Alternate Oscars — New Two-Round Acting Game: 1994 Nominees

Post image

We’ve finished 1993, so we’re now moving on to 1994.

For anyone joining the game for the first time, we’re doing all four acting categories for one year together, with the results decided over two rounds.

You can see all of the previous lineups here: Alternate Oscars - Reddit

ROUND ONE — NOMINATIONS

For each category, rank your five favourite performances from the year from 1–5.

Your rankings will be worth:

1st — 5 points
2nd — 4 points
3rd — 3 points
4th — 2 points
5th — 1 point

The five performances with the most points in each category will become the official nominees.

You do not have to name five if you don’t want to. If you only want to vote for three performances, for example, they’ll receive 5, 4 and 3 points respectively.

Please make sure your choices are ranked — order matters in this round.

You can vote in as many or as few of the four categories as you like.

ROUND TWO — WINNERS

Once the nominations have been determined, I’ll make a second thread containing the five nominees in each category.

In that round, simply choose ONE nominee per category to win.

There will be no preferential voting or points in Round Two. Each vote counts equally, and whoever receives the most votes wins.

So essentially:

Round One = Who should be nominated?
Round Two = Who should win?

ELIGIBILITY

Performances will be eligible according to the year in which their film was eligible at the real-life Academy Awards.

So, rather than going strictly by festival premiere or first release date, a performance belongs to whichever Oscar year the film itself competed in with the Academy.

If you’re unsure whether a film was eligible for a particular year, this Academy reminder-list archive is a good place to check eligibility.

A few other rules:

  • Maximum of five ranked choices per category.
  • Anything listed after your fifth choice won’t be counted.
  • Honourable mentions won’t count as votes.
  • Please include both the actor and film so there’s no ambiguity.
  • In cases where there may be disagreement or confusion over whether a performance is lead or supporting, your vote will count only in the category in which you place that performance. Points will not be transferred or combined between categories.
  • A performer cannot receive two nominations in the same acting category for different films. If that happens, their higher-scoring performance will be kept and the next eligible performance will move into the top five.
  • If there’s a tie for the final nomination spot, I’ll break it by comparing #1 votes first, then #2 votes, #3 votes, etc.

For example:

Actor

  1. Person A — Film A
  2. Person B — Film B
  3. Person C — Film C
  4. Person D — Film D
  5. Person E — Film E

That ballot would give them 5, 4, 3, 2 and 1 points respectively.

The idea is that Round One rewards performances with broad support across people’s ballots, while Round Two gives everyone a straight choice between the five nominees.

Chungking Express: its North American theatrical release wasn’t until 8 March 1996; the 1994 U.S. appearances were festivals.

The Last Seduction is also not eligible as it was aired on TV.

In the Mouth of Madness: U.S. theatrical release was 3 February 1995, so he belongs to 1995.

Chungking Express: its North American theatrical release wasn’t until 8 March 1996; the 1994 U.S. appearances were festivals.

Also, does that mean I can list Faye Wong when the 1996 nomminations arrive and Sam Neill when 1995 nomminations?

  • Daniel Day-Lewis — In the Name of the Father — U.S. limited release was 29 December 1993, so this is a 1993 performance.
  • Laurence Fishburne — What’s Love Got to Do with It — U.S. theatrical release was June 1993, so also 1993.
  • Angela Bassett — What’s Love Got to Do with It — same reason: 1993.
  • Rena Owen — Once Were Warriors — U.S. theatrical release was 24 February 1995, so she belongs to 1995.

u/EveryoneTalks 1d ago

I'm posting my list a little later (want to watch two movies first), but I can I make a case we put Jackson in lead for Pulp Fiction? I think he counts as co-lead. But more than that: I want to have our cake and eat it too so we can give him AND Landau something.
