The First Annual Ollies

[Killian]

:nuke:The First Annual Ollies :nuke:

As part of the celebrations in regard to the first birthday of TMU, we are looking to see which movies the "viewing public" loved over the last twelve months, in our 1st Annual Ollies!

The process is simple; we are looking for everyone (for indeed YOU, as the viewing public, will be the "members of the Academy" in these awards) to place their votes for the award categories below; everyone gets a vote and the winners will be chosen based on the total number of votes tallied for each category. This way, the community speaks, and the winners will be those voted for BY the community as a whole.


PLEASE READ THE SUBMISSION PROCEDURE AND CATEGORY INFORMATION THOROUGHLY BEFORE STARTING YOUR SUBMISSION!


Procedure
1) Complete the online form (link in the post below) or (if you can't get it to work), copy and paste the list into a PM and send in your nominations that way.

2) List your vote for each category against the category name.

3) Submit the form or PM me the list. The votes will be tallied after the deadline, and the nominees and winners will be listed at a later date.

Any questions please feel free to ask Mr Tom Foster, who will be happy to field any queries you have (provided they’re not the ones about where babies come from, how many beans make five, or two trains start from New York and Chicago…).

Please note that both Tom and I have exempted ourselves from nomination for any of these awards to ensure fair play, so DON'T vote for either of us.

Rules
1) One vote per registered TMU member (you must include your screen-name at the top of your voting form).

2) You must complete as many categories on the list as you can (i.e. no voting for “Best Picture” and leaving the rest blank, for example; if you honestly can't think of a movie/director/writer, etc, that fits a category, then fill in "-----" and move on, but PLEASE try to complete as many as you can. I'm sure everyone here can complete at least 90-95% of the form without breaking much of a sweat). Nominations that only contain entries for best actor, director and movie, though (as an example), will be unlisted in the final tally.

3) To qualify for nomination, the listed movie(s) must have been released on TMU between 22 July 2008 and 22 July 2009 (either via direct upload or embedding from another hosting site).

Movies hosted/uploaded to other sites, which have NOT been embedded on the movie site, do not qualify (i.e. forum posts pointing to movies hosted off-site, for example). As clarified on R&K tonight, these films CAN be films that were previously released on TMO, PROVIDED they were on the site/embedded between those two dates.

As the Movie site lists movies by days since it was uploaded, the cut off point is: any member who joined the movie site or a movie uploaded 20 days ago OR MORE (correct as of Tuesday 11 August 2009).

The last acceptable movie that could be voted on this year would therefore be Sanction27’s Mod Showcase movie for July 09; anything later than this would be acceptable for the 2010 Awards, but not this year’s.

3) All completed lists must be back by 31 August 2009.

4) You CANNOT nominate yourself or your own movies for categories; you can only nominate ANOTHER community member; self nominations will be disqualified.

5) No canvassing for votes will be allowed; anyone caught doing so will be DISQUALIFIED from nomination.

6) Please follow the format as suggested after each category (i.e. BEST PICTURE (list FILM-DIRECTOR); it makes it easier for us to count up the nominations.

The votes cast will be tallied, and the top three in each category will go forward to the final stage. A list of the top three will be posted.

At that point, a second round of voting will be taken for the nominees; the movie or individual in each category with the highest number of votes cast will be judged the winner.

PRIZES
All winners will be awarded a forum badge denoting their win.
The coveted OLLIE AWARD prop (only available to Ollie Winners), available in Movies, Moviestorm and iClone format (courtesy of the multi-talented Mr MikeDeBoing!)

And remember: these are YOUR awards; vote for the films, directors, writers, etc, who YOU think best encapsulate the spirit of the community.

Looking forward to seeing how the voting turns out!

Now, enough blather; get your thinking caps on and let’s have those votes in!

[Fospherous]

Yes Folks, if any of you guys have any questions on The Ollies, please do post in this thread your question or contact me via PM, Email or skype, and I will try my best to answer them for you, well...I will, because I am the all knowing PR Guy! :p

Skype: tfoster_tmo
PM: Click on my Account to your left and send me a PM

Film on guys! :)

[Jake]

Question- How do the movies get chosen into each category?

[Fospherous]

Look down below Jake on Killian's post, it explains. :)

So when you send the PM to Killian with the nominations you simply put down, e.g:

Best Horror - (Insert movie title & director)

Best Sound Editing - (Insert movie title & director)

Best Comedy - (Insert movie title & director)

and so on and so forth for each category

[TehPoptartKid]

What a great idea, guys! ^^

I'll definitely participate in this event.

TPK

[Roger]

The first nominations are now in! :)

[Killian]

Thank you, Roger... one down, a coupla hundred more to come... :)


Just a reminder; please make sure you read all the rules and the categories thoroughly before sending in your nominations so no confusion arises in your decisions (and it saves me having to send the forms back for amendments!)

Thanks to all who have sent their votes in so far... but there is still plenty of time to get them in... and plenty of people to SEND them in! Keep 'em coming :)

[TINMAN]

Consider calling the MASHED-UP catagory the ANYMATION catagory. (winky)

[Dulci]

Looking through the movies over the past year has been a fun stroll down memory lane :)

[TINMAN]

Since I suggested the Olllies, I thought I should do a little searching and I found this little trinket. If ya think it can serve as the Ollie, then great. Imagine this coveted golden baby in your hands! Woot!

Can a modder out there mod THE OLLIE as a holdable item for THE MOVIES format? It would be neat to actually hand it on stage as you give your acceptance speech!

In the meanwhile......
All members of TMUnderground should be casting their ballots!

Here is the Ollie that I've submitted.

I think thats a wonderful poster K4, and I like that idea alot about the winner getting there very own OLLIE award prop which can be formatted into use for iClone, The Movies, MS, etc etc and then sent to them via skype when it has been announced they have won.

I'll get in contact with a certain modder to see if he can do that. Thanks a lot for all these wonderful ideas.

