HDC Oscar Awards 2007-08
 

We did have the first (and big) version of this awhile back, thanks to Tic. And since the Academy Awards were completed yesterday, it is only befitting to award the best in the Horror Genre in the past year by us, the folks of HDC. This will be following the Academy Awards pattern for the categories.

I will be your host, and hence will not participate in the voting. You, members of HDC, will vote for the best in each category as you deem fit...and the nominees with the most votes will win in their respective categories.

In case of a tie-up in votes, I will gather together a jury of 5 best minds in HDC who have been in touch with the latest horror, and take their opinions, which will count in the final tally.

So...lets get the ball rolling...

The last date for submitting your entries is 08th March, 2008. Hopefully looking forward to the presentation of the HDC Oscars on 09th, accordingly.

All the best, folks. And umm...choose wisely!:cool:

What gives you the right to decide which film is in each category?! Huh?!



But yeh, I'll be voting.

The unconditional backing of HDC in projects such as this.

Besides, the choice of nominees came from several extensive researches into threads in the Modern Horror and Upcoming Horror Sections such as - ChronoGrl's thread, Last Seen Movie thread, discussion threads...and some threads in the General Section too.

Also taken into account was IMDB reviews, forum discussions at IMDB, Bloody-Disgusting, Fangoria etc. So as you can see, I have been working rather hard at this.;)

Still, if you have a nominee other than the ones listed above in a particular category which can replace the original, feel free to PM me.

Wow. You really kinda whammed me there. But still...you...I...YOU EAT SPIDER POO!

Remember the last date folks - 08th March, 2008.

Hope to catch all of you with yet another fantastic HDC project's results soon.

Yeah, we know how it goes.....YOU do all the work....we like it that way....hahaha....;) I haven't seen all the nominees yet, but I will see the ones I can soon, and then do my best I suppose.

Another fine thread V.Honestly your threads and tournaments and overall hard work to keep this board alive is a major part of what keeps me coming back day after day.If it wasn't for you this board would have died long ago.


I'll be sending my votes in soon by the way.


Also do we pm them to you or just post them here or...?

The ONLY thing I would do is put Fido up there for best horror flick, only because I thought it was better than Behind the Mask. I wouldn't vote for either though. ;)
Good job V, expect PM.

As per usual...another fine thread from The Mighty __________V_________



I haven't seen all the movies nominated but will try to do my best in voting.

So are we PMing our votes to you, sir?
