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.

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?