But for now, get those nominations rolling in! :)

[Fospherous]

Major Update!

Ok then, Killian has just made nominating a lot easier with this:


(CLICK HERE!) (http://spreadsheets.google.com/viewform?formkey=dGNmWVJqcXdYR2dZVHpDWHVqWkZLUWc6M A)

It's a custom made spreadsheet by Killian which you can use to cast your nominations. It will make both my life and Killian's a lot easier and should be easier for all of you out there! :)

Simply click on the link and type in your TMU Username where stated, then fill in your nominations for each and every category and submit! :)

Thanks and get nominating! :walkman:

[thebiz]

Not here to make waves but what is the reasoning behind rule #2 (you must fill in all categories)?

If nothing sticks out to me, I am not going to go hunting for something to nominate and I don't want to nominate something simply because it fits in your category and I happen to have seen it. Theres also an issue of having to fill out categories that have nothing to do with movies (K&R show). Does this mean I should not get to vote on the movies because I don't often listen to the show (don't tell Ken please...)?

I bring this up after filling out the form with my share of "No Selections" and then reading the manual. Er...

[Killian]

Good question and one that deserves an answer.

The purpose behind the "all categories" is to ensure that someone doesn't just pick and choose what they want to fill in (ie best picture, best actor, etc) and leave out those categories which also deserve to be recognised (best non-english film, best music, best poster, etc) but don't get checked ordinarily (which are all equally valid categories to be looked at).

The whole point of the exercise is to prod people into looking at things they might not necessarily check out normally, and to wave a flag for the people, movies and indeed skills in MAKING those movies that get overlooked in the usual hype, not to act as "just another movie award ceremony".

There are a lot of achievements in the fields of "technical know-how" that should be recognised as much as overall film, acting or writing, which don't get the recognition they deserve (where would some of the "big movies" be without custom mods, music, special effects work, etc, etc). Equally, the very existence of these forums we use daily indicates that the collective of film-makers (community, gaggle, call it what you will) deserves to be recognised in some way or other, otherwise what's the point?

And, equally, just because someone doesn't have access to VOs for their movie, or speaks a language that isn't English, or spends time and effort creating PR for their movie, or any of the other categories that are in the list, doesn't mean they should be swept under the carpet or ignored in favour of the "usual suspects" like best picture, etc.

Ultimately, though, if people don't want to participate in the nominations, that's their perogative; no-one is being forced into voting for movies or directors or technical awards if they don't want to.

In the instance of "Best Guest", for example; yes, there are people who don't listen to R&K, VOTC, W&D Hour, etc, etc; that's fine and we understand that. But I think it'd be a very sad day indeed if people AREN'T either looking at these other categories or at least remembering films they've seen which fit into them.

[Fospherous]

Indeed, but please do try your best to fill in as many as you can. If you feel you can't fill in one because you can't think of someone to nominate and you don't think anyone has lived upto that certain category, just move on :)

[Kit06]

From what I can see, there is a mod for best prop; but why only have that award for our hard working modders?

I think more catigories for modders are nessisary; without them, the community wouldn't be what it is now.

I see best set, best costume, and best prop.

[Fospherous]

Thanks for that Dulci ;)

Question answered Kit, just required more patience and looking :p

[Killian]

Please note neither categories nor rules are subject to negotiation. The categories for this year are set now; they will not be changed. That said, new categories are being thought of for next years, so suggestions made will be considered for next time.

Also, yes there are categories for best set, prop and costume/makeup; bear in mind that with multiple engines now available, the site and forums aren't Movies-centric (but, of course, you can nominate whatever you want) and "modding" is a lot easier for iClone and MS than the Movies ever was.

[Fospherous]

Indeed, we always want your thoughts to help improve the ceremony for coming years :)

Now get nominating people right

(HERE!) (http://spreadsheets.google.com/viewform?formkey=dGNmWVJqcXdYR2dZVHpDWHVqWkZLUWc6M A)

[animatechnica]

so quick Q (and sorry for not catching it if it was mentioned earlier) - where does the word 'ollies' come from? could it have been "Teemuus" or "Kennies"?

[Fospherous]

Nice question.

Well back in the TMO days on The Movies Online, there was a user called OlliEntertainment who reviewed over 11,000 films on TMO. So hence we have named it after him.
And it's proved to be quite a catchy and popular name for the awards among the community. :)

[Jake]

sent nominations...

I miss ollie... :(

[stvndysn]

nominations sent

[Fospherous]

Just a quick note if you're using the special nomination spreadsheet Killian has designed at this link: http://spreadsheets.google.com/viewform?formkey=dGNmWVJqcXdYR2dZVHpDWHVqWkZLUWc6M A Here is something important you must know.

When you come to a category which you can't think of anyone to nominate in, simply fill the space with ----- or (Blank) Because the system won't accept you leaving blank spaces in any of the boxes

Thanks!

Fresh back from Australia, my brain is a bit foggy ("So what's new?", I hear you ask), but I thought it would be nice to have Ollie's famous words included in that somewhere..."Film On"!

That's it, I'm going back to bed.

[Yarmond]

Sweet this sounds very exciting. Looking forward to see who gets nominated.

[Killian]

Just a gentle reminder to people :-


You CANNOT nominate yourself or your own movies for any categories (any submitted so far have been changed to Blanks and therefore will not count for nominations);
Check that the film or person you are nominating actually QUALIFIES before submitting your nominations (had a couple come in for members or films that fall outside the "window of opportunity" listed above...). Instances of this happening have been changed to blanks on the submission and do not count for the final tally.
PLEASE complete as many categories as you can (any nomination forms with less than 50% of the form completed, either due to the above offence or just nothing in the list, will result in that form being ignored during the tallying); the categories are there for a reason, folks... please consider them.
PLEASE check you understand the category and nominate correctly (if in doubt, ask either myself or Tom) and
PLEASE follow the format for submissions (it's not easy trying to figure out what film is being talked about when you give a director's name for Best Picture for example, or a film soundtrack for Best Composer with no name attached to it! PLEASE try and leave me some hair for when this is over, will yah?? ;))

[Jake]

I have a something to say- I think the spreadsheet is easier but, what if someone pretends to be someone else?

