Attention fellow Xixaxers! On this, their twelfth year, the Xixax Awards are entering a new era! One of modesty, of restraint, and indeed, of unprecedented simplicity.
Here's how this will work:
- In this very thread, members will suggest nominations. (More on that below.)
- Admins will decide final nominees in an authoritarian yet benevolent fashion, greatly drawing on this thread.
- We'll post polls for each category, and that will be the final vote.
Past Xixax Awards have involved a long, drawn-out process, and frankly a lot of work from everyone involved. This should make participation virtually effortless, optimized for your fast-paced 21st century lifestyle.
Now there's no reason to be left out. If you care at all about any 2013 movies you've seen, speak up!
So let's get started!
Post your nominations here, in any format or quantity you choose. Doesn't matter. This is an informal process. Make several posts if you want to; post what you can think of now, and come back for more later.
Is there an underrated film you're especially passionate about, or an incredible performance that no one is discussing? We're especially interested in those unusual choices to fill out categories.
If there's something you'd like to nominate that's embarrassing or shameful, PM me (http://xixax.com/index.php?action=pm;sa=send;u=21).
These are the categories. Obviously, suggest nominations for whatever you want. One, two, or all of them. If you're not sure which category a performance belongs in, don't worry about it.

Act of Killing was so barely available in 2012 that it definitely counts as a 2013 nominee.
Also, Punch's worst film nominees reminded me that Drinking Buddies definitely deserves a Best Female Perfomance for Olivia Wilde. I never gave her much thought as an actress before, but she was so, so good in that movie. I would also nominate Jake Johnson as a dark horse for Best Male Perfomance.
EDIT: Definitley definitely.
Have been updating my original post, but a mention for Toni Servillo for best leading dude.
And let's give a VFX nom for A Field in England. Rather sparse category this year.
Quote from: classical gas on March 22, 2014, 11:39:48 PMThe internets credit it as a 2012 release.
As Polka was getting at, don't go by the imdb release dates, because they usually include festivals. Usually look for at least a NY/LA limited theatrical release. Or just use the Academy list.
Best film : Blue Is the Warmest Color, Inside Llewyn Davis, Her, 12 Years a Slave, Short Term 12
Best female performance: Adèle Exarchopoulos
Best male performance: Joaquin Phoenix
Best TV Show: The Good Wife, Mad Men, Breaking Bad
best poster: Under the Skin (you know the one!)
Is there a thread for Short Term 12?
I saw it and felt very meh about it, like an absolute indie sundance bait movie, complete with a ludicrous (SPOILER) car destroying scene at the near end. (END OF SPOILER).
(SPOILERS FRO FRUITVALE STATION?)
Fruitvale Station seemed to me way too benevolent with it's lead character, avoiding any kind of negative trait upon him as to create artificial sympathy for him. The only thing that really stood out for me was the lead's performance precisely because he could inject actual humanity into a tom hanks version of a real person.

I thought they started him off as a flawed individual who was trying to fix himself. That's what made it more tragic.

idk but anyway i'm always off the rail, so real quick: isn't the car scene some rolling thunder? as in, a totally justifiable action against a completely despicable character. that's how i see it. i'd like to hear what you mean by "ludicrous" and "sundance bait." maybe you see it as rolling thunder but still don't like it. that's how i felt about nebraska's punch

SPOILERS FOR BOTH ST12 AND FRUITVALE STATION.
I saw the film as reasonably logic and centered in some sort of documentary like reality (as far as portraying the efforts of these guys to give the kids some hope for the future) until that scene, which felt more like a moment for the audience to cheer than a logical step to be taken by that character in that situation. not to mention there's absolutely not real consequences for the guy who she did this to, or her, or anyone. the sundance bait comment, snarky as it is, has to do with the subject matter, the handheld (and uncreative) camerawork, the artificial slacker niceness of every young social worker and what felt to me like a general superficiality. it just seemed like this universe is way more difficult than what is shown, but it's better to have a feel good movie about it.
fruitvale station had kind of the same problem for me. why is every scene about how this guy is DETERMINED to be a new man? he acts as if he's been the nicest human being all his life. you wonder how did he ever got into such trouble. when he throws away his stash of pot (with us knowing he's broke and owes rent and shit), and when he pets the dying dog, it just felt way too dedicated to the bulding of the character as a complete tragic case. however, I know that when people say "today i'll be a new man" is because they have a long history of being assholes, trainwrecks and dangerous individuals. you never feel that in the movie. it reminded me of tom hanks in road to perdition, where he is supposed to be a ruthless hitman for the mob and all you see is this super nice dad sacrificing himself for his son. only there it made more sense because it was told from the point of view of the son. this was just a filmmaker putting all his energy in leaving no doubt of the character's goodness, manipulating the audience into the thought: "man, if only he had the rest of his life to live, he was going to be a great man".

With dead black bodies there is always the issue of humanizing the carcass & proving ones innocence i.e Toxicology test for drugs & alcohol. Ryan Coogler said his mission was to humanize Oscar Grant with the film i think he achieved this, the film was based on this particular time close to his death where he was trying to change. I don't see how this isn't an accurate portrayal
I don't know it it's accurate or not, and the color of the man's skin is certainly not what I'm talking about. I'm saying the film does all it can to create artificial sympathy for the character, as if the fact that he's a human being unjustly murdered is not enough. the pot scene felt like a moral stretch and now I find that it never happened, and the dog scene felt corny and too obvious as symbolism. the film would be better without them. don't want to hijack this thread no more, but 2013 was an incredible year for movies. too incredible actually, to the point that a terrific film like ain't them bodies saints didn't make my final six choices for bp. I'm just trying to point out why some of the beloved films shown here are not, to my eyes, worthy of being on the list with all the others.

while snowpiercer has a 2013 imdb year, it hasn't had a wide release yet.

Moonrise Kingdom
Anna Karenina.I'm also gonna go ahead and suggest
Robot & Frank since The Master is obviously going to win again anyway, and I only saw R&F in late 2013 and thought it would actually qualify for this year. Small film, but I really enjoyed it and felt bad not nominating it for something a year ago. If you haven't seen it you should check it out.
the list is not conclusive.
i will be personally fighting to make the awards interesting.
a HUGE part of this is up to you people.. if no one gives a shit about technical awards (as i don't) then so be it.. nominate your own strange categories.. you have a few more days before i can fight no longer.. make a case for worst performances, make it like the razzies, name any trend you thought was insane last year, tell me how shit Brad Pitt was in 12 Years a Cunt... and so on.
it's all up to you.
Sleepless, what I listed above is simply what I collected from this thread, not yet adminified. I will add your new suggestions and Lottery's and 03's, and anyone else who pitches in soon.
Looks like I missed your original Hobbit nomination (woops), but since you called it Special Effects I think I get off on a technicality.
And like Pubrick said, if someone is inspired to add a new fun category, perhaps even for something only relevant in 2013 that will never come back, lay it out here.
