and wait for Corndog to decide if I should also post the rest.

It is a lot of work to maintain the FYC threads, so I would much rather not dive into the personal ballot threads. HOWEVER, I don't want to do anything to detract from posting anything here at all, obscure and without a chance or not. So please, if you'd like for others to consider something, please do post it in this thread.

Sneak peek, but we are discussing an option for 2018 which will make my work much easier and I think will be a better way of organizing things, which hopefully also means that the volume of FYC's should not be an issue (not that it's an "issue" now, that sounds bad, just a lot of work).

Gonna go out on a limb here and say that It is an Adapted screenplay, not an Original screenplay  ;D

Also, since it seems a shocking omission:

Best Surprise: Wonder Woman

Okay, I'm posting just the Best Film, Best English-Language film, and a few surprises. Those curious about my other nominations can look at my ballot. Not sure if the Schanelec has any distribution stateside, it's however available via other means. The Perkins should be on Netflix.

The Dreamed Path (Angela Schanelec)
Best Picture
Best Director
Best Original Screenplay
Best Ensemble Cast
Best Non-English Language Film
Best Editing
Best Sound
Best Cinematography
Best Art Direction

The Blackcoat's Daughter (Oz Perkins)
Best Picture
Best Director
Best Original Screenplay
Best Ensemble Cast
Best Sound
Best Score
Best Surprise
Best Debut Feature

Best Surprise
For the Plasma (Bingham Bryant, Kyle Molzan)
Colossal (Nacho Vigalondo)
The Girl with All the Gifts (Colm McCarthy)
Wet Woman in the Wind (Akihiko Shiota)
Antiporno (Sion Sono)

EDIT:
That the surprises contain two entries from the Roman Porno Reboot should make roujin chuckle.

FYI - Late tomorrow, I'll be updating the FYC threads to make sure they accurately reflect all ballots received to date and any up-to-date ballots in the personal ballot thread.

Six ballots received so far. Perhaps this will prove an incentive for more early voting.

Also:

Best Score
Faces Places

Best Scene (dramatic)
Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets - Major Tom (Opening)

Since few will want to watch the film, I ask that you at least watch this beautiful opening.

I could technically finish my ballot next time I have half an hour on my hands but I can probably still cram in a couple more movies before Monday.

Does this still serve a purpose? If not, please ignore.

Raw
Best Non-English Language Movie
Best Surprise
Best Début
Best Soundtrack

The Disaster Artist
Best Actor: James Franco

The Darkest Hour
Best Actor: Gary Oldman
Best Scene (Dramatic): final speech

Call Me By Your Name
Best Cinematography
Best Editing
Best Soundtrack

Things to Come (watched it months ago, didn't occur to me it would be eligible)
Best Actress: Isabelle Huppert

I noticed these seconds had not been made yet, for some insane reason (Corndog, I think the original nominations were not mine, I couldn't find them with a search):

The Big Sick
Best Ensemble Cast
Best Picture

The Square
Best Non-English Language Movie

Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri
Best Ensemble Cast
Best Actress: Frances McDormand

I'll also add

Lady MacBeth
Best Début

Since goodguy nominated it for this category but it's still black in the nominations thread, I assume it means I didn't nominate it in this category when I originally nominated it for other things.

FYC threads have been updated as of this post.

This is likely the last update I will perform on the threads prior to the voting deadline. I know pixote has mentioned updating them based on ballot received however.
