Oscar Picks

The 2024 MoFo Film Awards - Nominations

Tools    





Does anyone want to talk me out of nominating Trap as a horror film?
I thought of it more as a thriller, but you're welcome to nominate it as a horror film. Google calls it a horror/crime film, and it's tagged as horror on IMDB anyway, so it's fair game.

I would love to participate in this, but I generally... at least not of late, have kept up to date in seeing new releases from the current or previous year.

Does Flow count as a foreign language film? There is no dialogue, but it is the official submission of Latvia for the 'Best International Feature Film' for the Oscars.

That is a very interesting question that I'd like to see people's opinions about.

I thought that was just a 2024 film, not a 2023/2024 one. Earliest date IMDB is showing is January 20th 2024. Do you know what festival or limited release it had in 2023?

With online sources citing it as a 2024 film instead of 2023 like the ones listed there, it probably doesn't need to be called out though, since it'll show up in 2024 searches.

Oops! I was mixed up, sorry.


I was probably subconsciously looking for any way to mention Love Lies Bleeding.

No worries! It was one of the films I included in the banner image, so it is technically there in that post anyway though!

Thanks! Adding them now!



I'm honestly having trouble picking a worst movie. We have:


A movie about a sexy snowman.
A romance with a domestic abuser.
An ego project decades in the making.
Madam Web.



Last year I wanted to nominate Messi the dog from Anatomy of a Fall for an acting category, and now after having seen Flow, I think whatever cat(s) they recorded for that may need a little honorary nod as well.



Are non-binary performers eligible for acting awards? And if so, are they considered actors (as opposed to actresses)?


I'm not trying to make a statement, I just have a non-binary performer I want to nominate and don't know where to put them.


As a non-binary person myself, my two cents are to classify them as actors, since they aren't female.

They are definitely eligible for acting awards. The gendered titles of the categories does make placing them more difficult however.

If that's the direction you are leaning towards, then that's probably the best one.

Perhaps in the future we'll need to restructure some of the categories. It's too bad that combining the Best Actor and Best Actress awards into a more general Best Performance one would likely mean a lot less women would get recognition though. That would be the easiest solution, but clearly not a good one.

Yeah, I agree that combining the two isn't the best idea, as it would result in a lot less women receiving awards.


Again, I wasn't complaining about the system as a whole. But non-gendered people should be able to receive acting awards too. I'm going to put them in the actor category.

No worries! And maybe there'll be enough non-binary performers in the coming years to warrant a new category for them, so we don't need to keep deciding where is best to place them. There seems to be more and more in tv at least.



I haven't been able to really watch anything this past week, but now that I have the time, I have no idea what I want to watch haha.

It feels like I haven't seen many foreign films in 2024, and I'd like to rectify that, but I don't really have any on my watchlist either. Suggestions are very much welcome!

Have you seen The Girl With the Needle and Kneecap?

I haven't seen either. The Girl with the Needle looks really interesting though, so I'll definitely add that to my list!

I'm not a fan of hip hop but I just watched some of the Kneecap trailer and it looks like it could actually be a fun watch. I don't think I've seen anything in Irish since I was learning it in school, so I'll likely give it a shot as well.
