The 2022 MoFo Film Awards - Nominations
1 Attachment(s)
https://www.movieforums.com/communit...chmentid=90977 After a two year hiatus, the MoFo Film Awards are back! The deadline for submitting your nominations is March 20th. What is this? Formerly hosted by TheUsualSuspect, the MoFo Film Awards are pretty much our version of the Oscars. The categories differ slightly, and even include places to vent about your least favourite film or biggest disappointment of the year. Once I've collected your nominations, I'll reveal the finalists in another thread, where we'll have one month to vote for the winners. How does it work? For each category, you're able to select up to 5 films, people, or scenes to nominate (whichever is relevant). These choices are ranked, so your #1 choice will receive 5 points, #2 will receive 4 points, and so on. You do not need to make 5 selections if you don't want to, and your #1 choice will still be worth the full 5 points if you submit a partial ballot. Make sure to PM your nominations to me before the deadline. Do I have to nominate something for every category? No, you don't. If you didn't see any documentaries this year, you don't need to randomly choose one, unless you want to. I don't recommend nominating films you haven't seen, but you do you! Should I keep what I'm nominating a secret? I do not recommend posting your final ballot in the thread, however unlike the Countdowns and Hall of Fames, talking about how you plan to vote will not cause your nominations to be disqualified. Feel free to post WIP shortlists, or to campaign for specific films or performances. Some films have conflicting release date information online. How do I know if a film is eligible for these awards? Any "festival films" that were only shown in places such as the Toronto or Berlin International Film Festivals during 2021, but not given a wide theatrical release until 2022 are automatically eligible, since the majority of us are unable to see them during their initial festival window. Check the bottom of this post for a list of notable films with hybrid release dates, and feel free to suggest additions. If a film has conflicting information online, but is not a festival film, its eligibility will be open for discussion. What is this “Mixed Bag” Award? That is up to you to decide! Is there a film that had some great moments, but overall fell short of being great? Perhaps there was something problematic in (or around) a film that makes you feel kinda “eeehh” about the whole thing. Did you think a film was so perfectly mediocre that it should be called out? This is the category to express any of that! Can I nominate the same actor for multiple performances? Yes, you can. Can I nominate the same role for both Best Actor and Best Supporting Actor? Yes! I'm pretty sure I've even done this myself when I couldn't decide how exactly to classify the performance. If you'd like to see how other people feel about it first, don't hesitate to ask in the thread. How do I let you know which scene I want to nominate for the relevant categories? Try your best to describe it without giving too many spoilers, if possible. If clarification is needed, I will ask. If you know I've seen a film (feel free to creep on my letterboxd to do so), spoilers are fine. Is it possible to alter my ballot after I sent it? While you may not make any changes to the selections you have already sent, you may add extra nominations to any category, as long as you didn't already have the maximum of 5 submitted. Any such additions must also be received before the deadline. What happens if I don't nominate anything? Can I still vote for a winner later? Yes! You do not need to participate in this round of the Film Awards in order to vote for your favourites later on. However, you will have to forfeit the right to complain about the available choices if you didn't nominate anything yourself. My question wasn't covered here, what do I do? You can ask in the thread, or PM me if you're not comfortable posting your question publicly. ~.~ Notable 2021/2022 Films: After Yang (Dir. Kogonada) Boiling Point (Dir. Philip Barantini) Ennio (Dir.

Re: The 2022 MoFo Film Awards - Nominations
Yeah! and good for you Cosmic for taking this on! This sounds fun for MoFo. I know from your HoF hosting that you make one helluva great host!
|
Thanks! <3
Not sure how much interest there's going to be in reviving this, but I figured I'd start it up again in case any of the newer members who weren't around the last time they were held wanted the chance to participate. If no one submits a ballot, I'll try again next year haha. |
I will definitely send a ballot. Still a few big flicks I am hoping will be available in Feb, so I will wait a bit.
This was always fun, so I am glad to see it revived. |
Re: The 2022 MoFo Film Awards - Nominations
My God, I don't think I've seen more than 10 films from 2022, and most of them were animated films with the kids.

Re: The 2022 MoFo Film Awards - Nominations
I'll be playing along with this. Got a ton to see yet though.

Ooh. That gives me 2 months to catch up. I’ll definitely start binging and will submit a ballot.

