2018 Fantaverse Awards

Post by transformers2 »

Since surfer is away from the boards due to a rough patch in his personal life, I'd like to volunteer to run the Fantaverse awards this year. Everything will be the same as its been in previous years, you'll just have to deal with an obnoxious Masshole running the show this time around ;) Here are the categories and rules taken from surfer's post last year:
The following categories will provide the nominees:

Best Picture
Best Director
Best Actor in a Leading Role
Best Actress in a Leading Role
Best Actor in a Supporting Role
Best Actress in a Supporting
Best Foreign Language Film
Best Animated Picture
Best Documentary Feature
Best Cast
Breakthrough Performance
Best Original Screenplay
Best Adapted Screenplay
Best Cinematography
Best Score
Best Visual Effects

Following the first round of voting there will be 10 nominees for Best Picture, and 5 nominees for each other award. These will then be voted on again to determine the actual winners. Below I have gone into further detail the actual process.

Voting
The voting structure is as follows:

Master voting: everyone nominates 5 movies of the year that should be deemed 'essential viewing'.

1st round of voting: everyone nominates a maximum of 5 nominees in each category. This will produce the award nominees.

2nd round of voting: everyone ranks their nominees in a sliding system of 1-10 for Best Picture nominees, with your favourite gaining a maximum of 10 points, and then you can assign a score for each of the remaining movies as you please, while movies unseen must be given a 0. For other categories it is the same system but on a sliding scale of 1-5. This will decide the winners.

As for the schedule, I'll start the compilation of the Master List right away and I'll keep it open through February 4th. 1st round of votes will go from February 4th-March 4th. I'll announce the nominees and launch the 2nd round of voting on March 5th with the intent of holding the ceremony on March 18th.

I'll play, and I'll add Lucky to the Master List.

Most of the best stuff I saw this year was at festivals, and they won't get a proper release until this year, if ever, so there's probably no point in adding The Endless or Tigers Are Not Afraid. Hopefully I'll remember to do so next year if they get the exposure they deserve.

I think the only one I would like up that isn't already is Three Billboards.

Also, these are the ones I have access to for free. I'm not sure I want to give out the HBO info (it is my parents') and the Amazon info would have to be set up in advance so I can change the password after it's viewed. I wouldn't mind getting a couple codes for our VUDU on the ones we're missing, but I would like some help if possible. New releases run $5-10 apiece depending, but that way everyone can view them.


Baby Driver (VUDU UHD)
Big Sick (Amazon Prime Video)
The Founder (Netflix)
Get Out (HBO)
A Ghost Story (Amazon Prime)
Good Time (VUDU HDX)
Ingrid Goes West (HULU Plus)
Logan (VUDU HDX)
The Lost City of Z (Amazon Prime)
Okja (Netflix)
Raw (Netflix)
Split (VUDU HDX)
War for the Planet of the Apes (VUDU HDX)
Tenet: Criterion Edition. Now with more Backwards Man.

I have Wind River on my personal VUDU, so if anyone wants the login info feel free to PM me. Unfortunately, a lot of the other titles are currently in theaters or not on Blu-Ray/VOD yet.
