When nominating a movie, please mention the # or link to the movie so we know exactly which one you're talking about.
When nominating a person or movie, please also try to give some information on why you think they deserve nomination.
If you have already posted without enough info, please edit your post.
If you agreed with a nomination already in a thread, please mention that you do, as it will be easier to determine which nominations deserve to be in the final vote. If you disagree, say so as well along with your reason why.

I've been busy with more worthwhile projects, and I figured some of these needed more time to hash out.
When I get a chance, I'll convert more to polls, but don't worry, I gave each existing polls exactly 1 week from when I created, so no poll has any extra time.
To make things easier for me, study the structure I did for the poll posts, and replicate a post like that in non poll topics, and it'll be easier for me, as I just have to copy and paste.

Okay, I think it's safe to say that the annual award ceremony is cancelled. This obviously wasn't as good an idea as everyone thought it would be, so I think this forum should either be deleted (the good option) or all the topics cleared and the voting restarted (the bad option). Any other options come to mind? Please comment.
I know the site is taking a stand against spamming and repeated voting, but how come this forum is hidden from those who aren't logged in? Many users (including me) like to view the site without logging in. I bet half the users here don't know this forum exists; I certainly didn't for a month.

The problem with the awards was a lot of people simply didn't care, and since I was running it all single handly, it just took too much time when I was doing it.
I would love to have this completed though...

How did you get to the conclusion that a lot of people didn't care? I think the whole site was excited and many voted, meaning a lot of people did care.

Most threads have less than a dozen replies. Some people also didn't even bother to nominate with specific info, generating more work for me, despite numerous requests to be specific.
However if you want to help finish up the last few threads which weren't completed, then great, I'd gladly wrap this years up. But I don't plan on doing it again next year unless we can get another 1 or 2 people to help things moving that are serious about it.

You can decide to cancel the classes which didn't recieve more than 2 nominations, convert the rest, and be done with it.
That's my opinion at least. People have had plenty of time for nominations.

Maybe I'll do that then...

For what it's worth, I think it's silly to try to revive this thing now. I for one have no interest in seeing the results because we are only listing movies up to #314.
Maybe a general user-based rating system would work better for that.
EDIT: Also for what it's worth, I don't think this awards thing is worth reviving either.