Re: The 2022 MoFo Film Awards - Nominations
Great to see this back!
|
Looking forward to participating.
I hate to be that guy and make things more complicated, but which release dates are we using? Mad God and After Yang, for example, are considered 2021 movies at some places and 2022 movies at others. |
Myself, I always go with theatrical releases in my country during the calendar year, but this is going to differ for Mofos from other countries.
I’d say, check with Cosmicrunaway in pm. |

In previous years, this has always been open for discussion. Often times films will have a limited run in festivals prior to its official release, which is why we frequently see conflicting release date information for them online. Most of us likely aren't able to attend these festivals, so I personally consider any film that didn't get a wide, global release until 2022 eligible. I can add a list of notable hybrid 2021/2022 films to the first post as well. You guys just need to let me know which ones you want included. |
Re: The 2022 MoFo Film Awards - Nominations
One example I would consider voting for is Great Freedom. Nominally a 2021 film but only at festivals, most release dates were 2022.
|
Re: The 2022 MoFo Film Awards - Nominations
I have added After Yang, Great Freedom, and Mad God to the eligible hybrid list. I think in previous years we had exclusions for festival films that were nominated for the Oscars before their wide release, but I'm not going to be that picky.

I've added those two as well. Thanks! :up:

Re: The 2022 MoFo Film Awards - Nominations
Red Rocket was in many festivals in 2021, but was widely released in theatres in 2022.
What about M3gan, which is 2022 on IMDb, but mostly released in theatres in 2023? |

What about M3gan, which is 2022 on IMDb, but mostly released in theatres in 2023? I wouldn't personally consider M3gan eligible though, since its wide release wasn't until this year. If enough people disagree with me on this, we can include it as a 2022 film, but in doing so disqualify it from next year's awards. It's up to you guys. |
Re: The 2022 MoFo Film Awards - Nominations
Marcel the Shell with Shoes On, Official Competition, and Hallelujah: Leonard Cohen, a Journey, a Song all made festival debuts in 2021.
The Tragedy of Macbeth and Drive My Car got very limited releases late in 2021, but not sure we'd want to count those. |
I'll be following this thread, but I don't think I've seen any movies from 2022 yet. (I don't even think I've seen more than 10 movies from 2021 yet either. :rolleyes:)
I'll try to watch some, but I haven't really kept up with new movies, so I don't even know where to start. |
Re: The 2022 MoFo Film Awards - Nominations
This thread is already better organized than anything I've done. It is in good hands!!!

United States- December 24, 2021 France- February 2, 2022 Italy- March 3, 2022 United Kingdom- March 11, 2022 Germany- April 14, 2022 So I don't know, maybe it should count as 2021 movie since it was released in US on December 24, 2021. |

Re: The 2022 MoFo Film Awards - Nominations
RE: Red Rocket
https://www.boxofficemojo.com/releas...ef_=bo_tt_gr_1 Regarding theatre counts, it jumped from 16 on December 19th, 2021 to 377 on December 24th, 2021. Widest was 385 on New Years Eve. |

That's a good idea. Thanks for the suggestion. :) I'm going to look through IMDB and Wikipedia first to get an idea of what movies were released in 2022, and then I'll probably make a recommendations thread in a day or two. |
This makes me pretty glad that I got out and saw plenty (comparatively) of movies last year!
Many thanks @CosmicRunaway |

Re: The 2022 MoFo Film Awards - Nominations
Awesome, I've been making my way through the major releases of 2022 recently so I'm well-equipped for this.
|
Re: The 2022 MoFo Film Awards - Nominations
If anyone would like to privately disagree to Red Rocket's inclusion, leave me a post comment here. I will assume anyone who doesn't comment is okay with it being eligible.
|
Re: The 2022 MoFo Film Awards - Nominations
I just fixed a mistake in the form I had added to the second post. There were some extra numbers without a header. Luckily there weren't any missing categories, so anyone who already copied it shouldn't be missing anything.

Re: The 2022 MoFo Film Awards - Nominations
So it sounds like The Pale Blue Eye would be a better fit for 2023? January 6th Netflix release after a limited debut on December 23rd.
My Best Friend Anne Frank was released only in the Netherlands in 2021 and on Netflix in 2022. |

Which reminds me, if anyone was wondering, films that were only released on a streaming service are 100% eligible for our film awards.

