The five most mentioned nominees will be the finalists for the award in each category, with the exception of Best Picture which will have ten finalists. In the second round, one vote is submitted by each judge in each of the listed categories for one of the nominated films. Anyone who has posted at least one comment about a movie in CineD prior to this post is eligible as a judge. This thread can be used to remind people of the films, performances, and so on that deserve attention. Please try to avoid posts that are just a list of suggestions in every category, and instead narrow in on a particular film, performer, some other elements, or provide some commentary. The third contest. The second contest. Voting is Open Votes are due end-of-day Sunday, February 14, 2016. Votes can be submitted either by private messaging me, or emailing goonys2016@gmail.com. If you're going to email, include your user name in the email. All that's required to judge is to have any sort of presence in the CineD forum. You do not have to have submitted nominations to vote. List your selection in each category. If you don't feel comfortable making a selection in a category, that's fine. Please do the categories in the same order I have them here to make compiling the votes easier. Sir Kodiak fucked around with this message at 05:29 on Mar 4, 2016 |

The basic thinking was that there was literally no one on this forum who needed an opportunity to discuss Fury Road or who needed to be reminded how good it was. However, if people really want the opportunity to vote for it, say so here and it'll be let back in. The goal was to make things more interesting by allowing some question as to what would win, but if it's more interesting to have another opportunity to talk about an admittedly fantastic film, I'm open to allowing it in.

We have nominations anyway so I don't really see what the big difference would be. Just include it because otherwise it's a major stick-in-the-mud move. Anyway, I think the best film of the year is The Look of Silence. Joshua Oppenheimer is not only a deeply-committed and intelligent humanitarian, but one of the most gifted filmmakers alive today. What he accomplishes with his anonymous co-director and star is a true act of bravery with a camera, with a level of craft unparalleled in documentary. The title of the film gives away its strongest moments, when the story pauses to just soak up the bugs chirping in the village and the human suffering that doesn't make a single sound yet permeates everything about these characters' lives. If The Act of Killing drew you in at all, The Look of Silence will change your life. Never seen a flick like it, honest. For your consideration in the categories of: Best Film, Best Director (Joshua Oppenheimer & Anonymous), Best Cinematography, Best Editing, Best Documentary, The Not-Crash for Socially Forward Filmmaking. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aA_ZHAs4M9k Kull the Conqueror fucked around with this message at 22:20 on Jan 10, 2016 |

For my own part, I think the best film of the year is The Big Short. An adaptation of the book The Big Short: Inside the Doomsday Machine by Michael Lewis, it breaks down the corruption and outright criminality of the 2007-2008 financial crisis into a story that's funny, illuminating, and infuriating. Never letting the movie fall into the trap of just being a lecture, Director Adam McKay has created an inventive mix of narrative, direct explanation, and pop collage to maintain the energy of its illumination of the finance industry in the early 21st century. Partway between The Wolf of Wall Street and Natural Born Killers, this movie would be a standout even if it didn't also provide the valuable service of breaking down the incompetence and immorality of people who weren't only shielded from the consequences of their behavior, but rewarded for it. For your consideration in the categories of: Best Picture Best Director: Adam McKay Best Film Editing: Hank Corwin The Not-Crash for Socially Forward Filmmaking Best Food/Meal Scene: Dinner with Wing Chau Best Ensemble Cast Best Adapted Screenplay: Adam McKay and Charles Randolph Best Musical Direction https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vgqG3ITMv1Q Sir Kodiak fucked around with this message at 01:39 on Jan 11, 2016 |

 I want people to consider – or at least watch – Bone Tomahawk. It's a Western with some very funny moments and truly horrific scenes. It has an appropriately dusty atmosphere, the cinematography is dry and arid and makes for some striking shots. Kurt Russell, Patrick Wilson and Richard Jenkins are as great as expected and even Matthew Fox turns in an affecting performance. The dialogue is definitely stylized, butting the matter-of-fact and the whimsical up tight against each other. And, unlike Snak, I really liked that.  It's a movie that wasn't exactly what I expected but more enjoyable than I anticipated. I can definitely see why people find the long journey until the final act tedious, especially if they weren't a fan of the dialogue, but it gives The Big Moment that much more impact. It's not my favourite movie of the year but it's one of them and it's a hell of an impressive directorial debut. For your consideration in the category of: Best Picture, Best Actor in a Supporting Role (Kurt Russell, Richard Jenkins), Best Food/Meal Scene, Best Cinematography, Best Original Screenplay

