The Sandman should be here by then. Have fun y'all!

I feel bad for our out of country members. With pixote's timecoding, I see 7:00:00PM, but if you're elsewhere, I can't imagine the reaction to 2:00:00AM, or some other ungodly hour.

Move it down an hour and you've got it. How long does this thing usually last ? I might stay up if it's not too long...

Any predictions?

Pretty sure La La Land is going to win.

It takes about two hours to get through all the categories. I might rush it a little this year as I have places to be.

There are 10 people in the room already, so I think you need to register (for free) to get in...? That's what smirnoff did, I believe.

I arrived too late. Looks like it has been a Moonlight sweep.

I got home two hours in and the chat was already full. I figured it must have ended by then so I just went to bed. Sorry I had to miss it.

Please note the following updates to the Filmspots FAQ:

If a director previously co-directed a film, is their solo directorial debut still eligible for Best Debut Feature?

Only if the previously co-directed films were ineligible for the category by virtue of being shared with a non-debuting director. For example, The Way Way Back counted as the directorial debut for both Nat Faxon and Jim Rash, so a future solo effort from either of them would be ineligible in the category. On the other hand, Greta Gerwig's director credit on Nights and Weekends (2008) did not disqualify her future solo efforts since it was not also the debut of her co-director, Joe Swanberg. (Note: When a film's credits distinguish between a Director and a Co-Director, such as in many Pixar films, the Co-Director does not factor into this category at all.)

When are nominations ballots due?

Monday, January 22 (extending into Tuesday morning).

When are final ballots due?

Monday, March 5 (extending into Tuesday morning).

Also, if you update your post in the Filmspots 2017: Personal Ballots before the end of the year, I'm make sure the FYC threads are updated to reflect your current choices. So far, it looks like only about 4-7 people are taking advantage of that thread.