[Fospherous]

Well they must be an utter c*** then.

Killian will be able to find out if people are pretending because he can see their IP Address and see if they are doing it multiple times. And if any moron was to do this, and we catch them, we will disqualify their votes and I don't think they should ever show their face here again. I hope thats got the message across in a serious and straight to the point manner :)

[Killian]

To be quite honest, if someone is sad enough to want to fix nominations in this way, then they ought to have a good, long look at themselves.

But, personally, I can't imagine anyone here wanting to do such a thing, anyway.

But, Big Brother is watching, in any case....

:online2long::gunsmilie:

[Uber]

If anyone were to fix the outcome... why it would be like the real oscars.

[Daninsky]

Well they must be an utter c*** then.
Or an utter
a***
b***
d***
e***
f***
g***

I'm sure there are other letters around we could call them, too. :sweatdrop:

[Fospherous]

Ok, here's some updates.

Mr. MikeDBoing is going to be starting work on a special mod which is The Ollies Official Award Trophy which every winner in their category will be sent via skype when they come on air to do their acceptance speech!

The look of it is here - http://www.tmoaradio.com/vb/showpost.php?p=41278&postcount=10

It can be seen in the poster which K4 made.
Me and Killian have agreed and we believe that this fits to be the official Ollie trophy, and I tell you, it's one hot gold babie!

Mike will be making the mod available in The Movies, Moviestorm and iClone format, so no one will miss out!

Official screenshots of these golden babies will be posted soon when the mod is finally created by Mikey! :)


In other news!
As you may know, Me and Ethan run a podcast every week talking about movies, both in the real world and on TMU and in support of The Ollies, over the next few weeks we will be releasing special episodes created for The Ollies as we give you all the gossip on who may be nominated for what and everything you can imagine including who will be turning up at the ceremony, dresses, guests, music and more...Tis going to be so glamourous I'm sure Heddy Hooper herself would want to get in on the act!...It's all official in the run up to the awards!

It will be the ultimate guide to The Ollies with Documentarian Ethanial Runt and Film Critic Thomas Von Foster.

So stay tuned for that and more, soon!

[animatechnica]

quick Q - is there a way to edit submission? i think i may have violated one of the rules i.e. nominating my own work - primarily due to unfamiliarity with some of the work in specific categories and process did not let me submit without filling out those other categories

- is there a way to just submit some areas. I'm afraid people like myself may not know all of the categories (i.e aware of only 1 or 2 films) - for example not all of us know which films have live action of TMU members, not all of us know which movies used external special effect programs

[Killian]

Submissions wise, PM me and I will check off the previous submission for you, allowing a second one to be made (as I have access to the database which stores the submission information).

If you genuinely can't think of a movie which fulfils a specific category (and there might be one of two), just enter "-----" or similar into the box when you reach it on the form.

Realistically speaking, it's not likely that everyone will have even watched a movie in every category, but I expect that all forms should have entries for at least 50% of the categories (purely because, by extension of people being forum members, that most folk will be aware of movies in general).

Any live action movie on the site, by extension, should be one that has been made by and/or starring a community member, as others aren't allowed. There isn't a specific category for them on the movie site (purely because there weren't any when the site was begun), so you might have to dig a bit; doesn't mean that they don't deserve a mention, of course (which is why we have an award category for them!)

And, don't forget, there are 2 and a bit weeks to go before submissions need to be in, so there's plenty of time to poke around the site and watch some movies (which is one of the reasons we ran the contest in the first place!)

[EthanRunt]

So my 'documentary' could be allowed?

(Not that it's worth bothering to look at...)

[Killian]

It's a live action movie written by and/or starring a community member, so I'd say it qualifies :)

[db4321]

Just a quick (and probably stupid) question, but is there any way to save the spreadsheet (voting form) and return to it later or does it have to be completed in one session.

I ask because I'm not familiar with Google docs or how it works. Thanks in advance.

[Killian]

Unfortunately, not as far as I'm aware, I'm afraid (Google Docs isn't the most comprehensive online package; I had a look, but the "Help" functionality is anything but...)

[db4321]

Do as I am doing, bookmark the page, print a copy for your own use (I fill in the blanks on paper so when I am ready to fill out the official form, I have it all written out), research each catagory, write the info on the copy, then fill out the form online using what you have written on your paper. :tongue_smilie:

Harb.... great suggestion!!!!! 1000 Kudos for you!!!!
Thanks!

Them nominations keep rolling in, are yours?...well go on and get em done! :balloon:

[sgporsche48]

Hmmm...I'm a bit behind on my TMU watching, but I shall have to think of some nominations!

[Orky]

This is a dumb question, but if we already sent nominations in a PM do we still have to do the google spreadsheet?

- Orky

[Fospherous]

No, because Killian has probably tallied them up already, no need Ork ;)

[Killian]

I can confirm those who sent in their nominations via PM have had their votes transferred to the database, so no need to worry.

[Killian]

18 days to complete Round One nominations, folks...

Wow this is a great idea, nice job by all who have set this up. I will be sure to send my noms soon!

[TehPoptartKid]

Ack! It's so hard to choose!

I love that Ollies award trophy. It looks mighty shiny. :devil2:

TPK

[macwemyss]

Made my nominations. Man, that was difficult...

[Killian]

*** IMPORTANT REMINDER ***


I need to remind people again; in order to qualify for nomination for THIS YEAR'S Ollies, the movies MUST have been upped or embedded on the movie site between 22 July 2008 and 22 July 2009; anything uploaded AFTER 22 July this year does NOT qualify for nomination for this year's list.

Looking at the movie site, anything upped MORE THAN 23 DAYS AGO counts (as of today, 15 August 2009); anything upped 22 days ago or less does NOT count for the 2009 Awards (but WILL count for the 2010 awards, so bear those nominations in mind).

