Would it be possible to prolong the deadline til monday 17th? I have yet to see 4 films from the best pic. category and one of them won't be able to see it, but the other three I will but not in time for the deadline.

[Jeremy Blackman]

We kind of want to wrap this up as soon as we can. Unless we get more requests to extend the deadline, it is April 14.

[Jeremy Blackman]

MacGuffin is right... every vote really does count. There's usually a surprising number of tiebreakers.

[modage]

Yes, I was just saying this morning that it's too bad _____________(Your Favorite Film here)___________ didn't receive a few more votes or it might've changed everything.

[godardian]

As one of the admins who is not counting votes, I'm very curious to see what the outcome will be. As far as I can tell, there have been no really strong indications or obvious leaders in most categories; but I think the worthy nominees in all categories far outweigh the ones I don't consider so worthy.

[I Love a Magician]

Well, I'm about four minutes late but I'm gonna send my votes in anyway.
