Hello Mofos.... Here we go yet again, another year down and another awards ceremony around the corner. How many times have you watched the Golden Globes or the Oscars and wondered why your favourite film isn't nominated or roll your eyes at the obvious choice for the winner? Plenty of times, just like me. Well, here at Mofo you can voice your opinion and award films that matter. Will Black Panther earn a Best Picture or Best Director nod at the Oscars? Who knows, but it might here.... The DEADLINE for your nominations is March 1st. See what movies you can and nominate them before this date. We will then have another month to watch any of the nominated films you might not have seen and will vote until March 31st. But we're getting ahead of ourselves. Just watch as many movies as you can and send me your nominations before March 1st. - You can nominate up to 5 choices for each category. You do not need to nominate 5, if you've only seen 3 films that you feel fit the category, by all means. But you cannot nominate more than 5. - You are able to replace, change or add to your nominations up to and including the final deadline date. - When nominating for Most Memorable Scene....PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE be as vague as possible. If a famous death scene is your most memorable scene, word it so that it does not give away anything surprising. - Please do not post your nominations here, but you are more than welcome to campaign for certain actors, films or directors. If you think Hugh Grant deserves a nomination for his role in Paddington 2...by all means. - When nominating an actor, please specify which film. Some people have more than one film released in any given year. Just so I don't assume anything. For example: Michael B. Jordan was in Black Panther & Creed II. - This year will continue with the 10 Best Picture Nominees, giving more films a chance to make an impression. -Best Trailer has been eliminated. It is one of the least voted for categories, despite trailers being readily available to all. -Any ideas for categories or maybe new ways to tally the votes? Discuss them here. I know we've talked about rankings film choices and awarding the best ranked film instead of people just voting for one movie. Let me know your thoughts on this one. It might be difficult but worth a discussion. Private Message me your nominations. Submitted Lists: GrantD2 Theophile cinemajack Dirk120 Tugg ScarletLion Okay John-Connor Thursday Next Upton Cynema De Bergerac Iroquois cricket CosmicRunaway HashtagBrownies Siddon rauldc14 cat_sidhe Wikipedia is a good source for films released in 2018. If you have any doubt, ask, people will be glad to help out. Some films are released in different countries in different years. Some movies won't hit Australia until 2019 but they are out now in North America. Open for discussion. The categories are: Best Film of The Year Worst Film of the Year Best Director of the Year Best Actor of the Year Best Actress of the Year Best Supporting Actor of the Year Best Supporting Actress of the Year Best Screenplay of the Year Best Animated Film of the Year Best Documentary Film of the Year Best Foreign Language Film of the Year Biggest Surprise of the Year Biggest Disappointment of the Year Most Overrated Film of the Year Most Underrated Film of the Year Most Memorable Scene of the Year Funniest Scene of the Year ‘Mixed-Bag’ Award of the Year Best Cast of the Year Best Cinematography of the Year Breakout Performance of the Year Best Score Best Visual Effects *Mixed bag refers to a film that wasn’t great, but wasn’t bad either. A middle of the road type movie. Previous winners: 2013 Best Film of the Year: Gravity 2014 Best Film of the Year: Birdman 2015 Best Film of the Year: Mad Max: Fury Road 2016 Best Film of the Year: La La Land & Manchester By The Sea 2017 Best Film of the Year: Blade Runner: 2049 2013 Best Director of the Year: Alfonso Cuaron - Gravity 2014 Best Director of the Year: Alejandro González Iñárritu - Birdman 2015 Best Director of the Year: George Miller - Mad Max 2016 Best Director of the Year: Damien Chazelle - La La Land 2017 Best Director of the Year: Guillermo del Toro - The Shape of Water You'll notice last year we had a split for Best Picture/Best Director. That was a first. Are we finally going to stray away from what the Oscars this year and be REALLY ROGUE. Giving more genre specific films the crown? It worked with Blade Runner: 2049. In the upcoming weeks I'll post more details about previous winners, stats, etc. Any front runners? Any films you NEED to see before the nominations are closed? Am I forgetting anything? |
I'm looking forward to seeing who wins, but unless I watch a lot more 2018 movies soon, I won't be able to send a ballot because I've only seen one movie from 2018 so far, and I only watched that movie last night. (It was Avengers: Infinity War because I bought the DVD on Black Friday.)

