The Ten-Years-Later Match Cut Awards - 2007 - Nominations Thread

[Lazlo]

With people talking about the Match Cut Awards results compared to the past ten years of winners, I got the idea that we should go back and re-vote the 2007 cycle. I've seen people argue that the Oscars shouldn't be given out until ten years later to allow opinion to fully coalesce around a historical sense of quality rather than an awards season narrative. So this is a similar idea.

Each summer let's go back and re-vote the Match Cut Awards and compare them to the original winners. Let's get it started now with 2007. The Best Picture winner was No Country For Old Men. Will that stand? Gimme your nominees (five per category) of the best stuff from IMDB dated 2007 movies. Concern about US release date is out the window, so the movie pool is just slightly different.

Deadline is 11:59pm EST next Thursday, May 25. Here's your categories, let's go!

Yeah, so did I. But IMDb says 2007. Must have changed somehow. Weird.

Putting this at the top: I see big lack of Sunshine in (at least) the technical categories. Especially that score!

[Skitch]

Great idea. I've been an advocate for this concept forever.

[Idioteque Stalker]

Even 10 years later, I don't have a huge number of films from this year that I'm particularly crazy about.

I felt this way at first glance, but now I'm having a tough time whittling categories to just five nominees. It probably doesn't help that I haven't seen many of these movies in 10 years.

This is a lot harder when you've got almost a hundred movies to go through (instead of 23), and you haven't seen most of them recently. Last time, I nominated Tilda Swinton for best supporting actress in Michael Clayton. I do not remember Tilda Swinton being in Michael Clayton. Or anything else about Michael Clayton.

Are we going by imdb to determine eligibility or is this a free for all? I was able to dig up my old ballot but it's loaded with not-2007 films because of the US release date thing. Hashing that stuff out now is weird. Like of course I would nominate Secret Sunshine for everything... or do I wait for the 2010 revisit?

My old ballot looks like I tried to put Paprika and Tekkonkinkreet into everything. If I can't do that again, I'll settle for putting the ATHF movie in every category.

Some of my absolute favorites here, but outside of that, a pretty tough movie year...

Juno, My Blueberry Nights, Atonement... All I probably liked initially but don't remember a thing now or shrug about.

But still... No Country, TWBB, Zodiac trifecta...

[Lazlo]

Let's stick to IMDb. It opens the fewest cans of worms I think.

[Mr. McGibblets]

Would people be interested in a Best Soundtrack category? This year features a bunch of great ones and it would also be a way to recognize the music from something like I'm Not There which is created for the film, but isn't an original score.
