Ladies and gentlemen, the votes are in and we have our final set of nominees. We ended up with a little less submissions than last year, but there were still enough to have a diverse enough field of films voted in. Please vote for ONE film in each category you choose. The DEADLINE for your votes is March 30th, 2019. That gives you almost one month to watch any films that need to be viewed before then. We will then have the awards ceremony the very next day. March 31st, 2019. You must PRIVATE MESSAGE me your votes, do not post them here. You post them here and your votes are disqualified. I'd like to thank @Cynema De Bergerac again for brand spankin' new poster we've got now. It's a lot cleaner and clearly from someone more talented. Thanks for making mine look cheap, yet again.

Re: 2018 Mofo Film Awards
Best Screenplay Do I make you sad? I don't know. Sometimes I think that when I'm older, I'll have a daughter of my own or something... and I feel like if she was like me, then being her mum would make me sad all the time. I'd love her because she's my daughter, but I think if she turned out like me that being her mum would make me really sad. https://i.imgur.com/5yctzab.jpg Courage is the solution to despair, reason provides no answers. I can't know what the future will bring; we have to choose despite uncertainty. Wisdom is holding two contradictory truths in our mind, simultaneously, Hope and despair. A life without despair is a life without hope. Holding these two ideas in our head is life itself. https://i.imgur.com/XUsPaJE.jpg Some wounds do not close. I have many such.

Re: 2018 Mofo Film Awards
Thoughts:
This was indeed a surprising year. Backlash over the Oscars maybe? Both Green Book and Bohemian Rhapsody have limited showings here and what they are nominated for are not the "good" categories. This might be the first year that a film that won Best Picture is not even nominated in our category. It might also be the same for Lead Actor. Annihilation, which garnered some mixed to positive reactions scored 8 nominations. Two of them in one category (Most Memorable Scene). It scored Best Film/Director but nothing for acting or writing. Roma earned 6 while The Favourite snagged 9 nominations (the most). Two of them in one category (Best Supporting Actress) Surprises? Yes I'd say so. Mandy making a splash with 4 nominations (Nic Cage just missed out by one vote). One of them is Best Picture, while the surprise turnout for Widows (5 nominations) built of speed until failing to secure a Best Picture nomination. Black Panther had a small showing, just one nomination in the Overrated category. That category has 4 out 5 nominees that were nominated for Best Picture at the Oscars. The only one that wasn't was Solo (which is weird to see it nominated for Overrated, but you guys voted it). Normally you'd see some overlap with Overrated/Disappointment and Best Picture. There always seems to be one or two movies that make both or all three categories. 3 Billboards did this last year. Yet this year was different as none of the ones nominated for Overrated or Disappointing made a Best Picture nomination. No Rami Malek or Viggo or Dafoe or Bale....Cooper is the only one that was nominated from the Oscars to snag a spot here. Mofos instead awarded the smaller roles like Ben Foster in Leave no Trace or Joaquin Phoenix in You Were Never Really Here. Ethan Hawke was snubbed at the Oscars, but the wise voters here recognized his efforts. For Worst Movies of the year, I'd argue 4/5 shouldn't be there. I'm even including the terrible Fantastic Beasts...the one truly terrible film there has to be 15:17 to Paris, while the rest are mediocre (though some would argue Cloverfield Paradox is straight up trash). Glenn Close and Melissa McCarthy did not receive any love here. Instead Toni Collette and Joanna Kulig got some love. Some more surprises come in the Best Supporting Actor category where Steven Yeun, Alex Wolff and Daniel Kaluuya showed up. Personally, I would have liked to have seen more love for BlackKklansman and Sorry To Bother You. But overall, this year looks to be vastly different to the previous ones. |
Re: 2018 Mofo Film Awards
There we go! We are better at this than those silly Oscars! Look forward to the rest!
I really like the 5 choices for Visual Effects. All five are pretty deserving. Wish I could have seen Cold War and Beale Street by now. |
Re: 2018 Mofo Film Awards
Sorry it took so long.

Re: 2018 Mofo Film Awards
Far more high-brow than last year.

Re: 2018 Mofo Film Awards
Wow, Lot's of diversity

I definitely like our list of nominations much better than the Academy's haha.
Great job on the presentation as usual. :up: |
Great job on the presentation and artwork
TheUsualSuspect & Cynema De Bergerac 👍 Best Cast Don't see Cynthia Erivo mentioned as a cast member in Widows and Bad Times at the El Royale.. she had an important role in both movies.. |
No love for John Williams ost..:(
Annihilation very overrated on this forum, the portals look like alien anuses.. :sick: Alex Wolff, Lady Gaga.. really...smh.. Love the nominations for Steven Yuen and Daniel Kaluuya..👍 Missing The Rider, Paddington 2 (robbed again) The Hate U Give, Blindspotting and Drax i'm invisible scene.. :D |
Preliminary thoughts, mainly concerned which of my picks didn't make it and what made it instead of them (which may or may not spoil what I do end up picking):

I've added her name. Having seen neither film and not being familiar with her, I left her off as an oversight. |

Re: 2018 Mofo Film Awards
That was the scene in question, yes.
Also, how many nomination lists did this end up getting? |