Re: 2018 Mofo Movie Awards - Nominations
Not too surprised or disappointed to see Best Trailer get dropped - after all, it's hard to get worked up about picking our favourite ads.

Re: 2018 Mofo Movie Awards - Nominations
Oh, not this again. This is for people who actually watch movies.

Re: 2018 Mofo Movie Awards - Nominations
Gotta shout out to Thor's arrival in Wakanda in Infinity War for best scene :D
Best superhero entrance... ever. |
Re: 2018 Mofo Movie Awards - Nominations
Another shout out... this time to Jurassic Park World: The Lost Fallen World Kingdom as worst movie as well.
Maybe even best movie, for the simple fact they actually thought they could just remake a movie and get away with it. |
Re: 2018 Mofo Movie Awards - Nominations
I feel like campaigning for nominations for "most memorable scene" defeats the purpose.
Then again, it's somehow ended up being one of my least favourite categories because I don't associate memorable with good (and judging by some of the winners, neither do the rest of you) . |
I'm not sure what happened this year, but I really only saw a couple of films in theatres. This past month I've been playing catch-up with the bigger releases I missed, so I think I'm up to around 20 so far.
As per usual I'll be updating this post to keep track of what I've actually seen this year, keeping films that may or may not be eligible (due to conflicting release date information) separate. 2017/2018 The Endless Lean on Pete Mom and Dad 2018 Seen Annihilation Ant-Man and the Wasp Apostle Aquaman Assassination Nation Avengers: Infinity War Bad Times at the El Royale Bent BlacKkKlansman Black Panther Blindspotting Burning The Cloverfield Paradox Deadpool 2 Green Book The Guilty Hereditary Hotel Artemis In Like Flynn I Think We're Alone Now The Lingering The Little Stranger Mandy Mission Impossible: Fallout Once Upon a Deadpool Overlord Pacific Rim: Uprising Peppermint The Predator Prospect A Quiet Place Ready Player One Searching Shoplifters Spider-man: Into the Spider-Verse Solo: A Star Wars Story Sorry to Bother You Tag Tomb Raider Transit Upgrade Venom Winchester Won't You Be My Neighbour? Total: 47 To Watch List Shirkers Let me know if there are any films I should add to my watch list, particularly ones that didn't get a major release. |
Re: 2018 MoFo Film Awards - Nominations
I feel like you can pick almost any scene from Mission Impossible: Fallout as the most memorable. Maybe we should change memorable to Best Scene? Or scrap that category as well? I include it because I want some variety to the usual Best Actor, Screenplay, Music, etc.
|
Re: 2018 MoFo Film Awards - Nominations
Include it for sure! This is one of the categories I actually look forward to with this
|
Re: 2018 MoFo Film Awards - Nominations
I'm at 18 seen so far, which is really good for me considering we aren't in January yet.

:up: Always glad to see this come around Suspect. Always also happy you give us a couple of months to watch things we missed in the theater. A lot of those slow roll fall releases hit VOD the beginning of the year.
I am always disappointed at the lack of foreign films available to me, but I will live. |

EDIT - what if you have both? |

Re: 2018 MoFo Film Awards - Nominations
Can't believe you missed the opportunity to say "reloading his guns."
But yeah, they put that shot in the trailer, IIRC. |
Re: 2018 MoFo Film Awards - Nominations
That shot alone should cement the bathroom fight's spot as Fallout's most memorable scene.
Also, anyone else notice how it looks like Cavill just suddenly grows a beard halfway through? |
I read someone saying that Cavill looked like a walking mattress.
