2013 Xixax Awards: FINAL VOTE

[Jeremy Blackman]

It's time to vote for the 2013 Xixax Awards! This is the final vote!

Send your ballot to me. The deadline is Friday, April 26.

Any questions? Ask them here.

The Master & second choice voting
If you're voting for The Master in a category, you can also include a second choice. If The Master wins that category, your secondary selection will be counted for the runner up prize. You don't need to rank your second choice or do anything special. If you've included The Master and one other choice, we will know The Master was your first choice. (This doesn't mean you can vote for JP and PSH.)

Important information
- See the second post for the nominated posters and trailers.
- The DVD category has been eliminated due to perennial disinterest and desperately low turnout.
- This year we decided not to break any ties, so several categories have fewer than 5 nominees.

Guidelines
- Copy the form below and paste it into your PM. Delete all titles except your vote, elimination-style.
- Remember, you can vote for some categories or all categories.



COPY AND PASTE, THEN DELETE ALL BUT YOUR VOTE...

this was the first year I didnt nominate  , I was (am) flooded of work, anyway, Im really surprised (shocked even) that Zero Dark thirty didnt get nominated for best pic, director and screenplay.....and that Django OTOH got a lot o love...

[Stefen]

I didn't vote either. I just moved to Dallas/Fort Worth and a new job and didn't get a chance to catch up on some stuff. I'm going to make up for it by nominating the shit it of redux next year. Surprised theater kid got nominated twice in fab female understudy. Overall good nods tho.

[polkablues]

Do you even go to this school?

[RegularKarate]

I just moved to Dallas/Fort Worth

Word?!?!  Come visit Austin!!!

[The Ultimate Badass]

I didn't get my ballot in on time, but this selection is more or less representative of how I would have voted. My only issue is with the non-inclusion of the long tripartite Cloud Atlas trailer in the best trailer category. It promised an epic and intriguing film that the actual film couldn't deliver, but the trailer was pretty epic and beautiful--at moments-- all by itself.

Word?!?!  Come visit Austin!!!

I'll be there sometime this summer. I'll hit you up.

[Jeremy Blackman]

We have a good turnout so far. Keep 'em coming! Some contests are still close...

[ElPandaRoyal]

I still have to see Rust and Bone (and, like, all documentaries in that category which I don't think I will due to lack of time) and then I'll submit my votes.

[Reel]

vote for WEST OF MEMPHIS!!!!

[Jeremy Blackman]

West of Memphis is hereby disqualified.

[Jeremy Blackman]

Only 2 more days! And this deadline will definitely not be extended.

[ElPandaRoyal]

Now that the voting is closed, I have to say it: how the fuck can Melancholia still be nominated for anything?

OK, now I got it out of my system...

[Jeremy Blackman]

The real question should be how did it not win everything.
