Brad,

I know this has been brought up before but we really need to have our own awards. Here I how I suggest this...

We have the best AND the worst awards, various categories.

All those that are registered members for at least say since at least december 31st, 2000, making sure that only active members for at least a year get to vote, and they must have a picture posted or no votes.

Two rounds, first round, nominations. Each eligible voter gets to choose any films from each category for best and worst, say three to five each. Then the second round would be the actual vote on the top three to five from each category.

Then on oscar night, as each category is announced, we can have a chat on line announcing the winners in tandem.

I would be happy to organize and run it, as I have plenty of free time right now.

Dave

If we do this, I would have to remain impartial, so I cant tell you that the best picture was Moulin Rouge.

What does we alls thinks of thiss.

Bob has my finger in stitches.

I think Sissy should get best actress, best director, best plot, best everything. Ever since I first saw her in "Prime Cut" I've been a fan.

(There are advantages to being a little older and knowing these things. She was the feature attraction of Prime Cut.)

Seriously, Sissy and Mary Steenbergen Are two actresses that I will pay to watch, no matter what film they are in. Mary once looked me over at the Miracle Theatre and made my day.

I'd say anyone with a picture and at least 25 posts.

I'm honestly not sure of the best way to go about tabulating such a thing from a webmaster standpoint.

Brad,

I have a couple of ideas on how to make it work. I will email you with an idea or two. Give me a day to figure it out.

Does it really matter anyway? Except for the Technical Oscars the rest of it is actually meaningless!
