2017 Mofo Film Awards - The Nominations

I, Daniel Blake is splendid. Little movie with a great power of impact

What if a film was released in 2017 where I lived, but wasn't nominated in the previous Awards Ceremony, would I be allowed to nominate it?

A reference for eligible films are usually based on the widest release date.

So if a film has a very small limited run in 2016...but gets a wide release in early 2017, then we usually count it as 2017.

Of course I still get nominations for films from previous years so it doesn’t always stick.

If a film was included in Awards last year it is ineligible.

If you are unsure, post the film in the thread and we can discuss.

It does tend to favour North American releases.

The poster took me about 45 minutes. Very basic stuff like cutting it out of original image and adjusting size.

I didn’t mess around with colour at all. I used the clone tool to smooth out the smoke images so it’s not too rough.

One of the more fun aspects of this tradition is putting together the poster. I think it gets better with every year.

Thanks for the recommendation

Can I leave some blank when I private message you?

It was interesting to see the AV Club's film writers talk about their picks and use the phrasing "most welcome surprise" instead of the much more open-to-interpretation phrasing "biggest surprise". Even now, I'm still unsure if it's worth splitting into two distinct categories.

I'm okay with extending the deadline and adding a Foreign Language category.

Yeah, that can't be helped - like he said, we can campaign for whatever films we want and encourage people to consider them, but in the end it really does shake down to a kind of lowest-common-denominator thing because not everyone can (or will) go out of their way to watch the off-beat stuff like Swiss Army Man or whatever. Having it take place after the official awards season wraps up also seems like it influences the results - it doesn't feel like coincidence that last year's Best Film winner was a tie between La La Land and Manchester by the Sea (a.k.a. a double-shot of "not Moonlight").

Yeah exactly. If we were to do the 2013 Awards now i don't think they'd turn out so typical but there's no way to avoid that and obviously you don't want to discourage participation.

So basically great job as always TUS and looking forward to sending my list,

yay getting pm'ed to vote for a movie the guy hasn't even saw

sure you have

Really mature.

Yeah, that's got to be the first "for your consideration" message someone's actually made. Could've been pasted straight into this thread, though.

Oops, Sorry bout that.

My bad.

I dont need to go see a garbage film to know its garbage

In any case, I've already been hearing about Call Me By Your Name for months on end now to the point where I'm all but expecting to dislike it. Still, I remain optimistic and I may end up seeing it this weekend so we shall see.

Meanwhile, I am a moderately successful Holden Pike knock-off.

... Sooo. What knock-off am I?

I never tried to act like I've seen it and im not going to see it
