comedy, etc

we did have Best Comedy every year before this too though!

Killing of a Sacred Deer could've also probably qualified for horror and that was one of my favorites of the year.  then there's A Cure for Wellness, It Comes at Night, Gerald's Game, Split, Raw, mother!, Creep 2, Alien Covenant, Happy Death Day, The Babysitter, etc.

Plus, the rush to get other favorites a nomination would've been epic this year; It Comes At Night, Split, The Killing of a Sacred Deer, A Cure for Wellness, Raw, Annabelle: Creation, Happy Death Day, mother!, and Tragedy Girls would've all had their own fans. It would've been a highly entertaining bloodbath just to get favorites to their nominations, which, in my opinion, is where it truly counts.

can't really remember tbh. there were definitely fewer interesting categories this year though.

I'd like to see Best Documentary return. I know a lot of people don't see many of them (myself included), but maybe have it as a 3-entry category?

I really hope the Farrier coalition of the 4 people I know so far is enough to get him in. I am willing to bribe.

There's quite a bit of documentaries I saw this year surprisingly.  Kedi, Spielberg, An Inconvenient Sequel, Jim and Andy, and Born in China would all be pretty good candidates for the category

A 3 entry category would probably be a good idea for all the eliminated categories (Foreign, Comedy, Horror, Voice etc)

All this bargaining has me thinking.............

 

Give me some offers. Ask what you want nominated, and I will do it IF you vote for something I want as well
