For 11: First 8 are ranked with an additional 3 that are worth 1 point each. For 12: First 8 are ranked with 4 additional, however #8 will be worth 2 points instead of 3.

MindCrime Posted February 6, 2010 Author Report Share Posted February 6, 2010 I think I've got my top 2 votes from the list of possibilities already, but I doubt I'll be the one nominating them. Farin, I'm surprised to see you pick a movie so far before your time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steel2Velvet Posted February 6, 2010 Report Share Posted February 6, 2010 Why not just vote our top ten (or twelve) from the list? I mean, just picking 2 from all those winners seems excruciating to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MindCrime Posted February 6, 2010 Author Report Share Posted February 6, 2010 Why not just vote our top ten (or twelve) from the list? I mean, just picking 2 from all those winners seems excruciating to me. With 81 nominations, that would mean the #1 only getting like 25 points or so. That list needs to be reduced by around half for this to work properly. I'm sure all the good / popular choices will be nominated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MindCrime Posted February 12, 2010 Author Report Share Posted February 12, 2010 When do nominations close? I'll probably close them after around 30+ noms are in. I'm waiting to see if some of the others are going to participate or not. Your first two picks are eligible choices, thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
