Would be nice to have a list of just all the nominated directors to work with.
at this point any vote for a "nominated" film should be stricken from the results

Just drafting now - I am putting one experimental short, one B-movie, one quasi-documentary. Making sure there is one from every continent (bar Oceania lol) means I need to go to 11
― xyzzzz__, Tuesday, 25 May 2021 13:01 (two years ago) link
Almost done.

Genre-wise: no silents, Comedies or Romance or SF or action, just arthouse and politics and aesthetics day and night lol no
― xyzzzz__, Tuesday, 25 May 2021 13:04 (two years ago) link
but arthouse and politics also include romance and comedies

I mean, how highly placed is The Naked Gun 2 1/2: The Smell of Fear?

Not a lot of laughter in my choices, and all the love goes bad
― xyzzzz__, Tuesday, 25 May 2021 13:13 (two years ago) link
ok - so I have put in a Romantic SF film I've never watched in the cinema but have seen on TV about 20 times.
My Latin American choice was one of the weirdest random screenings of recent years that was just awesome.
So 12 it is! I'll sleep on it and email tomorrow.
― xyzzzz__, Tuesday, 25 May 2021 13:23 (two years ago) link
Took me all the strength to not put Stone's JFK in this lol.
I put in a bunch of Latin American stuff, had to leave out some more, probably forgot about or never saw even more.

You know what they say: James does the Redding and ILX does the Blecching! Aha aha aha!

Not sure how and why but yes, have received approximately 12 new ballots in the last week plus change.

do we have a hard and fast deadline yet?

Sorry for submitting multiple times, Eric. Third time was the charm.
Ballot from Soto received! Thus initiates the last leg of the voting window. Ballots must be received within the dwindling days of May to be eligible!
― i carry the torch for disco inauthenticity (Eric H.), Wednesday, 26 May 2021 16:24 (two years ago) link
Will you post a list of received ballots to allay baseless concerns that important votes may have been lost in the post?
― Alba, Wednesday, 26 May 2021 17:02 (two years ago) link
That might indeed be helpful
― Blue Yoda No. 9 (James Redd and the Blecchs), Wednesday, 26 May 2021 17:28 (two years ago) link
Otherwise I might just send you a fourth ballot
― Blue Yoda No. 9 (James Redd and the Blecchs), Wednesday, 26 May 2021 17:39 (two years ago) link
I have the urge to change mine. Would that be OK?
― Pfunkboy AKA (Oor Neechy), Wednesday, 26 May 2021 18:42 (two years ago) link
There was a fourth ballot.
― Blue Yoda No. 9 (James Redd and the Blecchs), Wednesday, 26 May 2021 18:52 (two years ago) link
I'll update the list before the deadline. Also, if anyone submitted a ballot without their ILX username attached to it, I wouldn't mind getting a clarification email.

Did you receive the ballot from the vaguely sinister Eastern European fellow with a little dog entitled I Was a Friend of Dr. Morbius?
― Blue Yoda No. 9 (James Redd and the Blecchs), Wednesday, 26 May 2021 19:31 (two years ago) link
Is it too much to ask for the director points to be tallied as well, since many of us will pick different favorites, at least those of us who try to stick to the one film per director as closely as possible.
― Blue Yoda No. 9 (James Redd and the Blecchs), Wednesday, 26 May 2021 21:20 (two years ago) link
Eric: I submitted a ballot back in March, but I'm about to email you a new one. Cool?
― edited for dog profanity (cryptosicko), Wednesday, 26 May 2021 21:59 (two years ago) link
To insure fairness, the ballots will be counted by Akim Tamiroff and Brian Donlevy.

William Demarest to stand guard during the tabulation, ya get me?

Crypto, go ahead and submit a revised one

ā Blue Yoda No. 9 (James Redd and the Blecchs),
Not going to speak for Eric, but that's the sort of data massage that this pollrunner loved for an enthusiastic voter to deal with after the rollout.