PLEASE check carefully when nominating; I have had to make several category nominations ineligible due to this very reason.

And, as a reminder, the link to the voting form is HERE (http://spreadsheets.google.com/viewform?hl=en_GB&formkey=dGNmWVJqcXdYR2dZVHpDWHVqWkZLUWc6MA..).

Looks really nice - kudo's to Mike.

[Fospherous]

Mike will be putting extra effort in to make multiple copies which state the category so each winner will recieve the trophy with their winning category on the plaque.

Thanks to Mike for wanting to do that to make the trophies more personalised and special :)

[Harb40]

My voting is done and submitted. Good luck to all the writers, directors, producers, modders and everyone else who gets nominated.

[Killian]

Great work, Mike! :)

[Dulci]

Awesome trophies!

[macwemyss]

Ooohh, shiny... :thumbup:

[db4321]

The trophies look so good you could almost pick them up. Great work.

[Harb40]

Too bad I won't get one this year. Great job Mike.

[Burkey1993]

Really great job there Mike :)

[Fospherous]

Reminder

Just a quick reminder that you have 14 days left to get your round one nominations in.

Thanks :)

[TINMAN]

Applause MiKe!!!!! Nice, nice, nice!

[Fospherous]

Mike should be getting them converted to MS and iClone formats soon

[wackyal3000]

They look excellent. As the great man himself once (well not once) said 'Film on'

[Fospherous]

Another 11 Days until those round one nominations HAVE to be in, so get them done and submitted as soon as you can.

[TheFlyingDuDe]

Just got my nomitaions in, Killians things really helped. Only thinking of all the movies that I liked the best was really hard! The results are gonna be interesting! =)

[MikeDBoing]

Before you all get huffy and puffy about the size of this image..and i do mean you Uber :) , i would like to thank all of you who have been supportive of this endeavour .
Also i have made it this big because i wanted to show that , indeed, all the statues are individualy textured to show the category being honnored by the recipient..and to show off too, sue me!



and now, ...




without any further ado:
http://i262.photobucket.com/albums/ii95/MikeDBoing/Groupshot04.jpg

As of now they are all in the The Movies format as static props but i have made them available as bottle replacements for the bar scenes. Simple instructions will be available in the archives to make them available in more prop categories. And should the need for any modifications arrise...you know who to call.

Also, the iClone versions are on the way as OBJ files. They look almost as awsome as the blender versions....never thaught i'd say that..but i digress.

The MS versions have gotten into a snag. The mapping coordinates get all mushed up on export, someting i think my exporter does because it might be using a format from an early version of Sketchup (the only format, so far, that can be imported in MS) BTW if any MS modding guru could get in touch with me, i would be very gratefull.
Enjoy

[Killian]

Exceptional work, Mike :)

Enjoy

And a year ago I would have drawn a complete blank about something being available in an OBJ file, whereas now I can grin & cheer and say thanks!

[MikeDBoing]

[thebiz]

Damn the torpedoes, on with the nomination list! Will there be movies unseen? Will there be blood? Will there be controversy and kvetching? I'm atwitter with anticipation.

[Nukester]

Wow, this is a great way of honouring the creative community! choices were tough but well worth while!

[Killian]

Indeed; what better way to show your appreciation of your fellow film makers/writers/directors/VO artists/modders/composers, etc, than to nominate them for an award?

And, you have 2 hours and 40 minutes left in which to do so!!

[sisch]

I got my votes in... as late as possible... :001_tongue:

Awesome!

Ill shall get my votes in soon!

[TehPoptartKid]

It was even more difficult than before, but I sent in my nominations. ^^

Woot for the Ollies!

TPK

[TheMGMKid]

I am thrilled to be nominated. I am also so happy that both JudyAnn88 (cotumes and make-up) and Guppie (set mods) got recognition for their invaluable work on "Cleopatra" Part 4. I owe so much to them for the sumptuous look of the film.
Thank you to everyone who voted my films into the nominations circle.

[sgporsche48]

Curses! Foiled again by my lack of releasing a film in...a year! :lol: Also my lack of just kind of not being here and posting solely in Cinematic Ramblings for a few months...yeah...



Well, best of luck to all nominees! I shall probably refrain from voting...as I haven't seen the majority that was nominated...

[Killian]

Don't worry, SG; there are 3 weeks to check 'em out and vote for your choices, worry not! :)

[sgporsche48]

Nah I've got more important stuff to do...like...um...hey, is that Daryl Hannah?

*runs*

[macwemyss]

I'm absolutely thrilled to have had my film nominated for Best Comedy, it's a real honour :blushing:

I guess this is my chance to pimp "Do You Like Josephkw Movies?" so if you haven't seen it yet, there is a link in my signature :wink:

There are some great films on show here so best of luck to all the other nominees! You all did a great job! And thanks to Tom and Killian for organising this fantastic event, it has been very well handled.

Roll on the Awards Ceremony! :clap:

[kuroken]

After losing my hard-thought nomination form the day before the nominations were due (the "dog ate my homework" excuse, according to Killian...what can I say, in this case, the dog actually did eat my homework, and though I cut him open, I didn't find it...), I must say I found this a bit easier - the only films I hadn't seen were two of the subtitled films, which I quickly remedied.

Which is not to say that there weren't categories where I really had to almost flip a coin between two completely worthy nominees. I would have preferred, for example, voting for actor and role instead of just an actor, but I understand where you might have 20 Sisch or 20 Dulci or 20 AND performances in a year, the fact that any one of them might have only one or two votes made it difficult to line up actor and performance - even when Michael Caine was in every other movie, or Nic Cage is in every other movie, they're still only doing 3 a year, which can be quantified. Splitting it up among 10-15-20 would be impossible.

I also want to say that as far as I'm concerned, Killian and Tom deserve honorary Ollie's of their own (since they're not eligible for the voting process) - both have done a tremendous job of organizing and running a very complex process, and it ain't done yet.

