Jeebus.

#359

[mention]timmer[/mention] How bout saving some points for the rest of us my guy.

#360

i got lucky with Roma; all my other picks pale in comparison. what a film!

also, timmer, you ABSOLUTE BEAST!

#361

Wish I kept Viggo. Coulda picked up Green Book, Shoulda got Eight Grade.

Next year now that I'm used to playing and know the tips and tricks I'll probably pick up less box office $ and more awards garbage.

#362

A Star is Born is the most overrated movie of at least the last five years

Points is points.

#364

Just to make official what we've all known since before the draft was even over, iron_dwarf has been eliminated from the game.

The Golden Globes are in 4 days!

#365

Here comes the pain

#366

Let's go over the win points for the Golden Globes in 2 days:

"- Nomination: 1 point each (films earn 1 point for every nomination in any category, actors earn 1 point for every nomination they specifically earn, but not for ones their film earns)
- Best Film win: 10 points (film selections only; for the Golden Globes, 10 points will be given to the two films that win Drama and Comedy/Musical); if a studio owns a doc, foreign or animated film they only earn 10 points for BP-equivalent wins, not their genre-specific categories (that counts as "All other categories" below)
- Actor win: 5 points to actor selections, 2 points to film selections (lead and supporting, and only 2 points to an actor and film when part of the SAG ensemble win)
- Director win: 5 points (film selections only)
- Screenplay win: 5 points (film selections only)
- All other categories: 2 points (film selections only)"

So DH has received one point for each of A Star Is Born's various nominations. If A Star Is Born wins Best Picture, DH would gain 9 points as it would now be WORTH 10 instead of 1. If A Star Is Born wins Best Director, DH will gain 4 points (a director win is valued at 5, and he's already counted 1 with the nomination).

#367

Also, the first of the guilds announced nominations today, the PGA.

“BlacKkKlansman,” “Black Panther,” “Bohemian Rhapsody,” “Crazy Rich Asians,” “The Favourite,” “Green Book,” “A Quiet Place,” “Roma,” “A Star Is Born,” and “Vice” have been nominated for the Producers Guild’s Darryl F. Zanuck Award as the top feature film of 2018.

Holders of those films will each earn a point, if they make it to round 4.

Son of a bitch man

Too early to start putting together draft lists/strategy for next season? Nah.

Congrats MP

#372

I don't wanna talk about it,

#373

@insertnamehere @M plus 7

Thx for playing guys but you've been eliminated.

I'll double check my numbers tomorrow but I believe the final tally for round 2 was:

Timmer 42
Golden 15
JJJ/DH 14
Rico/Dunya 13

Inh 8

Mp7 2

Those points are now wiped away and we 6 move onto round 3.

#374

Bruh MP won Best Animated Picture my dude. That's really just a point? Yikes.

#375

Yup.

" if a studio owns a doc, foreign or animated film they only earn 10 points for BP-equivalent wins, not their genre-specific categories (that counts as "All other categories" below)"

#376

Brutal.

#377

To be fair I think the critics awards are going to be all over A Star is Born and CYEFM is basically "Critics: The Movie" so, slam dunkerino.

#378

Yeah Grant has a few wins to get, still, though McCarthy will have to be happy with noms. And I'm a bit surprised at how badly ASIB played out at the globes,... it only got song? That's shocking.

If this year is going to come down to Bohemian Rhapsody vs green book, it will be one of the weakest years ever.

#379

Look I'm just out here playing for second place, I'll take what I can get.

How did none of us grab Bohemian Rhapsody lol?

#389

I had Bohemian Rhapsody for the longest time and ditched it because I figured it'd only be good for Noms which I felt secure in anyway given CYEFM and ASIB.

#390

Duuuude.

timmer wrote: ↑Mon Jan 07, 2019 2:59 pmDuuuude.

I was also hearing iffy reviews on it. Figured "Destroyer" was more in line with the indie BS that seems to matter more in the later rounds. Oh well, I'm

1. Not gonna catch you in pts regardless
2. Not gonna lose out in points most likely given my actors/other films.

Bit of a misstep but not heartbreaking.

#392

Next year (this year?) We should add like, Awards Bingo or w/e its called and just predict/pick from nominees for extra points.

#393

[mention]timmer[/mention] A cursory google/glance at 2019's release slate tells me two things:

1. If we do this again and get more people, everyone will be lucky to have maybe 1 good movie in their rosters
2. I'm gonna need a high draft position.
