    The Director Awards - Steven Spielberg

    Okay... Just like the Matchies, but... for only movies from a Director.

    I'm open to changing the categories and general change for these awards, but thought it would be fun to focus on certain aspects from a Director's group of work.

    Spielberg is pretty big, but when we start getting down to less-seen directors, it'll be hard to get three nominations of an actor/actress separately in my opinion.

    I work in grocery. I have not gotten sick. My fellow employees have not gotten sick. If the virus were even remotely as contagious as its being presented as, why haven’t entire store staffs who come into contact with hundreds of people per day, thousands per week, all falling ill in mass nationwide?

    I like the addition of the Best Scene or Sequence category. It's interesting to see what sticks in people's minds.
