Nominations Day Announcement
Hello r/Oscarrace !
Oscar nominations will be announced tomorrow morning at 8:30 EST/5:30 PT. Since this is the biggest event of the year and therefore the busiest day for our sub, I would like to go over with you all how we will be handling the chaotic day.
An hour before the announcement begins we will be starting our annual live reaction thread. Please join us and follow along as we watch the live announcement! Watching the sub collectively explode over the nominees is always one of the highlights of the year.
Once this thread is live we will be changing our feed so that all posts must be moderator approved before they are visible on the sub. This is being done to combat spam, repeat posts, and to hopefully keep the same conversations confined to their appropriate place.
Once every category has been announced the mod team will share the nominees to the main feed. It may take a few minutes to get every category up so please be patient with us.
The posts will be:
Best Picture
Best Director
Best Actress
Best Actor
Best Supporting Actress
Best Supporting Actor
Best Original Screenplay
Best Adapted Screenplay
International Film + Documentary Film
Animated Film + Cinematography
Sound + Editing
Production Design + Costume Design
Makeup/Hairstyling + Visual Effects
Original Score + Original Song
International Short + Documentary Short + Animated Short
Only after all of these have been uploaded will we start approving posts. We will only be approving high effort/important contributions that will generate conversation. Please do not brigade the feed with low effort spam, stanning, polls, or topics that have already been posted. None of this will be approved
We also ask that you wait until this Sunday the 26th before you start posting your win predictions.
As the Oscar nominations are always a day of shocks it is inevitable that many contenders you want to see nominated will be snubbed. This is the way it goes. While I understand that this can be devastating for some of you, please do not afflict your anger or frustrations onto other users. Do not be rude or combative with anyone. If you see any comments breaking sub rules please report them and don’t engage with these users any further. If you are repetitively arguing with others you will be at risk of a ban.
Two smaller announcements:
Now that we will have nominees u/CrunchyNar will be making weekly polls to gauge the sub consensus on each race. We will not be allowing any polls asking about these races between these. Any polls posted will be immediately deleted. More information on this to be announced soon.
And if you did not see it, I am making an Oscarrace leaderboard. To be added please comment your award expert username, link me to your predictions posted on this sub, or send me a link to your goldderby predictions. We currently have 50+ users who’ve agreed to be part of the competition! With the amount of activity on this sub Im sure we could more than double that! Please sign up for it!
Good luck, predictors! I look forward to spending tomorrow with you all
