Horror.Com Oscars
 
Horror.Com Oscars

If there is enough interest, I was proposing to do an Oscars style thread. This would be similar to the ‘real’ Oscars but would concentrate on the horror genre.

A closing date of 29th of October is suggested, to give everyone a fair chance of voting, for a proposed Halloween Ceremony.

Please do NOT Vote Now - Will wait to see if there's enough interest before undertaking this project.

These are some categories I have thought of :

Best Horror Film
Worst Horror Film

Best Actor
Worst Actor

Best Actress
Worst Actress

Best Director
Worst Director

Best Producer
Worst Producer

Best Studio (Production)
Worst Studio (Production)

Best Screen Play
Worst Screen Play

Best Character
Worst Character

Which remake would you wish to be made?
Which remake should NEVER be made?

Best Remake
Worst Remake

Best SFX
Worst SFX

Best Soundtrack
Worst Soundtrack

Best Game (on any format)
Worst Game “ “

Best Film Poster
Worst Film Poster

If anyone can think of some other categories, feel free to suggest them.

I'm interested. Sounds good to me. At least, it won't be bad. Similar to the tournaments but all in one. Get's my vote. ;)

Do it, but how about a more reasonable time for us in the UK and other countrys than the awards, that was a big night...

I hide my intelligence quite well don't I...

ferretchucker 09-24-2007 07:45 AM

Truce????????????????????????

Disease 09-24-2007 07:46 AM

because you won that award are you going to be around here more?

ferretchucker 09-24-2007 07:47 AM

Why's you have to bring the awards into it. But anyway, just the same amount.

Disease 09-24-2007 07:49 AM

Ok then, I'm not sure about the truce business though....

Im British, It will be!

Unfortunately because the majority of members are from the 'west' awards/shows seem to follow that pattern; however I am British and even though the likes of the HDC Awards and Gore's radio show are good I am not about to stay upto 3 or 4 am. I do work during the day.

That is why 'I' suggested the oscars so that us 'foreigners' would be able to attend. (most of us wide awake as well) The others can view the highlights, or become imsomniacs as we have to do.

*Maybe a British or European Horror.Com is in order!*

ferretchucker 09-24-2007 08:00 AM

but then there'd only be about 4 members. Do it about 7:00pm so it's about lunch time for the others.

1. Oooh the posh bit ......... well sort of.
2. They are at beginning of the thread, though more can be added.
3. Either this year or any, making it the "the Best Horror of all time" depends on what 'the people' want.

@ ferret I was going to put it on Halloween but it is a 'school day' so am prepared to move it to either the Friday/Saturday before or after

Not that posh, but a good location none the less.

ferretchucker 09-24-2007 08:28 AM

don't do it after halloween. Do it before. You can have more of a halloween atnosphere that way.

tic 09-24-2007 08:34 AM

Ok. The Saturday before. 27th October.
Votes in for 24 - 25th, should be time enough.

Oh Silly me forgot :

You would vote by email / pm. The results will be top secret until the Oscars night.

in time

tic 09-24-2007 09:33 AM

I think the UK is approx 5 hours in front of Us Est, though not sure

I'm guessing most people would be home from school/work by 6 or 7 (US est) that would make it 11 / 12 over here.

Voting will start on or around the 1st of October, it all depends on how many (if any) people want to take part.

Disease 09-24-2007 11:08 AM

It's not untill October... plenty of time rescedule Linda...

bleeding_angelgirl 09-24-2007 11:10 AM
