RESULTS

Only the items listed below are eligible for each category. I've listed the minimum number of items that you must vote for in each category, but feel free to vote for as many as you want as runners-up (in order of preference). This will presumably be fun for other people to read, and may help me to determine a winner in the event of a tie.

Can someone give a more up-to-date list of short- film collections from 2022? Sometimes it's hard to tell what Re:Voir released and when - I thought Nature and Abstractions - Siegfried Fruhauf was 2022, but I think I'm wrong

[swo17]

Fruhauf was 2021 but because it didn't make last year's ballot, you can nominate it now for Best Late Discovery.

P.S. So as not to feel like a ball hog, I'm going to hold off on making any nominations or seconds myself for a bit, and give others a chance to do so

[therewillbeblus]

Fruhauf was 2021 but because it didn't make last year's ballot, you can nominate it now for Best Late Discovery.

I’ll do that then, thanks

[beamish14]

Heartbreakers is a great choice. Fun City Editions really went the extra mile with it. A major rediscovery of a film that was far too ahead of its time

[swo17]

Just to be clear, we are not voting yet but merely determining eligibility. (I haven't set dates yet, but last year we took nominations until March 15 and then voted the last two weeks of March.) Your post counts as a second for Christopher's Movie Matinee and a nomination for most everything else. Your mention of the Mekas set for Best Release is redundant because it had already been nominated and seconded

[Maltic]

I nominate for overall release or upgrade (you choose):
The Mummy (Second Sight)
The Mangler (Arrow)
Red Angel (Arrow)
You're Telling Me! (Kino)
South & the Heroic Age (BFI)
A Time for Dying (Indicator)
Robin Hood, Hammer set (Indicator)
Revolver (Eureka)
Warriors Two + The Prodigal Son (Eureka)
Millionaires Express (Eureka)
Virgin Stripped Bare by Her Bachelors (Grasshopper)

I second, for best overall:
Remember the Night (Indicator)
The Most Dangerous Game (Eureka)
A Fugitive from the Past (Arrow)
Bullfighter and the Lady (Indicator)
Three Films by Hong Sangsoo (Cinema Guild)
Freeway (VS)
Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2 (VS)
The Music of Chance (Imprint)
Get Carter (BFI)
Memoria (Sovereign Film Distribution)
The Seventh Curse (88 Films)
Love (Second Run)

[therewillbeblus]

Second for best release:

The Devil's Trap (Second Run)
Red Angel (Arrow)
A Time for Dying (Indicator)
Warriors Two + The Prodigal Son (Eureka)
Millionaires Express (Eureka)
Virgin Stripped Bare by Her Bachelors (Grasshopper)

Nominate for best release:

Trier’s Oslo trilogy (I suppose this could also count as an improvement to Criterion’s release since it contains more movies, but… less supplements)

Nominate for best cover:

Cloak and Dagger
Trier’s Oslo trilogy
The Most Dangerous Game

Out of nowhere, Magnificent Warriors seems to have been pushed back a month unfortunately so that won’t win cover

[swo17]

Second:

The Mangler (Arrow)
Red Angel (Arrow)
A Time for Dying (Indicator)
Warriors Two + The Prodigal Son (Eureka)
Millionaires Express (Eureka)
Virgin Stripped Bare by Her Bachelors (Grasshopper)

Maltic effectively nominated all of these for both Best Overall Release and Best Upgrade, so if you're going to second them you need to say for which category

[therewillbeblus]

Gotcha, I edited my post

[Maltic]

They all have worthwhile extras except Virgin Stripped Bare, so I guess I could just have said overall release for those.

In fact, that goes for all the titles I nominated except You're Telling Me! and Virgin Stripped Bare. But then some might prefer the vintage docs included in You're Telling Me! to, say, a Frank Djeng commentary. They're just not for me.

[swo17]

twbb, do you no longer wish to second The Mangler?

Also, now we have Maltic calling VSB merely an upgrade while twbb has seconded it for overall release. The release is barebones, so I'd be inclined to put it in the upgrade category where it stands a better chance. (There you're basically just voting for the film as opposed to the entire package)

[therewillbeblus]

Yes I accidentally seconded that one, and sure, I’ll nominate the Hong for upgrade then

[Yakushima]

BEST COMMENTARY
Kat Ellinger - The Laughing Woman

[therewillbeblus]

Aren’t the Radiance releases officially 2023? I know a few of us got our bundles early but pretty sure the label begins this year and Big Time Gambling Boss’ street date is Jan. If I’m wrong, I second it

[swo17]

Yeah, they're 2023 releases

[Yakushima]

I almost forgot to nominate the tremendous Sony Pictures Classics: 30th Anniversary Collection 4K (Sony).
All of the discs in this set I've watched so far (namely Orlando, The City of Lost Children, Run Lola Run, The Devil’s Backbone and Volver) represent major upgrades in quality for the respective titles. I hope this one will be seconded for BEST UPGRADE category.

Also, I have a question for Swo17: can I nominate All the Haunts Be Ours box set (Severin) for 2022 best release? Or is it considered a 2021 release? If acceptable, this would be my #1 contender for a BEST RELEASE. Thanks!

[swo17]

That's a good question, since it only became available outside Severin's website last January. However, it was technically released in December of 2021, and more importantly, we already awarded it a bunch of stuff last year (4th best release, 2nd best boxset, best collection of short films, best booklet). So it's not eligible this year
