Sorry, quick question. In the "Best Director" category, should we be including the director's name (presented like the actor categories) or should we only list the film?

picolas

3. only list the movie in each category, not the person who would win (unless it's an acting category)


thank you.

Haha, this gave me more motivation to see more films from 2011. To bad I won't be able to see films like Play, La Havre, A Seperation. Shame and The Turin Horse, but it should be great fun anyway. Right now is Melancho the big winner of the year.

<---- Como puedes ver, estoy haciendo campaña para Melancho.

Fernando

guys, what we need to do is talk about kevin.

picolas

AGREED. film, director, acting (lead female, supp males), cinematography, screenplay, trailer, music. BOOM

also SUBMARINE.

Fernando

just realized that we dont have an editing category, because that was superb too.

polkablues

Just remember to "DRIVE" your "SUBMARINE" "LIKE CRAZY" before it's "MIDNIGHT IN PARIS".  And, uh.... "TINKER TAILOR SOLDIER SPY".
My house, my rules, my coffee

modage

Christopher Nolan's directive was clear to everyone in the cast and crew: Use CGI only as a last resort.

squints

if drive doesn't win best pic this year. I quit xixax.

tell me another movie that's better.
"The myth by no means finds its adequate objectification in the spoken word. The structure of the scenes and the visible imagery reveal a deeper wisdom than the poet himself is able to put into words and concepts" – Friedrich Nietzsche

Jeremy Blackman

Drive is great, but I can name 3 that were better.