Sicario The latest film from director Denis Villeneuve, Sicario is a haunting look at the War on Drugs from the perspective of a good cop caught up in events beyond her control. Emily Blunt plays Kate Macer, whose curiosity and sense of duty take her further than she ever expected, led by the hand by the anti-Cartel operative Matt Graver, played by Josh Brolin in a alternatingly laid-back and grimly threatening performance. Benicio del Toro plays Alejandro, a government advisor who manifests as a force of nature with questionable loyalties and unspeakable methods of getting the job done. The film is a thematically-dense examination of power and authority, and of the consequences of shepherds becoming too much like wolves. Roger Deakins' rich cinematography is breathtaking at points, and creates a darkly beautiful tone for the film when paired with Jóhann Jóhannsson's droning score. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sR0SDT2GeFg For your consideration in the categories of Best Picture Best Director: Denis Villeneuve Best Actress in a Leading Role: Emily Blunt as Kate Macer Best Actor in a Supporting Role: Benicio del Toro as Alejandro Best Actor in a Supporting Role: Josh Brolin as Matt Graver Best Cinematography: Roger Deakins Best Original Screenplay: Taylor Sheridan Best Original Score: Jóhann Jóhannsson Best Food/Meal Scene: Silvio's breakfast with his son Terrorist Fistbump fucked around with this message at 00:09 on Jan 11, 2016 |

I'm going to do some nominations for my top four movies and will probably come back to post some individual nominations with more detail. Mad Max: Fury Road  George Miller created what many would consider to be a perfect action movie. The editing, the plot, the setting, the characters, and the art design are all perfectly executed in order to produce what are probably the best car chases in film and a grand spectacle that will be remembered and studied for years. The film that has won a few best picture contests so far and will undoubtedly go on to sweep the Golden Globes and Academy Awards. It's so good it almost got banned from these awards? Roflmao Best Picture Best Director: George Miller Best Film Editing: Margaret Sixel Best Makeup and Costuming Best Original Score: Junkie XL The Echoplex Award for Art Design The Golden Winnebago: Best Trailer The Michael Bay Award for Best Noises or Lack Thereof (Sound Design) Best Action Choreography Best Adapted Screenplay: George Miller, Brendan McCarthy, Nico Lathouris Best Visual Effects Best Cinematography: John Seale Star Wars: The Force Awakens  Star Wars Episode VII: The Force Awakens, the eleventh Star Wars movie, had a lot of expectations to meet. Thankfully, The Force Awakens ended up being a solid, entertaining release that provided plenty of space-fantasy adventure and spectacle. Of particular note is the fantastic creature and character designs that nail the Star Wars aesthetic while bringing something new to the universe. Best Makeup and Costuming The Echoplex Award for Art Design The Golden Winnebago: Best Trailer Best Visual Effects Ex Machina  Ex Machina is an original film in the science fiction genre, a pleasant surprise in a year of franchise films and sequels, that managed to impress and be one of the best films of the year. The movie relies on its three very talented performers and luckily they knock the material out of the park. The film has picked up a few nominations here and there during the awards season, but still not enough recognition in my mind. Best Picture Best Director: Alex Garland Best Actor in a Leading Role: Domhnall Gleeson Best Actor in a Supporting Role: Oscar Isaac Best Actress in a Leading Role: Alicia Vikander Best Ensemble Cast Best Original Screenplay: Alex Garland CineD MVP: Domhnall Gleeson (Ex Machina, Brooklyn, Star Wars: The Force Awakens, The Revenant) CineD MVP: Alicia Vikander (Ex Machina, The Man from U.N.C.L.E., The Danish Girl) It Follows  I generally do not watch or even enjoy horror movies, but I found myself going to see this film based on good word of mouth and it became one of my favorite films of the year and one of my favorite horror movies ever. This movie has a novel concept and is quite gorgeous. Best Picture Best Director: David Robert Mitchell Best Original Score: Disasterpeace Best Original Screenplay: David Robert Mitchell Best Cinematography: Mike Glouakis

What films are eligible for these awards? Is it just any film with a 2015 U.S. theatrical release date? Because that would include films like Testament of Youth and Kingsman, both released in the UK in 2014 but in the US in 2015.

Sir Kodiak posted:The first release anywhere in the world must have been in 2015. Testament of Youth and Kingsman are 2014. I think this rule needs to have exceptions. If a movie saw a limited release that's one thing, but there needs to be exceptions for movies that were only accessible through festival attendance (or piracy). Kingsman was released in a festival in the UK in December 2014, and didn't see a real release until 2015. It's a little unfair to disqualify a movie just because a few hundred people saw a screening. It follows debuted in the festival scene in 2014 as well. Is it eligible?

