Do they have to be directly pulled from the original text or can you expand on this or that scene?

 

Original text would be preferred. But I wouldn't be opposed to scene expansions.

Wait all nine BP ballots actually voted for 24 Hours and TSW2 that's surprising

I have scenes cut out for Wright and Foster but there's a MEW scene I'd like to expand on a bit.

One more thing.

 

Ballots, alongside anything else you're sending me such as Oscar clips and Y6 previews, are due on the night of Tuesday May 7th 11:59 PM EST.

 

Please rank everything for the winner's ballot--first being most preferred, fifth being the least.

 

The ceremony will be held on Wednesday May 8th at 7:00 PM EST.

You may not have sent in a nomination ballot, but if you read all of the Best Picture candidates before the May 7th deadline, you can send in a ranking for Best Picture. You can also send me a Y6 preview by the May 7th deadline.

Tfw you get fired from a sequel to a film you made on the same day you get an Oscar nomination for that and another film.

She’s not fired, she is still writing and producing.

[Blankments]

@Slambros will you also be taking acceptance speeches this year?

I don’t want to sound spoiled, but there’s one missed nom I really hoped for too.

 

Oh well, there’s always Y6 & 7 to make up for it.

Three full winner ballots down, six to go!

 

Many of the races are close, but it's still anybody's game!

[SLAM!]

I'm posting to say that I've updated the title of this thread with a notice of the deadline. Deadline Day is Five days away!

 

Also, @A Panda of Ice and Fire, I want to tag you to say that you are more than welcome to write and send me a teaser/trailer for one of your Y6 films, so that I can include it in the Oscar broadcast! Also, you can send me a Best Picture ranking if you read all of the Best Picture nominees!

[SLAM!]

Tallying the winners results is going swimmingly.

 

@Blankments, @Reddroast, and @Rorschach are the last ones I need full winners ballots from.

 

There are a lot of contentious races in certain categories. In other categories, clear front-runners are beginning to come to light.

[Rorschach]

I’ll submit mine sometime tonight.

Crap, I completely forgot I haven't done a preview.

 

You'll get it tomorrow night @Slambros
