While I have everyone's attention, I do have a little questionnaire about the MoFo Film Awards that I'd appreciate everyone fill out once they have the time. If you are not comfortable posting your answers in the thread, feel free to message me instead! If you didn't participate but would like to have a say in the future of the Awards, you're welcome to share your opinions as well! The more the merrier!
1. Now that we've had a couple of years where the nominations were ranked, do you prefer this new system, or would you rather go back to each nomination being worth only 1 point?
2. We've only ever voted for 1 winner in each category. Are you happy with this, or would you prefer to rank your top 3 choices in each category instead?
3. Which group of categories do you like more:
Group A: Biggest Surprise of the Year, Biggest Disappointment of the Year
Group B: Most Overrated Film of the Year, Most Underrated Film of the Year
4. How would you feel about Best Actor and Best Actress categories that include all performances, regardless as to whether they were main roles or supporting ones?
5. Occasionally an actor will have prominent roles in multiple films that release the same year. Do you prefer nominating them for each role individually, or would you prefer simply to nominate an actor, and have it account for multiple films?
6. Do you think Animation, Documentaries and Foreign films should keep their individual categories, or should there only be a Best Film category that encompasses everything?
7. Is there are genre or type of film (such as shorts, stand-up, or music) that you think should have it's own category? If yes, please share what that is.
8. For films that technically release in one year, but aren't available globally until the following year, the current rule is that they can be nominated for the following year's awards as long as they didn't become a finalist the first year they were eligible. Are you happy with this rule as it is, or do you think it would be fair to allow films to be nominated again anyway, as long as they didn't previously win any category?
9. Currently we are given 3 months to decide on our nominations, then an additional month to vote for the winners. Are you content with this set-up, or would you prefer there to be more time after the finalists are revealed?
10. Since awards season is typically at the start of the year, we've always began the MoFo Film Awards around that time as well. Do you think this is a tradition we should continue, or would you be happy to start later, when more of the festival films and December releases are available globally?
11. If the MoFo Film Awards were to take place later in the year, would you be happy with a shorter nomination period?
12. Do you have a suggestion that is not covered by any of the above questions? If so, please share it!