Although we can't do anything Ollie-wise for them, I'd like to come up with something to honor their devotion and community spirit - I can let Tom's show continue a few more weeks, but what can I do for Killian....okay, I'll do your lines....

Ken

[Dulci]

Thank you so much for all the work you guys have put into this - it's truly appreciated.

And congratulations to everyone who was nominated!


And a thank you :blush: to everyone who nominated me.

[animatechnica]

sweeet! thanks for the nomination! and congrats to my fellow nominees

[Jase180]

Odd question. Dead Cases was 2007, and I think not qualified for this? yes?

Also, thanks to those that Nominated JCSS (both parts should be seen as one fyi) and Story of Us!

[goofparade]

Well managed fun so far and Kudos to killian and TFoster for running this so smoothly. It's a shame that only 3 can qualify for each category because there are so many great people to choose from.

Also, next time, I suggest that you not disallow voting for any commitee members.ie Tom and Killian.. More than once I felt that you guys deserved a nod for best script or sci-fi or something..
but alas, you disallowed it.
I don't see the conflict for next time.


Grats to the nominees.

[afterThought]

Congrats to the nominees! Thanks Killian and Tom for the great job in organizing this.

[rage]

Wow, I am truly honored to get a couple of nominations for the ollies, I really didn't expect any! There are quite a few of these nomiations which I haven't yet had a chance to look at, but will view comment and vote over the next few days. Congrats and good luck to all nominees!

[sisch]

Yep, Killian and Tom definitely deserve Ollies of their own, and lots of love from us for organising it all! :001_smile:

Congrats to all the nominees - and a quietly overwhelmed very big thank-you to all those who nominated me in so many categories... thank you! :001_smile:

[Killian]

Just a quick one to answer Jase's query (as I'm on my way out the door to work); whilst you uploaded Dead Cases yourself recently, it was on the site earlier (I believe JazzX uploaded it as part of his vault), therefore it qualified.

The thanks shouldn't be for us, but to the filmic collective for producing so many outstanding films, scripts, performances, etc, etc, that virtually cried out to be recognised; for all the help and warm welcoming that I myself received when I popped into existence on TMU, this is my way of giving back to the wonderful folk who gave of their time and hard work to help me to make my loooooong movies, so no thanks needed here :)

[TheMGMKid]

The MGM Award is given rarely. But I think Killian and Tom have earned it with their hard work on the "Ollies". Here you go boys. Do a good show on "Ollies" night and maybe you'll get the MGM Samuel Goldwyn Producers award!

http://img29.imageshack.us/img29/6823/themgmawardrikexcellenc.jpg

[Fospherous]

Thank you all, especially MGM for The MGM Award :p

But as Killian said, all the praise should go to the wonderful filmmakers who make the movies which make events like this possible! :) Thank you all!

Anyway, now the fun begins, so get voting! :)

[act3scene24]

Just wanna say, "wow, thanks everyone." I must admit, I'm pleasantly surprised.

And congrats and good luck to all the other nominees.

Nice to see that most things I originally nominated have shown up on the list, as well. :)

[Fospherous]

I'd like to come up with something to honor their devotion and community spirit - I can let Tom's show continue a few more weeks

What a wonderful human being you are... :tt2:

[Roger]

I have voted! :)

[Uber]

I can let Tom's show continue a few more weeks,

Ken

Are you rewarding him or punishing him?

[sisch]

Are you rewarding him or punishing him?

That should have been written "Are you punishing us or rewarding him?" :001_tongue:

sisch runs...................... sorry, Tom!! :biggrin:

[Fospherous]

Well, someone has to sacrifice themselves for the good of the community :51:

[TINMAN]

I'm very pleased that THE OLLIES is being taken as a FUN thing!

Nobody should take this soooo seriously that they get soooo bent out of shape or soooooo full of themselves. Agreed? It is FOR ENTERTAINMENT PURPOSES ONLY.

What's my guideline? Directly put, I do what I do because I want to do it and not because of some award or recognition, although those are 'fleetingly' nice. Making machinima magic with you is gratifying and reward enough. If anybody enjoys what I do, then great! That is icing on the cake as far as I'm concerned. The great friendships we have is more than what any Ollie could ever represent. I thnk we could all agree with that!

So then..... what is the Ollie?

Simply.....

The Ollies is a great, novelty feature to create some Glam 'n' Glitter, some excitement... it provides a fun way of promoting outstanding films, notable machinima talent, and the overall machinima community of TMUnderground.

Understand that everybody is important, appreciated, and valued for the 'beneficial' contributions they make to the TMU machinima community. In that regard, everybody is an Ollie winner!

And so... let's have some FUN with this! Let's laugh, chuckle, snicker, cheer, or giggle..... applaude and have a good time.

Thank you Killian and TF for taking this 'old man's' suggestion and making it happen! You rock!

[Nukester]

I couldn't agree more Mr.Daddy!

The mere fact that we can all come together and enjoy the fruits of our labour is what makes this community worthwhile.

Congratulations to all who were nominated and a big thanks to all who have included some of my productions in this fun event.

Special thanks to the organisers who I must say deserve something for this!:yes:

[Harb40]

I'm very pleased that THE OLLIES is being taken as a FUN thing!

Speak for yourself!!! I should have gotten at least three nominations!!!!

Just kidding. Congrats to all the nominees. They are all well deserved. Although I wish I had gotten at least 1 nod though but since there are over 700 members and well over 2000 films in the past year, someone had to be left out.

This gives us all something to shoot for next year. Congrats again Nominees.

Definitely K4, This is all for fun which we want the whole community to enjoy. We don't want this event being turned into a popularity contest either, we want you to go out onto TMUnderground and watch the nominees and make fair decisions based on the movies' qualities, so the best can win!

