BONAFIDE BOSS,

Thanks for pointing out the typo. I believe I corrected it:

Format of the Polls
Title: Oscars 2020 — [Name of the Category]
Description: Which of the nominees of the 2020 Academy Award for [Name of the Category] do you think should win?

Hey Dan, another typo.

The poll header still needs a title correction as of this year, the award previously known as 'Best Foreign Language Film' is now the award for 'Best International Feature Film'.

Peter,

Thanks for the feedback. I've added headings for major and minor categories in the first post.

I consider the following to be major categories:
Oscars 2020 — Best Motion Picture
Oscars 2020 — Best Leading Actor
Oscars 2020 — Best Leading Actress
Oscars 2020 — Best Supporting Actor
Oscars 2020 — Best Supporting Actress
Oscars 2020 — Best Director
Oscars 2020 — Best Original Screenplay
Oscars 2020 — Best Adapted Screenplay

I consider the following to be minor categories:
Oscars 2020 — Best Original Song
Oscars 2020 — Best Original Score
Oscars 2020 — Best Cinematography
Oscars 2020 — Best Production Design
Oscars 2020 — Best Costume Design
Oscars 2020 — Best Makeup and Hairstyling
Oscars 2020 — Best Film Editing
Oscars 2020 — Best Sound Editing
Oscars 2020 — Best Sound Mixing
Oscars 2020 — Best Visual Effects
Oscars 2020 — Best Live Action Short Film
Oscars 2020 — Best Documentary Short Subject
Oscars 2020 — Best Animated Short Film
Oscars 2020 — Best Documentary Feature
Oscars 2020 — Best Foreign Language Film
Oscars 2020 — Best Animated Feature Film

When you suggest a description format and later recommend including a link to the show's page, it would make sense to include that link in the description:

Description: Which of the nominees of [link=tt10305932] for [Name of the Category] do you think should win?

Agree. Done.

= = =

And in the suggested link format, please remove the period from the middle of the sentence (after "discuss the topic here.")

Done.

Since "The" is already part of the show's name ("The Oscars"), you don't need "the" before it.

("Which of the nominees of the [link=tt10305932]")

Peter,

Thanks for pointing this out. Corrected.

You and I have a different take on what's a major and minor category.
Oscars 2020 — Best Cinematography
Oscars 2020 — Best Documentary Feature
Oscars 2020 — Best Foreign Language Film AKA Best International Feature.
Oscars 2020 — Best Animated Feature Film
To me? These are major categories.

I am holding off on assigning Best Original Screenplay since I consider this a major category. If no one else asks for that category in the next two days, I will let you have this category.

Note: Per Peter request, I clarified what I mean by major and minor categories in first post for this thread.

You can't do pick two major categories. I'll pick Best Original Screenplay and Best Original Score.

Yeah no problem. Was confused slightly as to what constituted as "Major" but I'm fine to just do Best Director.

If we restrict one poll per user at the early stage (2 weeks from now) we can engage more users to make these polls. Just a thought.

We have to balance between having polls available long enough before the ceremony and encouraging new poll authors.

cinephile,

Don't know if you heard this or not, but Joaquin Phoenix was arrested around 2 days ago.

Ruby,

Eagles90 requested this before you did. I did not notice this until he pointed this out.
