[EwingMan]

TV and Movies...Till December 17th everybody will post their top 15 on these 14 categories and then the most repeated 5 names on the categories will enter the voting stage...

[Mike]

Thats a very ambitious project EwingMan, good luck :D

[Pamela Barnes]

Sounds cool. Do we have to be all glammed up for the event ? :)

Gravy can wear his tux :D

[EwingMan]

I'm gonna count on your TOP 5 suggestions and votes

[EwingMan]

Anytime now you can send your opinions...

[PT Freakin' G]

One question...I overanalyze these type of questions...do the nominations we send in have to be from a certain date through a certain date of release or just any from anytime?

[EwingMan]

Well:

From today-16th December: Post here your top 5 on each category
16th December-28 December: Vote in the proper thread
30 December: Site back, Dress up and look at the results

[Romain]

I think what PrimetimeGuy08 wanted to know was not the calendar of the awards, but the calendar for eligibility: for example, do the movies we nominate HAVE TO have been released after January 1st, 2005 and such and is there a limit release date by which movies not yet released are NOT eligible?

[Garrison]

I'm going to wait to send in my nominations, if you don't mind. Though I have a pretty good idea of who my choices for movies are, the TV season is young.

[Romain]

See, that is exactly what is causing us trouble in knowing what is eligible and what's not. Are we supposed to consider the 2005-2006 TV season OR the 2004-2005 one?

[PT Freakin' G]

Yes Romain, thank you for re-wording it...I wasn't sure how to say it.

You know how like films are eligible for the Oscars if released between ___ and ___...that's what I mean...gosh I still don't make sense, do I? lol

Basically, is any film from any year eligible for nomination?

[EwingMan]

Oh! OK... Well regarding TV. The nominations must regard the 2004-2005 Season.

Movies will be accepted as long as the release dates in the US are between the 7th January 2005 (The first friday, therefore the first premier of the year) and the 28th of December

In case of a draw, there will be a new post made by me in order to decide. I have already reffered to the categories and you can send your nominations any time now.
..

[EwingMan]

I count on each and everyone of you to vote

[PT Freakin' G]

I count on each and everyone of you to vote

Yes, Yes, Yes...I'm keeping my current nominations in the back of my mind..But I wanna wait until nomination deadline in case a good one comes out between now and then -- so dont let us forget lol

[Romain]

OK, thanks for clarifying what needed to be explained, EwingMan.

Does anyone know if there's a list of all movies released this year available on the web by any chance? It would make it easier for us non-Americans who sometimes get movies released the following year in our countries. I know there's usually one that comes up at Oscar nomination time, but we're quite a long way from there right now.

[PT Freakin' G]

I'd just wait until early/mid December

I Want more votes...come on don't be lazy

[Romain]

Maybe you should advertise these awards on the other boards, not only the Movie chat one. I'm pretty sure there are people on SoapChat who don't check out every single board, so if they don't come to Movie chat, let Movie chat come to them...

[EwingMan]

Done that...

Continue Voting

[ladyphadra]

I would like to add The Exorcisim of Emily Rose and SKy High to my picks for best picture. I would like to add Strong Medicene to my picks for Outstanding Drama series.

[EwingMan]

Well that's added but still not a lot of voters ....

[eciton burchelli]

I would do it but I have not seen enough movies and television to nominate anything.

[EwingMan]

No Problem...Just nominate what you've seen....

[EwingMan]

Keep Voting....I wonder why nobody votes...

[eciton burchelli]

I think once you get the nominations in place, people will want to vote on the results, I just don't feel right nominating when I've only seen Batman Begins, Downfall, and Star Wars at the movies and I only watch CSI and Killer Instinct on television.

[EwingMan]

Just vote in what you've got...I'll count in those shows and movies you have mentioned...