Anyway good luck and get voting. And as this all takes place, all the preparations will be underway for the big evening where all of Moviewood's hottest stars help each other make this evening, truly one to remember! :)

[TINMAN]

LOL! :clown:

It would be kinda neat to see all of those names that were mentioned in the voting phrase.... and I am sure there are many (including yours)! :35: ... and yours... and yours... and even yours... and yours... and, yes, your's too.... and yours...etc Congrats to all!

But now... we move on to the Nominee Phase! Yay! Congrats to the Nominees! Who will the voters select from the array of movies and talent? There are some interesting and difficult choices to be made by YOU!!! I think Heddy Hooper will have her hands full down on the Red Carpet on Ollie Night as all of the stars enter the theater! :tt1:

[Killian]

The votes flood in, and the competition is hotting up! It could go any one of three ways in ANY category at the moment, so make sure you get those votes in!

As an aside, in preparation for next year (yes, I think that far ahead!), our own Master Yodel himself posted a handy checklist for your film credits/TMU Movie site descriptions to ease the process of finding the nomination info for next year's awards (which will extend from 22 July 2009 to 21 July 2010), which can be found HERE (http://www.tmoaradio.com/vb/showthread.php?t=2842); something to bear in mind if you want to make your movie as easy to nominate as possible next year :)

In other news, we have had some new prizes offered by generous community members which will be revealed at a later point! More news on that as the time nears for the final reveals :)

Great Idea TinMan. I bookmarked it for easy access.

[Burkey1993]

Well what a great list of nominations. They're all worthy winners, and now I've got to make the hard decision of picking one from each category. Wish me look :p

I'd like to say a big thank you to Killian and Tom though, they've done a great job setting this up. And all the hard works put together the best Awards Ceremony I think this community's seen.

Congrats to all nominees :)

P.S. I am pleasantly surprised by my nomination for Best Poster. I've seen far better this year. But thanks for all voters nonetheless :)

[BenTuttle90]

Congratulations to all the nominees. :balloon: A big thank you to anyone who nominated Phantom for best western and another big thank you to Tom and Killian for arranging this.

Good luck to all the nominees. Shall be fun seeing the final results.

Thats great news, I know K4 knows everything about this kind of stuff and having him on as the master of the evening will definately add to the festivities! :)

[Jake]

[rage]

i too have cast my vote - some very tough calls in there, looking forward to the results! good luck to all

[riott007]

I voted for all my friends...except for Norrie...who in the hell nominated him?

[BudBundysMullet]

I voted for all my friends

Didn't everyone?

[CitadelFilms]

I voted!

[6hm]

will Kanye West be attending?

[TehPoptartKid]

I'd imagine he's too busy apologizing to Taylor Swift. XD

[db4321]

I've just submitted my votes. What a difficult choice it was with some outstanding nominations, all of which are worthy of an award.

As an aside, can I just congratulate Killian and Tom on what I think is the best organised awards I've come across. Everything is so well thought out and easy to follow.

You both deserve an award, even if it's just saying "thankyou". So "thankyou".

[Killian]

No need to thank us; it's all payback for the hard work, dedication and downright fun the members of TMU have provided for us all this past year :)

9 days to go and the voting is VERY close at this point in some of the categories (indicative of the extremely high calibre of productions that the FC ("filmic collective") nominated this year.

The Badge Winner will be decided shortly too (decisions delayed due to my galloping lurgy this week and complete lack of ability to do anything other than sniffle, gurgle and dribble).

[Fospherous]

Keep those votes coming in! :gunsmilie:

[sisch]

My votes are in now. :)

[Killian]

It's REALLY close in some categories, so make sure you get your votes (http://spreadsheets.google.com/viewform?hl=en_GB&formkey=dGZmVm1KYU9reE1RYWdZZ3lRQnh1YkE6MA..) in in the next 5 days for the First Annual Ollies!

[TINMAN]

VOTING has never been made easier! Verrrry nice!
Some tough choices.

I want to encourage you to VOTE now!

K4

[Dulci]

Just a few days left!

[MikeDBoing]

Man! some of those choices where tough. So many excelent movies....Done.

[macwemyss]

Dammit! I'm not going to have internet access when the winners are announced... Ah well, I'll catch the results on this thread later. Good luck to everyone :)

[Killian]

Ahhh but the winners aren't getting announced until the Awards Show... coming soon to a Roger & Ken Show near you! :)

[Killian]

You have until MIDNIGHT UK TIME tonight to get your votes in if you haven't already!

[Uber]

which UK time zone? I see different UK people on skype with different times against their names.

[Killian]

Midnight in the UK is midnight in the UK; its nearly 3.00pm now, so that's 9 hours til voting ends.

Thank Killian, clears it up nicely.

Lol, that's awesome :laugh:

Phew, well that's a relief.. I doubt I'll miss it now.

[Daninsky]

Thank Killian, clears it up nicely.

http://img523.imageshack.us/img523/6281/isee.jpg

Looks like one of them has the wrong Timezone chosen, like Berlin Time. :yes:

[macwemyss]

Nah, there's a different time zone in Wubble. It's the one place in Britain that doesn't use GMT and Killian is the one person who lives there :)

[Killian]

I'll have you know that Wubble uses standard GMT, just like everywhere else in the UK!

http://uk.geocities.com/laura.thibeault@btinternet.com/skype_time.JPG
...see?

Anyway, get them votes in before the closing of the polls!

Go HERE (http://spreadsheets.google.com/viewform?hl=en_GB&formkey=dGZmVm1KYU9reE1RYWdZZ3lRQnh1YkE6MA..) and vote, vote, vote!

[Killian]

Voting has now CLOSED. Stay tuned for details of the Awards Show, coming soon.

Does this mean I will have to sober up and put on one of those penguin suits again?

Hiccup!

The last thing we want is you being drunk at the ceremony. God knows what will happen then! :p

But yes; voting has now finished. And with this opportunity Me and Killian would like to thank each and every one of you who took their time to vote. This is a big event for our community and with having many of these votes in, we know how dedicated you all are to this community.

