I put actors and actresses in whichever of best or supporting they were nominated more in. There's not really a great solution to it. Also, voting is open. I'd encourage people to give it a few days so that we might have some discussion about the nominees, but the process will be similar to nominating. Votes can be submitted either by private messaging me, or emailing goonys2016@gmail.com. If you're going to email, include your user name in the email. All that's required to judge is to have any sort of presence in the CineD forum. You do not have to have submitted nominations to vote. List your selection in each category. If you don't feel comfortable making a selection in a category, that's fine. Please do the categories in the same order I have them here to make compiling the votes easier. Votes are due end-of-day Sunday, February 14, 2016. Further, if you'd like to present a category or two, let me know by posting here. Presenting can be as simple as posting the result, but people have generally taken the opportunity to write a paragraph or two, and some people go a little farther in putting together a video. It's an opportunity to say a little bit about the winner and/or the nominees. People have done some fun things in the past, but it doesn't have to be much. The winner will be provided to the presenter at least a week in advance, with the announcements spread out over the course of the week leading up to the Academy Awards, as we've done previous years. If you'd like to present and don't have private messages, you'll need to provide me with an email address as a way to send you the winner.

No Room anywhere? Now I feel bad for not submitting a nomination. And I don't think it has a chance, but it'd be funny if Chappie won Best Picture and lost Armond White.

Room didn't get a very wide release did it? There's only one theater I've seen it listed at within a two hour radius of me and it only ever showed in the middle of the day so I had no way to see it

Brie Larson was on the bubble, but didn't quite make it. Literally everyone who submitted nominations nominated Mad Max: Fury Road for at least one thing. I'm not knocking any particular nomination, but it's definitely benefitting from having universally been seen. That said, in no category was it particularly dominating the competition. It's nominated for a lot, but all the categories seem to be up for grabs.

I really need to watch Beasts of No Nation. It just seems like it'll be depressing. I see Tangerine got added to Netflix.ca today, so I might be able to catch that one as well.

Beasts of No Nation isn't as depressing as you might fear given the subject matter. It's grim, but not really a tough watch. Shades of Full Metal Jacket. And seeing it will let you vote for Idris Elba as best supporting actor, which is what his performance deserves. Tangerine is also on American Netflix for people who haven't seen it. Ex Machina is included for streaming with Amazon Prime. I highly recommend watching both before making your best leading actress selection. Sadly, Sicario isn't streaming anywhere, but it's absolutely fantastic and worth seeing if you haven't. I won't be disappointed if Mad Max wins, but Sicario deserves it more.

Sad to see Bridge of Spies didn't get more love in the nominations. Guess it didn't make the same impression on everyone that it did on me. Sicario deserves all the awards it gets. Hands down my favorite film of the year. It even gave us the best CineD thread of 2015! Just realized I didn't nominate Cartel Land for best documentary

Why is Mad Max under Musical Direction? Doesn't it just have a score? I thought the category was referring to soundtrack curation.

It's there because people nominated it for it. And, yes, I would highly encourage people to not vote for it in that category since it doesn't have any of what the category is intended to applaud.

Well, musical direction isn't just licensed song choice, it's also the way you implement those songs and use them. Mad Max makes excellent use of its score and is deserving of a nomination. Whereas The Big Short, even with a bitchin' dad rock soundtrack, lays its songs in at the wrong times. Who's loving great idea was it to explain complicated banking information at the same time Lithium and Sweet Child O Mine are playing in the background? Anyway, I'm torn between voting Best Pic for Mad Max, which is the frontrunner and phenomenal and deserving, and Tangerine which is a close runner-up, more of a dark horse, but amazing and worth the praise.

Fury Road got 5 votes from me, followed by The Revenant with 4 and then a few things with 2 or 3. Also, because it seems like no one has laid claim to it, I'd be willing to present for Best Ensemble, and also Moral High Horse if we're allowed more than one.

You're definitely allowed to do more than one, so those are yours. It would be great if a few more people volunteered to present stuff. It doesn't take much to do one and you'll have your result a week in advance of when I'd ask you to post it. You can either pick an unclaimed category, or, if you'd prefer, you can volunteer to do one or two and I can pick categories where you voted for the winner so that you'll know you saw the winner and liked it.

So many of those best picture nominations are incredibly flawed; The Hateful Eight, Chappie, It Follows (which I loved), and Sicario (which I also enjoyed but was nothing compared to his other movies). Also I HATED the Big Short and think I must be the only one. I loved The Revenant and while I can understand why the type of film isn't everyone's cup of tea I can't imagine people can look at it and say it's not worthy of being one of the best films released last year.

