THIS IS NOT FOR FRONT-RUNNERS.

Let me just repeat this one time.

THIS IS NOT FOR FRONT-RUNNERS.

There's no point in hyping Chiwetel in 12 Years, Leo in Wolf of Wall Street, Meryl in August, Sandy in Gravity, or J-Law in American Hustle here. They're all gonna be in it. We know this.

This is a post where, before the voting for our year-end awards (called the Spilled Lattes, for newcomers), you have a venue to encourage folks to seek out lesser-known, underrated, infrequently viewed, and otherwise potentially ignored films and performances.

This is NOT an official ballot, NOR do you need to promote your #1 picks here. Pick the things that you want to see getting support that you think will go unnoticed without some extra shout-outs.

Please also reply under the respective category heading.

And if you need a reminder of what came out this year, feel free to check our post containing links to every post about a film from this calendar year: http://board.okayplayer.com/okp.php?az=show_topic&forum=6&topic_id=656764&mesg_id=656764&page=3
