Looks like Hurt Locker should technically be 2009 as it was just the Toronto Film Festival in 2008.

[TGM]

Looks like Hurt Locker should technically be 2009 as it was just the Toronto Film Festival in 2008.

It won at the Oscars for 2009, so that sounds about right.

[Spinal]

Sorry, I just went IMDb dates on autopilot. I'll fix it at some point.

Looks like Hurt Locker should technically be 2009 as it was just the Toronto Film Festival in 2008.I say we go by festival dates for simplicity's sake. Also, limiting ourselves to films that got a commercial release in the US seems needlessly restrictive, not to mention vaguely imperialist.

[Mysterious Dude]

Seems like we usually use IMDB dates.

[Ezee E]

Sorry, I just went IMDb dates on autopilot. I'll fix it at some point.

I had Hurt Locker all in the ballot, looked at my old ballot, and figured something had to be seriously wrong if I didn't have it in one category.

So I guess let us know what to go by Isaac. Because then The Fall wouldn't count either off of IMDB dates.

[MadMan]

I don't recall participating back then. I still probably have not seen enough from 2008, but I can look.

PS: Pretty sure I did not see any 2008 documentaries. Wait yeah I did.

[Mysterious Dude]

So I guess let us know what to go by Isaac. Because then The Fall wouldn't count either off of IMDB dates.
As your benevolent dictator, I think IMDB dates are the best way to go.

[Ezee E]

Updated.

[Gizmo]

still haven't watched a heaping helping of 2008, but here's some of the bigger categories. I may come back for the others.

Can a documentary be up for Best Picture? Because I looked and my #1 of the year is Man On Wire.

[TGM]

Can a documentary be up for Best Picture? Because I looked and my #1 of the year is Man On Wire.

Exit Through the Gift Shop got a best picture nomination in these awards (might've even won actually), and I believe The Act of Killing also got nominated, so I don't see why that would be a problem here.

[MadMan]

Okay, just wondering.

Seems to me like a lot of people are forgetting about the existence of Two Lovers.

[Spinal]

Seems to me like a lot of people are forgetting about the existence of Two Lovers.

It hasn't had a lasting impact on me like many of these other films have, although I enjoyed it at the time.

[Ezee E]

Forgot all about that too. I'd probably put in Gwyneath and the Screenplay.
