One time a guy stole some downhill skis out of my jeep and I was so mad I punched a mailbox. I'm against crime, and I'm not ashamed to admit it.
I'll nominate Creed for best film, beat lead actor (Michael B. Jordan), best supporting actor (Stallone), best adapted screenplay, best action choreography, and best sound design - it was reminiscent of Raging Bull in this regard.

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?

The Armand White award will be interesting this year because there's not a lot of movies that a lot of goons loved that critics didn't. American Ultra, Chappie, Jupiter Ascending and Blackhat will likely be the main contenders.

I got mine in. I really struggled on some, but I feel my nominations were fair.

I really need to watch Beasts of No Nation. It just seems like it'll be depressing. I see Tangerine got added to Netflix.ca today, so I might be able to catch that one as well.

Out of curiosity, what was the runner up for best picture?
