Hey, who here would like to play another kind of Oscar game? Okay, to play just create a name for the studio you would like to be. Then select up to five films from 1927-now. Your job is to get your film to win the most awards at the end of the game. Everyone on the boards will be able to vote for the nominee's in each category and will be able to vote for the winners in each category. You may create your own oscar ad for any of your films and post them in this thread.

Please start by posting the name of your studio and the films that you have slated for release. You may post a link to the trailer of your film, or you may create one on your own. I will be rewarding points based on the number of nominations your studio accumulates and the number of wins your studio accumulates. The studio with the most number of points wins.

Who wants to play?

Very good job. Looking forward to this. Also, those people who don't want to create a studio can create theie own film critics awards or their own awards, so the winners will be able to campaign and use your awards to maybe help them or not. Make it fun. macauley

Below is a listing of the categories that you can compete for, there will be six nominee's in each category.

The reviews are in:

Manavendra K. Thakur says, " Her (Sally Kirkland's) lead performance in ANNA would be one of the few truly-deserved Best Actress nominations in recent years."