GBG's thread has made me realize that I currently only have three 2022 films on my watchlist, all of which I added last night, haha.
Resurrection, See How They Run, and The Stranger is what I have so far. I know there are some major releases I haven't seen yet, but I'm more interested in films that people think were criminally underseen, if anyone has any suggestions. |

I started making my way through ScarletLion's list to check out the details of all those films, and uh...I think imdb wants me to know that this film is the story of two mothers who bond in an unexpected way after giving birth the same day.
https://www.movieforums.com/communit...chmentid=91003 Wonder if it would've repeated the line for a third time if the character limit was longer? :lol: |
I've received our first set of nominations. <3
I think I'll put the list of participants in the third post. I don't want to have too much information ahead of the awards categories, since that's the only thing older MoFos might need to see. |
Re: The 2022 MoFo Film Awards - Nominations
I'm at 19 but if I can get to 30 or so it could make a decent sort of ballot perhaps
|
Re: The 2022 MoFo Film Awards - Nominations
I already submitted my noms in an attempt to prevent myself from fretting over details for the next two months, but I am wondering about people's approach to a particular category. When you see "Best Ensemble Cast" do you think about the names involved or how they performed in that particular movie?
|

I would like to say the latter, but I am sure the former can’t help but creep in. What I really try to think about is movies that aren’t driven by one or two characters though. So, for instance. Tar would not be in consideration, but something like Glass Onion will be. Even though I like Tar much more and think it has better performance:.
I agree with every word of this. Although in addition to at least one "name value" movie creeping onto my list, there may also be a couple where the "ensemble" tag is debatable. |
Re: The 2022 MoFo Film Awards - Nominations
Sean's description is spot on for how I personally view the category as well. Though in the past I've also voted for films that primarily focused on just a couple of characters when the supporting cast was also phenomenal.
|
This is very good initiative and nice organization! :up:
Currently, I'm underway examining all involved in the recent Golden Globes nominees, so far I saw almost half of them. It is good you include here the late 2021 releases that are mostly a festival presentations. I see there one of my absolute favorites. In addition, I would suggest this one The Good Boss (imdb Release info). Do you think it can qualify to be 2022 participant? |

Re: The 2022 MoFo Film Awards - Nominations
Just realized I forgot a movie in one of the two categories I didn't have a full five of. Oh, well. It doesn't need my help to be nominated anyway.
|
Memoria premiered at Cannes in 2021 and was technically "released" in the United States (where I live) on December 26, 2021 in only one theater (at the IFC Center in New York). It did not play anywhere else in the U.S. until 2022, nor did it play in the UK until 2022, so it would seem that it was impossible for almost anyone in America or England to have seen it for last year's Awards.
So... is it eligible? |

Re: The 2022 MoFo Film Awards - Nominations
I thought I would have plenty of time this week to get a start on my watchlist, but ended up having to work twice as many shifts as I was originally scheduled. Januarys are just the worst. I did manage to watch one film, but it probably won't be making my ballot.
Hope you guys are having better luck! |

Hope you guys are having better luck! I've had a similar problem with being busy due to Valentine's Day sales taking up a lot of my time, so I haven't had much time to track down some of the movies near the top of my watchlist, but thanks to cable TV, I've been able to watch a few movies that were a bit lower on my list. My favorite so far is The Lost City. It's a fun adventure coupled with a rom-com that works partly due to the great cast, and also because flaws of the "hero" in the story add some great humorous moments. Jerry & Marge Go Large is a good movie that's interesting because it's based on a true story. Cyrano was only okay, but it was worth watching just for Peter Dinklage. I'm not a fan of Nicolas Cage, but The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent was better than I expected. |

I progress slowly but determined.
Added two more films for the last two weeks to my 2022 portfolio. One of the last will be strong member of my nominations the other one is a bit controversial though well shot. |
I watched Vortex which had been on my watchlist as well as being recommended by Scarlet Lion. A difficult watch but a very good film.
|
Re: The 2022 MoFo Film Awards - Nominations
I haven't seen Aftersun mentioned. I watched that this weekend, and would recommend!
|
This Covid period as well as the more and more emerging independent releases makes it very difficult to mark what is the year of a movie.
I wonder, what do you think about this 2020 film that can be marked as 2020, 2021 and even 2022 movie? Dinner in America IMDB Link |

Are we counting Apollo 10½ as an animated film? I think the Academy deemed it ineligible due to their ruling about rotoscoped films, but we don't have to play by their rules.

