Sure. It's been easier than ever to watch the nominees.

The only slight problem is for us non-US folks, as some of the awards darlings have been pushed to the summer, like Nomadland and The Father. That said, there are, ahem, ways of seeing them.

Yeah I figured that could be an issue. Hopefully our peers that are in the same predicament share your willingness to partake in viewing things on alternative platforms ;)

Will VPNs work with HULU or Fandango? I wouldn't mind splitting, say, The Father on demand if you guys can watch it there too. I don't have a HULU account right now but will probably grab a month or so to watch Nomadland and you guys can jump on that if you'd like.

I'm not sure if I'll do the awards this year. It depends on how much I watch in the next month or so.

VPN's are a complete mystery to me, so I can't help you there. I'm planning on renting The Father early next week (probably Monday) and I'd be happy to send you my VUDU login so you can watch it afterwards.

I've used a VPN to make it look like I'm in another country for tv watching reasons, but I'm not sure if it'll work with those places. You may not even need it for VUDU or FNow anyway.

Hey guys, I'm up for it, of course. For once I have Netflix, I can watch some of the films I couldn't other years !
Obviously there are other films, yes, that won't be easy to watch, but it's the same every year so I don't mind.
So yes !

Here's the plan I came up with to proceed. Let me know if you have any objections.

-Master List voting can start now (just post your picks in this thread and I'll put them in the initial post), 1st round ballots in by May 3rd, Ceremony on May 16th. Figured giving people another few weeks to catch up is only fair since I just proposed this last week and hopefully we can get at least a couple more people on board to balance out the committee further.

-Eligibility will be the same as the other awards shows during this cycle (Anything released in the US from January 1st, 2020-Feburary 28th 2021). Just a reminder that some non-English language titles including Bacurau, Deerskin and The Wild Goose Lake that were released elsewhere in 2019 are eligible here.

-All ballots can either be PM'd or emailed to me at cmaitland421@gmail.com.

What a strange year this has been. Already three giving their Master list, and several films cited I haven't even heard about before. This is gonna be interesting.

Okay so here are my suggestions for the Master list. Several films were already cited I would have named, like Sound of Metal, First Cow or Bacurau.

- Time to Hunt
- The Climb
- Never Rarely Sometimes Always
- Uncle Frank
- The Traitor
