The Riffis! Back to Best Actor for a second (Poll)

[ScottotD]

A fine crop of films everyone's cultivating, though I admit to being somewhat disappointed there's not more love for The Insider.

I remember thinking it was good but I've never felt the need to watch it again

Go, Talented Mr. Ripley, The Limey, Toy Story 2, Boys Don't Cry and Galaxy Quest were my issues with number 5

I also wanted to include Talented Mr. Ripley. I really liked that movie.

Go, Talented Mr. Ripley, The Limey, Toy Story 2, Boys Don't Cry and Galaxy Quest were my issues with number 5

I also wanted to include Talented Mr. Ripley. I really liked that movie.

I have it in most of the other categories, but I think the movie isn't quite as good as the others I nominated. Never saw go, the Limey or boys don't cry.

Don't think all that much of galax quest at all.

Maybe shoot kete and pak a pm and give them 24 more hours or something?

[Pak-Man]

We're just doing best picture, right?

My picks would be:

Toy Story 2
The Matrix
South Park: Bigger Longer and Uncut
The Iron Giant
Fantasia 2000 (Despite the title, it came out in '99)

[anais.butterfly]

Ok, I sent Kete a PM. I told him if I don't hear from him in 24 hours, I will just use the first 5 options on the list.

So, we will have our finalized Best Picture Noms by tomorrow night.


Edit: There might be some tiebreakers once we get Kete's nominees added.


Also: People, let's start posting our additional nominees.

Best Actor (Lead and Supporting), Actress (Lead and Supporting), Screenplay (Original and adapted), Director.

Do you want to do animated feature? The Iron Giant is going to be nominated for Best Picture.

Do you want to do animated feature? The Iron Giant is going to be nominated for Best Picture.

Seems pointless - its a foregone conclusion.

If you click "Edit Poll" you should be able to change the number of days the poll runs from -1 to however many days you want. If you don't have that option for some reason, I can sneak in and change it.
