All Oscar Polls: Category: Oscars

Format of the Polls
Title: Oscars 2020 — [Name of the Category]
Description: Which of the nominees of [link=tt10305932] for [Name of the Category] do you think should win?

Please initially limit your poll suggestions to one major category and one minor category to allow other poll authors the chance to suggest Academy 2020 related polls. If someone has not created a poll for a category after one week after the announcement, that category is open to everyone.

Award polls, such as the Oscars 2020 polls, are a good opportunity for new authors to learn how to create, suggest and mature polls. When a new author suggests the same poll as an established poll author, we will give consideration to the new author and ask the established author to defer to the new author. We will also list both poll pending poll suggestions as appropriate.

Please do not make lists and discussion threads until the nominations are announced?. It needlessly clutters the board, making our jobs as admin a bit harder.

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'.

Dan,

Please clarify what you mean by major and minor categories.

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?

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

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 Documentary Short Subject
Oscars 2020 — Best Animated Short Film

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]")

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.

This year I am not making any Oscar category polls like last year.

I would love to make the Favorite Winner poll after the ceremony.

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.

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

Dan, could you add a note asking that people no longer actually make lists and discussion threads until the nominations are announced? It needlessly clutters the board, making our jobs a bit harder, for one.

Also, "Which of the nominees of the 2020 Oscars..." probably has a more appealing  sound and appearance than "Which of the nominees of the Oscars (2020)..."
Of course, it may be too late to make that change.

Ruby,

I made the edits you suggested. Although it may not make any difference regarding delaying making list and discussion threads.

Umm, I already picked Best Original Screenplay and Best Original Score many hours before rubyfruit76 and cinephile but for some reason both of them and Dan decided to ignore me...

Oscars 2020 — Triple Producer-Director-Writer Efforts
The movies of the 2020 Oscars are noteworthy for being driven by individuals who manned multiple critical positions on each project. In fact, every movie nominated for Best Picture in 2020 was led by a multi-tasking director. Six of the nine Best Picture nominees were led by directors who manned three key roles, while the three remaining Best Picture nominees were led by directors who were credited with only two roles on their film.

(added introduction to tie the poll to the uniqueness of this 2020 Oscar event)
