What's it look more like to you?  And as far as the number of people voting for it goes, well, that can't be helped, but I sure would like everyone who was thinking of maybe voting for it to be maybe to be able to vote for it.

dont be so sensitive buddy, I'm fine if you want to vote for it... what i said is that in IMDb the year always shows next to the title (regardless of the release dates) and that one says 2006. I'm not sure what is our criteria here, if we base our schedule on US release dates, or first release date, or whatever our admins decide.



MacGuffin

If a non-film festival USA release date falls in 2007, then it is eligible. So in the case of Exiled, the NYC, NY release is fine.

The Lives Of Others is also eligible, since the USA release date was in Feb. 2007.


Quote from: polkablues on March 01, 2008, 08:04:37 PMHere's my guess, based on past awards (someone please correct if I'm way off):

Atonement - Knightley, McAvoy, and Ronan leading, everyone else supporting.
Zodiac - Gyllenhall, Ruffalo, Downey Jr leading, everyone else supporting.
Amy Ryan, Tom Wilkinson, and Javier Bardem would all be leading, but Michael Cera would be supporting.  I would say for Juno, the only leading performance would be Ellen Page; everyone else in the movie would fall under supporting.

I'll agree with these, although a case could be made for Amy Ryan being supporting.  :yabbse-undecided:

Sleepless

Marie-Josée Croze in Diving Bell - supporting or not?
He held on. The dolphin and all the rest of its pod turned and swam out to sea, and still he held on. This is it, he thought. Then he remembered that they were air-breathers too. It was going to be all right.

Syndromes and a Century isn't on the official Academy list, but i think it got released in april of 2007.  Will you guys count votes for that film?  Don't care if it has no chance of winning, just want to be sure that my favorite film from last year is at least eligible.

OrHowILearnedTo

Chris Cooper in Breach would be leading right?

picolas

Cooper = leading.

i just want to mention Away From Her. and don't forget Zeitgeist is a 2007 doc.

also if you can, include a link to the specific trailer you're voting for.

I would say each of the actors playing Dylan count as leading.

If I want to vote for the Blade Runner 5-Disc Blu-Ray set, how do I specify that on the nomination? Are we to specify disc quantity and format (Standard, Blu-Ray or HD)?

Just double-checking that the songs from Once do qualify as Original Music.