It is literally an animation technique, so I'm not sure what the Academy's problem is. So what if a lot of it is traced? Someone still had to draw and animate it. |

Re: The 2022 MoFo Film Awards - Nominations
I'll echo what I already said. Aftersun was a real good one. Hopefully it can do well here.

I fully support including rotoscoped films in the animation category. :up:
It is literally an animation technique, so I'm not sure what the Academy's problem is. So what if a lot of it is traced? Someone still had to draw and animate it. The Academy came around on this, too. https://www.vulture.com/2022/11/acad...-eligible.html |
Re: The 2022 MoFo Film Awards - Nominations
I still haven't watched a single animated film for this. What are everyone's favourites? I'll probably check out Mad God, but I don't have any others on my watchlist.

It was a mostly forgettable year for animation it seemed, in a year that includes The Badguys and Lightyear. |

I plan on watching both and comparing |

Puss in Boots: The Last Wish |
Where I am:
Movies watched 21 (17 of 2022 + 4 of late 2021 that are eligible here). Out of these, I consider 11 to source my nominations from. The other films I've seen are meh, unfortunately. Hope, in a couple of weeks to add at least couple more decent movies that is worth to nominate somewhere. Also, since it is a private type game, which is the right approach, I'm not sure if it is OK to heavily recommend movies which is kind of reveal what are your favorites you gonna probably vote for. Right? |

You don't need to be too coy with what you're going to nominate. Just don't go so far as to post your actual ballot in the thread. |
For reference:
A totally fine post:
Violent Night and The Menu are my favourite films of the year. They're at the top of my list so far.
You guys can't stop me from voting for Violent Night in all the relevant categories.
This is my final ballot:
Best Film of The Year 1. Violent Night 2. The Menu |

I haven't seen a lot of 2022 animated movies, but these are the ones I've seen that I liked: Apollo 10½: A Space Age Childhood Chip 'n Dale: Rescue Rangers (This is live-action/animated) DC League of Super-Pets Guillermo del Toro's Pinocchio Marcel the Shell with Shoes On Minions: The Rise of Gru Sonic the Hedgehog 2 (This is live-action/animated) |

I watched Sonic the Hedgehog 2 when both Sonic movies aired on one of the cable movie channels. I didn't even realize that it was a 2022 movie at the time I watched it. |
Re: The 2022 MoFo Film Awards - Nominations
I have to wonder about how eligible a film that's a mix of live-action and animation would have to be. I know Marcel the Shell was nominated for Best Animated Feature at the Oscars, but something like Sonic the Hedgehog 2 has greater emphasis on its live-action elements that I think deems it ineligible (and where does it end, with us nominating Avatar: The Way of Water?)

I also completely forgot about Avatar. Now that you bring it up, I guess the process isn't entirely dissimilar to rotoscoping though. I've always seen that type of CGI as being the film equivalence of a video game cutscene, and I'm not sure how to classify that. |
Re: The 2022 MoFo Film Awards - Nominations
Actually, I completely forgot that Avatar was also a mix of live-action and CGI until I was asking my room mate what his opinion on it was. I had completely forgotten about the human characters haha. I haven't seen the new one, and don't particularly care to, but I assume it also has real actors on screen as well.
So it's really in the same boat as Sonic. I've never known how to classify films that are primarily live-action, but heavily feature animated characters, so those of you who know and care more about animation are welcome to decide for yourselves. I'm fine with whatever the majority agrees to. |
Re: The 2022 MoFo Film Awards - Nominations
Haven't seen a lot of movies but have seen enough to make a decent ballot. The category I'm having the hardest time figuring out is the Most Memorable Scene of the Year**
It's a scene from RRR, for sure, but which one?There's like 10 to choose from. It has more memorable scenes than any movie I've seen in years. |

If I wasn't the host I would actually have submitted that as a laugh...but I would've immediately followed it up with my actual choices for the category, of course haha. |
