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. 11/13: Hot Frosty (on Netflix) 11/23: Three Wiser Men & A Boy (on Hallmark) 11/27: Christmas Under the Lights (on Hallmark Mysteries) 12/14: The Santa Class (on Hallmark)