So I've decided not to worry about a schedule. If you're posting something, go ahead and do it when you're ready, though ideally we might get them out by the Academy Awards this Sunday just to be done with it. On which subject, our first winner: World of Tomorrow for Best Animation. Always a delight, Don Hertzfeldt moved to digital production with World of Tomorrow, keeping his hand-crafted (now with a tablet) stick figures and embedding them in a world that takes advantage of computer techniques. Hertzfeldt maintains his streamlined art style for this often dark tale of humanity's future, allowing him to produce imagery of grim subject matter rendered in a storybook style, for an effect that's both evocative and funny. http://i.imgur.com/IbZobzp.gifv With the crisp and abstract digital world of the future contrasting with the hand-drawn roughness of the humans travelling within it. http://i.imgur.com/ErTVIGT.gifv Hertzfeldt makes careful use of each frame, updating different layers on different frames to produce near-constant progression in the animation without requiring that every element be animated at a full 24 fps. http://i.imgur.com/fgRq5k2.gifv And with an appreciation for not just the rendering of his sci-fi plotline, but the basic pleasure of an animation of a stick figure child wiggling for the sheer joy of it. http://i.imgur.com/UIcmUx7.gifv It's only sixteen and a half minutes and it's available for streaming from Netflix, so there's no reason not to just go watch it. Unfortunately, I haven't seen our winner for Best Vocal or Motion Capture Performance, Tom Noonan in Anomalisa. But from what I understand, he provides the voice for every character besides the two main ones, so clearly he was a major presence. If you've seen it and and enjoyed it, please feel free to say a kind word.

Due to a fuckoff snowstorm I haven't had much opportunity to put together a post for the Best Documentary and Not-Crash awards, so forgive the sparse nature of this write-up. Best Documentary Best of Enemies Call Me Lucky The Look of Silence The Nightmare Winter on Fire: Ukraine's Fight for Freedom The Not-Crash for Socially Forward Filmmaking The Big Short The Look of Silence Mad Max: Fury Road Magic Mike XXL Tangerine The Look Of Silence was never not going to win these awards. Much like Oppenheimer's previous documentary The Act Of Killing, it is a cut above the rest. Where The Big Short represents people in power and explains their wrongdoing, and Mad Max Fury Road analogises power structures and their wrongs in a fantasy context, Oppenheimer does not represent or analogise, but presents, showing these people and how they hide their guilt. It's not about the past, it's about action taken in the here and now.

Great job everybody! Thanks again for doing those. Best Actor in a Leading Role Domhnall Gleeson, Ex Machina Leonardo DiCaprio, The Revenant Michael B. Jordan, Creed Samuel L. Jackson, The Hateful Eight Tom Hanks, Bridge of Spies Just a really great, relatively restrained leading-man performance without any dependence on the sort of absurd theatrics available to some of his competitors. Simply always where the film needs him to be. Best Actor in a Supporting Role Benicia del Toro, Sicario Idris Elba, Beasts of No Nation Oscar Isaac, Ex Machina Tom Hardy, The Revenant Walton Goggins, The Hateful Eight Probably my favorite all-around performance of the year. He humanizes a monster, even at his most monstrous. Absolutely magnetic and the lynchpin of a story that only just quite isn't about him. Best Actress in a Leading Role Alicia Vikander, Ex Machina Cate Blanchett, Carol Charlize Theron, Mad Max: Fury Road Emily Blunt, Sicario Kitana Kiki Rodriguez, Tangerine An impressively skillful translation of the weird ticks of a humanoid robot into the charming idiosyncrasies of the indie dreamgirl. There's been a lot of talk in this thread about Brie Larson not even being nominated for Room, which I doubt will be helped by the sexy robot winning, but Alicia Vikander absolutely deserves praise for this refreshingly novel take on a fairly cliched type of character. Best Actress in a Supporting Role Jennifer Jason Leigh, The Hateful Eight Jessica Chastain, Crimson Peak Rooney Mara, Carol Tessa Thompson, Creed Yolandi Visser, Chappie Yeah, she's great. Jennifer Jason Leigh's funny, charming dirtbag is a highlight of a movie already filled with great actors giving great performances. CineD MVP Alicia Vikander Domhnall Gleeson Jennifer Jason Leigh Oscar Isaac Tom Hardy Everybody loves Oscar Isaac so I don't think I really have to say much here. He so regularly gives incredibly fun performances that they had to break the fundamental logic of the story in The Force Awakens just so that they could keep him in the franchise.
