Time for a little robot chauvinism!

Come on, I didn't even watch BLAH Airlines but it should totally be eligible. If we draw the line there then we're no better than those Academy fucks who nominated Theory of Everything for multiple awards.

edit: Let's try and tie every Best Picture nominee this year so we end up with 10 winners.

edit2: I mean, are you really gonna disqualify the packaged peanuts scene from BLAH Airlines for Best Food/Meal Scene?

As always, the meal category will have the strongest competition.

Any suggestions for Moral High Horse Award? I've heard bad things about American Sniper, but we also shouldn't forget Kirk Cameron's Magnum Opus Saving Christmas.

I usually don't watch enough lovely movies to fill out a full nominee list for this award, but I'm gonna nominate Million Dollar Arm for it's offensive human shopping, portrayal of Indians as goofy backwards outsiders who don't understand light switches, and that horrible loving "I think of it as in-country outsourcing" line.

So what are some good movies that qualify for the Armond White Award? Only one I've got is The Interview.

I didn't see Need for Speed but one of the FilmComment critics put it on their Top 10 and it made me smile.

As Above, So Below is a good choice. Robocop and The Purge: Anarchy qualify as well.

Obvious choice for the Not-Crash Award is Citizenfour for bringing real issues that really are affecting us and are loving terrifying to light.

Also Best Picture, and Best Director for Laura Poitras. Best Documentary is a no-brainer, sorry Life Itself and Jodorowsky's Dune.

I'll do the list thing. Although now that we're definitely doing CineBytes I may make an actual effort to finally see some of the stuff I missed like: Selma, Venus in Fur, Blue Ruin, Joe, It Felt Like Love, Violette, The Double, Stranger by the Lake, Filth, Memphis, Locke, Jodorowsky's Dune, and The Guest.

It's popped up on dozens of Top 10 lists, Criticker has it as 2014, IMDb has it as 2014, and had a limited US release in November.

I feel like if Charlotte Gainsbourg is nominated for Nymphomaniac then Stacy Martin needs to get some credit as well for carrying Part I so well.

Ugh. Does Willem DaFoe cum on camera in that movie?

He's barely in it and he doesn't get naked. (Although, I haven't seen the Director's Cut yet)