Thank you, and good luck to our final nominees in each and every category

[Uber]

actually, turning up would be best, anything else is a bonus.

[filipekholmstudios]

This is a big event indeed. And I'm really looking forward to it.:)

Tune in next sunday (11th October 2009) for The First Annual Ollies Ceremony which will be live on TMOA Radio in the time-slot of the Ken and Roger Show! :)

[TINMAN]

M..m...mmm...mmeee....me?
omg!

Tune in and listen to me swallow my tongue!

[Killian]

...staple it to your lip, you old git! :001_tt2:

Awesome! It's gonna be a good day for me then, with my premiere straight after lol :laugh:

[TINMAN]

Everybody... please send me an audio clip from your movie(s).

Send to:

thek4network@hotmail.com


Everybody is encouraged to snatch an audio clip and send it in! Thanks so much!

You'll get to hear them all during THE OLLIES!

K4

K4 just to clarify 'cause I'm not sure. This is directed only at the nominees or anyone who has a film on TMU? Thanks.

[TINMAN]

No..... It means "Everybody!"..... to everyone with a movie on TMU! LOL All of our movies help to make TMU what it is! And I thought this was a great way to at least highlight them.

An audio clip of dialog taken from the movie itself is perfect!

I've grabbed as many audio clips as I could, tweaking here and there.... and a small number of others graciously sent in clips... all of which I am trying to sew together.

Since I didn't get as many as I had hoped, this means longer AIR time for those audio clips that were sent in.

Should you still send in an audio clip from YOUR movie? Yes, most defintiely! I may still be able to use it... or at least save it for another gala event!

Send to: thek4network@hotmail.com

Thanks for your question!

K4

[Uber]

finally, its nearly over.

[stvndysn]

oh no gotta get my tux cleaned in time for this or i will look a scruff

[Jake]

Expect me at the ceremony!

[Dulci]

Looking forward to this Sunday!

[db4321]

Looking forward to this Sunday!

And me but I think I'm going to miss the awards, so good luck to everyone who is up for a nomination.

[macwemyss]

Looking forward to this Sunday!

As am I! Here's hoping we'll see a big turnout for Sunday :)

[Fospherous]

Should be fantastic guys!...So get your Tux and dresses ready because it's gonna be great fun! :)

[Fospherous]

Ok, We need some Guest Announcers for some of the awards, because I'm running out of options for the remaining awards. This is a shout-out to people who are already doing one or haven't got one. if you are doing one, yes you may do another. If you are not doing one, please PM me and I will consider giving you an award to present. I won't give any random person one 'Willy--nilly' though.

[BiggsTrek]

Has any tried to contact Ollie himself? That would be cool...

[Killian]

He's unfortunately left the community, by all accounts; he used to frequent the boards over at The Movies Germany, but he's no longer active and hasn't been for some time now :(

[sgporsche48]

I would say its up to you, Killian and Tom...to go personally to Germany and find Ollie. Chop chop!

[EthanRunt]

I have to side with SG and express my appalled nature that you have yet to stalk him and his family for decades just for this moment.

[Killian]

All enquiries undertaken in this direction (and there have been a few) have drawn a blank, I'm afraid...

[Harb40]

If needed, I will take on another.

[CitadelFilms]

Damn. I just realized I have something at 2. I hate my life.

[Fospherous]

THE WAIT IS FINALLY OVER...

THE OLLIES COMMENCES TODAY

2pm-7pm EST; 7pm-12am UK on TMOA RADIO during THE KEN AND ROGER SHOW!

[sisch]

Wheeee!!! :biggrin:

[TINMAN]

I just love it when you say Wheeeeeeee!

All winners please contact me for the format you would like your award to be sent in (TM, MS or iC).

Thanks to all who contributed in any way, shape or form to this year's awards (especially our MC, Mr K4 himself, who soldiered on like a proper trooper with his grevious injury; what a star!) Congratulations to the winners... and well done to everyone who has contributed to movies shown on TMU this past year.

See you next year!

[EthanRunt]

An absolutely fantastic 3 and a half hours, and a corker opening red carpet show, Brilliant work guys, brilliant.

[act3scene24]

So that was fun. And I HONESTLY cannot wait until next year's awards ceremony.

[DL Watson]

Thanks for the great show!

Thanks everyone who voted for The Grey People. It was a honor.

Thanks.

[filipekholmstudios]

Fantistic show! I really enjoyed it! :) Can't wait for next year!

[Jake]

Wonderful!!!! Really fun

[Killian]

I've set up a 2009 Ollies Awards Channel (http://www.tmunderground.com/channels/ollies2009)to gather all the winners together in one place for posterity.

If you missed any of them the first time round (or just fancy watching them again... and why not? (as Barry Norman might say...)), this is the place to go catch em :)

[TehPoptartKid]

It was rigged! I demand a recount!

XD

Well deserved! Bravo to all the winners!

TPK

[kuroken]

Congrats to all the nominees, awardees, and filmmakers/actors/musicians/sfx wizards of the TMU Community - this ceremony honored all of your work, and it's a pleasure to be among all you creative folk....

Ken

[Armanus]

Congratulations to all the winners! I couldn't make it due to family shenanigans, and it sounds like I missed a really good time lol
(but there's always the archive broadcast ;) )

Congrats again, and special kudos to all whose efforts made this possible, not just the nominees and winners, but the fine folks who put this whole thing together. Bravo! :)

[Lizard]

The show was a well put together production. Proper credit should be given to the creators as it was obvious a lot of work to put together. I also want to recognize MGM and Norrie who did a real bang up job of the pre-awards show. It had great entertainment value and did well in giving the show hype.

.... and thanks to all who watched/viewed/reviewed "Coming Home". Being selected among the community is indeed an honor.

[FallenThomas]

I need to watch Saving Grace as soon as possible I suppose... :stuart:

[goofparade]

I was lucky enough to catch bits here and there,it's Canadian Thanksgiving up here, a busy day. I thought that Norrie and MGM did a great job on the pre-show. You sold it!

