2017 MoFo Film Awards

I'm guessing most weren't including 2016 films so Frantz, The Eyes of My Mother and Personal Shopper had little chance.

Yes. All 3 of those weren't released until Spring 2017 in UK. I did okay them with The Usual Suspect. I'm not sure if people voted for them last year ?

Also too bad The Breadwinner didn't make it for Best Animated Film, i'd have nominated it had i seen it on time. It's better than Coco and The Lego Batman Movie, haven't seen the other two.

I have no idea. Just saying i think most will avoid nominating films with a 2016 release date so they didn't have a great chance. The only one i saw was Split and that was a blockbuster plus it was only nominated for Surprise and Trailer i think.

The Greatest Showman shut out? An outrage! Where is Power Rangers and Roman J. Israel???




























All kidding aside, looks legit.

That's a surprising amount of nominations for Good Time. Putting that near the top of my to-watch list.

Oops, forgot to submit a list.

OMG I AM SO HAPPY RIGHT NOW, THANK YOU MOFOS!!!!!!!!!!

Ranking the noms has been discussed in the past. It’s something I might try next year to see if it radically changes the nominations.

I more meant ranking the films in our voting lists, meaning your #1 would get five points if you've seen all five nominees. As some of the lesser known films have very little chance of winning because people can vote for something else without seeing them. I understand it would be a tonne of work though.

Plus there's many that people won't have seen.

I want to see a few movies before voting. Definitely will get to CMBYN and I, Tonya. I think Faces Places will be available before deadline as well. The Square may get watched this week. I don't know if I can do Raw. Someone tell me I have to...I don't know...maybe. I have almost started it a couple times. Unfortunately I will be a year behind on most of the foreign stuff. Don't know why it takes so long for US to get this stuff on VOD. You would think they would want it out there.

Anyway no real big surprises. We always look more like the Oscars than most here would like with a couple of genre exceptions. Good Time and Sacred Deer being those this year which makes sense if you have been on Mofo at all.

Great work Suspect, the thread looks great!

A lot of my nominations didn't quite match up with what made the list, but I expected as much. I'm surprised to see the Dark Tower made the worst films list though. I thought it was fine, and there were so many worse films out last year.

While I expected Logan to get a couple of nominations, I didn't expect to see it in so many categories. I nominated it for Most Overrated, but it didn't make that list of course haha. Most of my overrated nominations were comic book films, actually.

I had Brigsby Bear on my list in a couple of places. I don't think many people saw it.

I havent done Raw yet either, infact quite a few on the list are up for a binge this weekend. I'll let you know. Do we have to watch them to vote? The sandman is still in my eyes.

I love I Tonya but without knowing your taste completely it's incredibly violent IMO and the mother is utterly offensive, Sean.

You don't have to watch everything to vote, I just like to watch as much as possible.

I don't expect to be offended by I, Tonya but how they handle the themes will probably impact my overall feelings. Just judging by others reactions at this point obviously.

yeah I like to watch as much as possible as well.

Do you remember the media attention at the time? I dont recall any mention of the mothers at all but that's bye the bye. I was just curious if you remember it and what you thought, and how different or the same it is once you see the movie.
Also, keep an eye out for the cgi people were buzzing about when it came out.

Yeah, I knew what you meant. It's something that has been considered.

Suspect's Reviews

- I would of loved to see The Killing of a Sacred Deer getting a mention in the cinematography category, since that's one of the pre-eminent aspects of the film.
- I hoped to see the two leads of Loveless in the acting categories, but I figured they wouldn't pop up so whatever.
- Happy End's all-star cast should of also have gotten a nod in that category.
- Categories such as "Best Trailer" and "Best Scene" deserve much better, in my opinion.

Other than that, the nominations are pretty cool. Nice job!

Like I said not a huge fan of The Post but it's trailer was awesome and should have been nominated.

So few people voted in Best Trailer category that I'm thinking of eliminating it next year. It's weird because it should be the one category that everyone is able to nominate in.
