Okay, that has been changed. Also I took out the second Greta Garbo nomination from Badseed on his request. Me and Badseed had the idea of having no repeat actresses. The only one left that falls into that category is Gena Rowland with Gloria and A Woman Under the Influence. Norman and Keith nomes those 2. KKS nominated her first, so Norman are you okay with me scratching the Gloria performance from the nominations?

After that, we will still be 2 over. I will probably just snip 2 off the end and we will be at 64.

I'll cut the noms off at 64. Sorry to Saorsie/CGD for that.

I'll then make up the bracket and either me or badseed will post the first round soon-ish.

Back! Finally!

Awesome to see it being handled well. Keep on with it, I doubt stable internet will be with me for long.

As for the 4 extra noms, feel free to drop my four votes if you want to start now.

Shit, now that everybody wants to play again all of a sudden and we didn't stop at 64 we might as well keep going til we get to 128.

If we get rid of a Spacek performance we might as well get rid of a Gena Rowlands too. They're the only two that have two films. I was gonna add a duplicate in my final four as well and if you're not posting one I got dibs. Might as well keep em.

So here's the final four:

Greta Garbo - Camille
Claudette Colbert - It Happened One Night
Barbara Stanwyck - Double Indemnity
Jane Fonda - Klute

But yeah I suppose if it's a big enough deal we can let the Spacek, Rowlands and Garbo performances duke it out and then hold a quick poll for the three new performances.

And yes Hayden I meant I never have seen them but I hate voting against stuff I don't know. That's why I didn't post a 2015 list. If I had I would have likely knocked Me and Earl and the Dying Girl out of the top ten because I hadn't seen it yet and it was certainly a top 10 film for me.

ok actually I don't really have time atm to dig through and see which actors have already been represented so I'd kindly request that my Sissy Spacek nom is removed (seeing as Keith picked a better one) and whoever noms people in my place please pick women who are not already in the lineup somewhere else thanks

I had to read this a few times, and I'm slightly confused on what you mean by it 🤣 You're choosing between not voting for performances you haven't seen, or not voting for films with these particular actresses? 🤔

I think what you meant to say is that you haven't seen Mountains May Depart or Clean, so you can't vote for the performances. I highly recommend both of them... two stellar films. Regardless of whether or not you see them before this tournament.

I think if what you meant to say was that you'll abstain from polls where you haven't seen both performances, I'd agree. There's a handful of films I should watch before this as well... particularly Queen Christina and The Rapture.

Adele for me for BITWC. The Persona performances are so perfect, yet equally in need of that other perfect performance to play off of. I have never been able to pick. That's why I chose both at the same time.

Hayden's most recent post has me wondering whether I should vote for the performance I have seen or abstain from voting at all when it comes to Zhao Tao and Maggie Cheung.
