Nominations for Best Picture 2010 are now EXTENDED!

Welcome to the Academy of Awesome!  This round, we will be crowning a new winner for Best Picture 2010.  2010's real winner was The King's Speech.  Will it win again?

Was TheKing's Speech really winner-worthy?  Should another film have captured top spot?  Now is your chance to have your say!  Simply nominate a movie/film in the comments of this post, following these simple rules:

  • It must have been released in 2010.
  • It must have had a public release (no Cannes-only films).
  • Repeat nominations ARE allowed, whether they have won in the past, or not.
  • Submissions are due by Wednesday THURSDAY 11:59 p.m. EST.

Once the nominees have been gathered, the Academy will find time (hey, we have day jobs) over the following week to watch the films, with the deadline being the following Wednesday.  After that, deliberations will be held, and a winner will be announced by that Sunday (or a.s.a.p. after that).  On the same day, nominations will be opened for 2009!

EDIT:
Due to a short list, we're leaving the nominations open another day.  There also seem to always been some last-minute SURPRISE nominations DURING deliberations.  Stay tuned!

Academy of Awesome: At Sea Edition!

Some of the Academy of Awesome recently convened at sea!  This was not for nominations or voting, but instead to decide on some matters of business which were left hanging.  These details regarding teh operation of the AoA are detailed below.
