Re: Reel Society of Film Critics Awards 2015 - The Master Li
I'm really glad you guys are labeling Carrell as a supporting actor because I was having a really hard time debating between him and Benedict Cumberbatch for the last spot in the lead actor category. Now I can switch him to supporting actor and not lose any more sleep over it.

Re: Reel Society of Film Critics Awards 2015 - The Master Li
Thanks for that, I've had a fairly slack year for foreign language titles, only started watching a few recently, but that list has given me a good 6 or so that I need to watch now over the next 6 days!numbersix wrote:Firstly, here's a list of eligible foreign language titles. It's not a complete list,but these would be the major ones:
The Raid 2
Ilo Ilo
Like Father Like Son
Child's Pose
The Lunchbox
Stranger by the Lake
We Are the Best
Borgman
Young and Beautiful
Ida
Force Majeure
Leviathan
2 Days 1 Night
Winter Sleep
Wetlands
And regarding categories, I agreed with both of your examples, though like most years I will try to just place the nominee in the category which receives most votes (eg, if Carrell receives 5 nominations for Best Actor but 7 but Best Supporting Actor, I will move all 12 nominations to Best Supporting Actor).

I would add, to that solid list of foreign language films Six has listes, a couple more :
- "Why don't you play in Hell" by Sono Sion
- "2 autumns, 3 winters"
- "Bird People" (don't listen to Six about that one, it's a must-see)

Re: Reel Society of Film Critics Awards 2015 - The Master Li
I started writing down my nominees.
I support Carell as a supporting actor (pun intended).
Whiplash is an original screenplay, Academy did a mistake.
As for foreign films I am quite an expert, fact is I'm not sure which ones are eligible according to their american releases. I should make a research.
At any rate, you should take into consideration Venus in fur. In the USA it was released in June and I think it's one of the best.

If it's based on a short film, it's an adapted screenplay.

Re: Reel Society of Film Critics Awards 2015 - The Master Li
As far I can tell the screenplay for Whiplash came first, then they made the short film from that same script as way to secure funding for the feature length version of that script.

Re: Reel Society of Film Critics Awards 2015 - The Master Li
That's similar to The Raid 2 (the sequel was scripted first but budget reasons shelved that and The Raid was filmed instead) but in the eyes of most, that's still a sequel. Since Whiplash was already released as a short, it falls under "based on another medium".

Re: Reel Society of Film Critics Awards 2015 - The Master Li
I'd add A Girl Walks Home Alone At Night to that list of Foreign Language films worth checking out, but I have no idea how anyone would track it down right now.
Re: Reel Society of Film Critics Awards 2015 - The Master Li
It that's true it would still be adapted. To deliver the film to distributors (and to close production finance) you need a clear chain of title. Because the short came first the film-maker would have to legally assign the rights of the short to the feature producers (even if they're the same people). So on a legal basis it's an adaptation.jas8382 wrote:As far I can tell the screenplay for Whiplash came first, then they made the short film from that same script as way to secure funding for the feature length version of that script.
But really, I've too many options for Best Original Script, and too few for Best Adapted, hence I'm nominating it in that category.

Re: Reel Society of Film Critics Awards 2015 - The Master Li
I'd also add under the FYC Foreign Language category Gabrielle (Canada) and The Last of the Unjust (Germany, also FYC Documentary).
