Dan,

Thanks for making this thread.

I would like to officially request taking the following poll:
Oscars 2019 — Best Motion Picture

I will, however, refrain from making that discussion thread until the nominations have been announced. 

If it counts as a minor poll, I would also like to request:

Actually, Sonu claimed it three days before you on the Polls for the 2019 Academy Awards thread. The issue is neither of you followed the instructions to "Please refrain from suggesting polls for any of the 2019 Oscar categories until the nominations are announced." at 8:30 AM PST on 22 January 2019. Hence, the confusion and duplicate poll suggestions in a number of categories. To be fair, both of you weren't the only ones who jumped the gun.

The nominations will be announced on Tuesday, 22 January, 2019, at which time a discussion thread with more information will be posted.
For me (and I think for most of the poll board members) Dan's message on Tuesday 22 January (the exact hour was never mentioned) triggered the opening of the Oscar polls, after which I as well as all the others including yourself reserved their polls. By 8:30 AM PST on that day, all major categories were already taken.

I'd like to make the poll for Best Supporting Actress and, if it's considered to be minor, Best Documentary Feature (if it's not, I'll do Best Documentary Short). Regardless of whether it's minor or not, if someone wants "Best Documentary," just let me know and I'll do the short doc. 

I'd like to suggest allowing a newer authors, or especially an author whose polls haven't racked up a lot of votes, to do "Best Lead Actress," since it hasn't been taken yet. I was hoping we could put a few of the big awards aside for such authors but we could at least keep Lead Actress open. 'Just a suggestion for those who agree.

I don't know what Dan intends with major and minor, but I guess major would include at least Best Picture, Director, Actor/Actress, Screenplay x 2 (=Big Five) and probably Supporting Actor/Actress (ie. the first 8 categories that Dan lists).

Oh, sorry, Eagles; I didn't see that you chose Best Actress. I think when I started my post, you hadn't posted yet but it took me so long to finish my post because my cat kept jumping on my laptop, lol, that by the time that I actually submitted my post, you had posted your choices. I'm glad you're doing Best Actress. I was hoping someone besides those of us old-timers with a gazillion polls and votes, lol, would get the chance to do one of the really big categories.

I would suggest linking from polls to this thread so voters can find more Oscar polls.

I would also suggest linking to the show page to let polls appear on that page: [link=tt9168816]

Dan, please correct the reference to the "2019 Golden Globes Award" in your suggested question to the Oscars; I'd prefer "91st Oscars" or using the above link.

Please also remove this part, which is not relevant:

This should say "Academy Award" if it refers to a single award. Most contributors have used the plural form "Academy Awards", which is also acceptable when referring to the ceremony.

And maybe it's good to make a format for linking to the Oscars 2019 list and to the Oscar Show page. So we don't have to think about a line and everybody can use the same format.

Dan, Here are two possible ways to cleanly link to The Oscars (2019) show page, thus letting polls appear on that page and letting them take advantage of high award season traffic on The Oscars (2019) page, award season cross-promotion and possibly increase overall vote totals (with your approval).

option #1 - The Oscars (2019) page poll link as an IMDb promo sentence example
A unified The Oscars (2019) show hyperlink and IMDb's Award Central Oscars Guide. hyperlink sentence (placed below award specific question and above discussion/poll list hyperlink)

Get complete The Oscars (2019) coverage on IMDb's Award Central Oscars Guide.

example: Oscars 2018 — Best Original Song
[b]Get complete [link=tt9168816] coverage on IMDb's Award Central [link=https://www.imdb.com/oscars/] Oscars Guide.[/link][/b]

option#2 - The Oscars (2019) page poll link integrated into question example

Which of The Oscars (2019) nominees for the 'Academy Award for Best Animated Feature' do you think should win?

example: Oscars 2019 — Best Animated Feature Film
[b]Which of [link=tt9168816] nominees for the [link=https://www.imdb.com/event/ev0000003/2019/1/] 'Academy Award for Best Animated Feature'[/link] do you think should win?[/b]

I think either of Urb's ideas would work well. 

