Here's the deal. You think the Academy is bound to get it wrong. They always do. Well, now it's our turn.

I want you to post up your 5 favorites in ten major categories:

Best Picture
Best Director
Best Actor
Best Actress
Best Supporting Actor
Best Supporting Actress
Best Adapted Screenplay
Best Original Screenplay
Best Cinematography
Best Original Score

**Vote for as many or as few of the categories as you'd like.**

- I would also like you to rank these from BEST TO WORST-- 5 points for your favorite, 1 point for your 5th favorite.

- If you DON'T have 5 you enjoyed in a category, rank the ones you did find praiseworthy (example: Best Actor isn't the deepest field, so if you have only three performances you dug, give out 5, 4, and 3 points to those three). Note: If you vote for fewer than three people for a particular category, your votes for that category will NOT be cast.

Sample ballot:

BEST PICTURE
5 points- Seventh Son
4 points- Entourage
3 points- Taken 3
2 points- The Wedding Ringer
1 point- Pixels

BEST ACTOR
5 points- Ben Barnes in Seventh Son
4 points- Kevin Connolly in Entourage
3 points- Adam Sandler in Pixels
2 points- Jai Courtney in Terminator: Genisys
1 point- Johnny Depp in Black Mass

Etc.

- I realize many of us live in cities that get limited release films much later, but all of the major players have gone theatrical or VOD by now (or may be obtained by means of dubious legality), so you have up until after the Oscars (FEBRUARY 28TH) to post your official selections.

I will then add up the votes and post the "nominees" (the top five finishers in voting) shortly after. The official Spilled Latte Awards will be posted after the actual Oscars, so that we can brag when they are posted about how much better our list of winners is.

- PLEASE ONLY VOTE ONCE IN EACH CATEGORY! Multiple amendments make it very very difficult for the person keeping track-- me. So wait if you want to, or make your votes now and inbox me your changes so that I can edit them into your post.

- I'm gonna be deleting extraneous posts that have nothing to do with rule clarification or declaration of ballot formation. So if the post count suddenly drops, you'll know why, lol. Just clearing out the clutter to make my job easier.

- Finally, if you need help looking for additional, lesser-watched films to fill out your ballots with some less-publicized but equally worthy fare, check out the For Your Consideration post, which will remain anchored.

Let's see your votes, people. Choose em, rank em, throw em up.

Is it jan-dec of a given year (2015), or is it staggered differently?

Basically anything that *didn't* make an Oscar qualifying run in 2014.

http://www.movieinsider.com/movies/-/2015

^^^ basically anything on this list except for the films that made Oscar qualifying runs in 2014 (Selma, Inherent Vice, American Sniper, Still Alice, Mommy, Cake... I think those are the only ones, if memory serves).

That isn't a complete list-- there are some limited releases (especially foreign films) that don't appear-- but it's a good start.

i haven't seen enough of the other flicks, so i don't yet meet the minimum required voting criteria....

but i LOVED George Millers supremely directed Mad Max Fury Road SO damn much on so many levels that i seriously doubt anything else on the list is gonna knock it/he from top of my lists...

so yeah, i know that my vote doesn't count because of my lack of other candidates, ...but here's a shout out to my favorite flick last year, most enjoyable experience I've had in a theater in a long LONG time.

Had to add a category because last year was a stand out