From the bits that I heard, K4 was ever the entertaining and silver tongued pro, moving the ship along with ease and style. Now I've come to understand that it was under very difficult physical circumstances too, Tinman you have the heart of a lion.:clap:

Killian an TFoster cooked up a suberbly organised effort that brought out the best in our ""Filmic Collective". By the best I mean that we all had a part in there somewhere, somehow;these awards celebrate all of our collective efforts.


Thanks to everybody that participated in this and for everyone's mutual support. Much apreciated.

gp

[macwemyss]

What Gp said.. except the bit about Canadian Thanksgiving :D

[animatechnica]

great awards show ! thanks to all your efforts in putting this together - really came off well! kudos to the hosts for making it entertaining - yes i enjoyed the one liners
congrats to the winners and all the nominees!

[Nukester]

Man, I gotta say that the organisation and professionalism really stood out and I have to thank Tom, Killian and all the main hosts for making this show entertaining, authentic and most of all fun!

Congratulations to all nominee's and winners and a big big thanks to all who took time to watch, view and vote for our movies!!!

It was an absolute pleasure and honour to be a part of this :001_smile:

[TheMGMKid]

I had a wonderful time. Working with Norrie was a dream come true and I could not have asked for a better or more gracious co-host. He does what all great pros do he made me aspire to do my best and in the doing of that he made me better than I expected. Thank you Norrie!
And thanks to the Ollies voters for my two wonderful awards! It really is an honor to be a part of this, the first ever Ollies! And a very warm thank you to Tom and Killian. You inspire all of us and have shown us that dreams really do come true.

[Fospherous]

Well The Ollies is over for this year...thank you all! :)

[SatscapeFilms]

Really enjoyed the show, congrats to all winners and nominees. Also, an amazing technical feat!

Well done to the hosts, very entertaining.

Scott

[WarLord]

Excellent show and a great time. Congrats to all the winners. Very nicely done. Great community.

[Chris62]

Congrats to all the winners.
Great job guys.

[Dulci]

Fun event :) Congrats winners & thanks to everyone involved in making this happen!

[Harb40]

Major kudos to Tom, Killian and K4 for their work on this. And to Ken for giving us the webspace to show our films.

Congrats to all the winners. To the host of the pre-award show, to the host of the awards show and it's presenters and the hosts of the post-award show, great job.

[Killian]

Thanks for all the thanks; we tried our best :)

The important thing was that we hoped everyone had fun (which is what it was all about, at the end of the day; a chance for everyone to let their hair down, chill, have a laugh, discuss some great movies, recognise our friends and colleagues in the community, talk about what we hope to see making the rounds next year, stimulate the creativity, bring film makers together and not get too serious about it all... which I think, on the whole, we managed to do!)

[mr_chatnoir]

Congratulations on a show well organized and executed! :D

Kudos to Tom, Killian for all the hard work.

K4 - wow, what a performance!

Oh, an exciting red carpet show as well...

[TheFlyingDuDe]

what a great great show, I enjoyed every second I was listening! What a great moderator K4 is, your voice is really... can´t find the right word... it´s just really really enjoyable to listen to. =) And great work by Tom and killian as well.
Looking forward to next year!

[Burkey1993]

What a brilliant night it was! Such a brilliantly planned awards ceremony that certainly paid of on the night. Congratulations to all of the winners! It was truly an amazing ceremony and I can't wait till next year :D

[sisch]

What a wonderful, wonderful event it was! :)

Loved the pre-show with MGM and Norrie - you two should do shows together more often!

K4 - you're the best! Loved how you presented the show, and now I've heard about your predicament; wow, that's dedication! Big kisses for you, and get well soon! :001_smile:

A big kudos also to Killian and Tom, who worked tirelessly to make all of this happen. And of course to Ken, for giving us this place, for the radio shows and for being... Ken!

Congrats to all the nominees and winners - and really, to the whole community. We saw so many great films this last year, in my book, everyone is a winner!

Last but not least, I would again like to say thank you all - for your support, for making this filmic collective what it is, for the fun I have here, for your help, thoughts; for the inspiration, the acting, the modding, the music....

This is a great place to be! :001_smile:

[IceAxe]

I also want to join in by congratulating Tom, Killian, and K4 for an outstanding show. Originally I thought the format would turn into a bit of a kerfuffle, but I gotta hand it to you guys (and Ken too), the organisation was outstanding.

K4 did a superb job - I could picture the winners staggering through the crowds to reach the podium thanks to his great commentary.

The chatroom was lively too. Especially EthanRunt's running commentary. (Although I note that I was described as a bat at one point!)

I really enjoyed it. Really. Well done to everyone!

:35:

[DL Watson]

Ill agree with everyone that the ceremony was awesome! Great job on all fronts!

Now, Ill go crawl back into my cave and conjure up an evil plot against Sisch and Nukester.

Oh wait...I guess I could have not voted for them in the first place...

[animatechnica]

gotta have a special award for EthanHunt for having the funniest real time commentaries in the chat room

[stvndysn]

i thought the whole night was amazing you felt you was really there, the preshow party was hilarious, (wondered if he got photographed). loved the chat, ethan, everyone who was there was brilliant. we all made that day special.

[afterThought]

Like everyone has said, it was a wonderful award show! Thanks to those who organized and hosted the event and big congrats to all the winners!

[db4321]

I didn't hear the live event, unfortunately, but from what people are saying it sounds like it was fantastic to listen to.

Congratulations, also, to all the Ollie award winners!

[stvndysn]

[BenTuttle90]

Congrats to all the nominees and winners. That was a fun show. A big thanks to Tom and Killian for putting this together and K4, you did a really good job :thumbup:.


Ethan definitely needs a award for the comments at the chatroom.

[Doc Z]

Sounds like you guys had quite a lot of fun. Wondeful initiative! Can't wait until the next one :4:

Doc