Also, I'd suggest changing "Which of the nominees of the 2019 Academy Award for [Name of the Category] do you think should win?" to the following:

Which of the nominees for the 2019 Academy Award for [Name of the Category] do you think should win? 

(An award can't nominate anyone and people don't receive nominations of an award so, grammatically, "for" is the better word, I think.) 

Thank you, Dan, for organizing all of this and posting the great FAQ. : )

Good luck everyone guys who are participating on making these polls. I thought I would see some new authors participating on this. But, unfortunately, that's not happening. That's why I posted about 1 PS per user. And nobody cared about that. Great!

Anyway, I have something to say, specially to the IMDb Poll admin. I am joining to a new company from tomorrow (January 23). The work pressure will be pretty high. And I may not be an active member of this community after that.

Dan, please take control of my "Home Page Poll" FAQ. The dates are as of India Time.

DPSG, all my pending PS will be active and I would be grateful if you consider them like other polls.

I'll let you know if I can make the "Favorite Oscar Winner" poll this year.

It has been an wonderful journey and I enjoyed every moments with you guys.

Also, please check for duplicate or later made PS of my primary PS made by someone else. It hurts when a later made PS gets published over mine, because it takes time and effort to create those PS.

Dibyayan, you will be missed, I hope you can be around from time to time.


While I never do Oscar categories suggestions unless its necessary, I agree with your one poll per person suggestion to let more people participate, and only if there is not enough people then allowing for a second one. It may be late for that, but in any case.

DC,

Best of luck with your new job. We will miss your contributions and carry on. Please be sure to stop by periodically as time permits.

We probably should have limited the Oscar polls to one per person. However, the genie is out of the bottle.

Oh, and I didn't see your post about one poll suggestion per person but I agree that's a great idea and I was hoping to see more new poll authors get some Oscar polls, as well. On that note, I included a note on my GS post for my Oscar poll that if a relatively new author, or an author whose polls haven't received a whole lot of votes, want to do one of the Oscar categories that I have to let me know. If you know any such author, you can let him or her know.

By the way, for selfish and nostalgic reasons, lol, I hope you're able to make the "Favorite Oscar Winner" poll. As we've talked about, I like staying up late on Oscar night with you and a few other pollsters, making polls and talking about the ceremony. If you absolutely can't, I nominate the idea that you choose to whom to bequeath it (and I take myself out of the running because, for the sake of nostalgia, I'll probably be busy making my annual "Most Earned Standing Ovation" or "Memorable Moment" poll, lol). :)

There are at least three users who have tried to post categories that other authors have claimed in this thread. You can see them linked in Dan's list. If you wish, you could suggest to one of them that they do Best Doc.

Ed, Dan, Pencho, Peru,

Thank you.

I vote on the polls regularly. But don't get time to see GS posts or make new PS.

Suzy,

Thank you for such kind words. Please keep your Oscar PS. It has been a long since your last poll was published.

At this moment, I am not sure if I can make "Fav Winner" poll. If I can't, I would like to refer that to Chandra Bhanu Solanki, who made GG 2019 Fav Winner poll.

I'll let you know my final decision that day.

Dibby, If I could cook, I would  take a photo of something really good to celebrate your new job. A microwaved baked potato just doesn't seem very festive, lol. 'Nothing like the food photos you post. :)

Ruby, despite your scruples I shamelessly took a photo from Google to insert it here. :)



My mother makes always makes these things for New Year's Day. She puts an almond in exactly one of them. Each family member choses his "New Year's roll", and the one with the almond is expected to have a lucky year. Looking back at the years it actually seems to work, lol.

DC - Long story short, may you have as much as luck in your new job as if you found a magic almond!

Since sound editing and sound mixing don't have a volunteer. I'd love to suggest them.
