morning wood truancy (Alfred, Lord Sotosyn), Wednesday, 8 November 2017 22:35 (eight years ago)

But then there wouldn't be surprise "omissions" that don't end up mattering because you're free to vote for whoever on your ballots even if they weren't nominated, et al.

Anne of the Thousand Gays (Eric H.), Wednesday, 8 November 2017 22:35 (eight years ago)

Rivette as well!

the intentional phallusy (Noodle Vague), Wednesday, 8 November 2017 22:42 (eight years ago)

What about creators who mostly worked together? E.g. do we vote for "Michael Powell" and "Emeric Pressburger" or is there an option to vote for "Powell & Pressburger"? I'm actually mainly asking this because I want to vote for Jane Arden but she mostly only worked in conjunction with Jack Bond so I'm not sure whether to just nominate her or to nominate "Arden & Bond".

emil.y, Wednesday, 8 November 2017 22:43 (eight years ago)

nearly nominated Jane Arden just now, i guess we've the option to vote for both/either

the intentional phallusy (Noodle Vague), Wednesday, 8 November 2017 22:44 (eight years ago)

TROLL NOMINATION: Charles Laughton

Monster fatberg (Phil D.), Thursday, 9 November 2017 18:08 (eight years ago)

I don't see that as trolling

The Suite Life of Jack and Wendy (wins), Thursday, 9 November 2017 18:10 (eight years ago)

I don't either, but I'm pretty sure that I won't find room on my ballot for him above the many directors who managed at least two great films.

Anne of the Thousand Gays (Eric H.), Thursday, 9 November 2017 18:11 (eight years ago)

Me neither but it's a good nomination, people might want to vote for him. Pretty sure a lot of people consider harper lee one of the greatest novelists too