I'd thought Kingsman had had a limited theatrical in 2014 in UK. If it was really just a festival than I'm fine with it being included. Same for It Follows. But a limited theatrical release is enough. Hateful Eight and The Revenant are eligible this year if anyone wants to nominate them for things. Also, a theatrical release isn't necessary if you want to nominate something that was digital-only. Beasts of No Nation got a limited theatrical release, I think, but it would be welcome even if it hadn't, and there might be something good that didn't that I'm unaware of. But it should be movie-like, so no Making a Murderer in the documentary category. On this subject, as before, 2015 trailers for 2016 movies are eligible. And if you're nominating a trailer, please post it. The award is for a particular trailer, not for the movie. Sir Kodiak fucked around with this message at 01:42 on Jan 11, 2016 |

Having been reminded of the abomination that is Ridiculous 6 I'm sure that's gonna take the Moral High Horse, but I'd like to at least submit some competition for consideration in Concussion, a movie which not only has a 'love interest' so nonexistent in character that I literally did not know her name until it appeared on an ultrasound machine two-thirds of the way through the movie, but also features a scene where she basically says she's okay with being raped when she first arrived in the US because it must have been part of God's plan, and this is used to make Will Smith feel better about continuing with his work because obviously that's all part of God's plan too. Also Crimson Peak for best Art Design is legit. Edit: Also also The Revenant for Best Meal for the Pawnee man sharing the raw buffalo with Glass.

I probably don't need to remind people of Ruffalo's performance in Spotlight...so I'll try to get as many people as possible to watch 'Dragon Blade' for the Armond White award. This movie is like face/off as in the greatest, but set in historical China and starring Jackie Chan, John Cusack, and Adrien Brody. Chan, though, is mostly comic relief/physical comedy and despite getting the most screen time, takes the movie the least seriously. At no point in the movie, which is extremely long, will you have any idea what's going on, but bodies are flying, the gongs of war are sounding, and little blind boys are screaming. There are multiple musical numbers. The movie comes into its own once Cusack and Body share the screen. They do their best Cage and Travolta and loving hit it out of the park, becoming such hams that they absorb the camera. Adrien Brody is easily the most ridiculous/satifying lovely action movie villain I think I've ever seen, he treats this like a 70s kung fu script. There is a death scene that rivals Boromir's from LOTR.  Please watch this movie and post funny things about it and consider it for the AW award. straight up brolic fucked around with this message at 10:23 on Jan 11, 2016 |

Since people have already nominated some of my other favorites already, I'm going to go to bat for Beasts of No Nation. This is a sad, gripping, unflinching movie that still manages to leave the viewer with a faint glimmer of hope and trust in basic human goodness despite dealing with some of the most depressing subject matter possible. For my money, this is Idris Elba's best performance, and Abraham Attah puts on an incredibly good performance (and a killer monologue) even before you consider that this is his first time acting. Fukunaga's cinematography is gorgeous - the infrared shots and the long take in the trenches are some of the most impressive scenes of the year. I am nominating it for: Best Picture Best Actor in a Leading Role - Abraham Attah Best Actor in a Supporting Role - Idris Elba Best Adapted Screenplay Best Cinematography - Cary Joji Fukunaga I am also going to nominate High-Rise for The Golden Winnebago: Best Trailer, and Michael Fassbender for CineD MVP for his performances in Slow West, Steve Jobs, and Macbeth.

I'm gonna throw some ace documentaries you guys' ways to check out. Dwarves Kingdom https://vimeo.com/54232520 Dwarves Kingdom is the story of a real life theme park in China where the main attraction is none of than little people! Bizarre, sad, and unique look into the world of one of the park entertainers who decides to leave to try to make it in the real world. Available to rent on iTunes and other services. Call Me Lucky https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3FChmOC-Qjw Bobcat Goldthwait's heartfelt biography of his friend and mentor Barry Crimmins, a little known stand-up comic who built the Boston stand-up scene in the 80s. But Crimmins was more than a comic - he was an activist and a rape survivor, fighting against abuse of government and church. You don't know it, but you can thank him for having a major role in passing modern child pornography laws. Hilarious and tragic, it should be considered for Best Picture and Best Doc. Available on Netflix. The Thread https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s4cd_thaLcA Remember when Reddit pinned the Boston Marathon Bombing on an innocent kid? Yeah, this is about that. On Netflix, only an hour long. Well well well worth the watch. Heart of a Dog https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v37BnyHefnY Laurie Anderson's essay film tribute to her dead dog Lolabelle. And also all the other passed loved ones in her life. It owns. Find it, watch it, hug your dog.
