Message: [QUOTE="Nehanda, post: 25107, member: 2262"] How Movies Win the Biggest Prize in Hollywood. Many people feel upset because Dune 2 did not receive a special award nomination. These people think it might be the best movie made in ten years, and they wonder why other movies like Emilia Perez earned nominations instead. The answer lies in when movies come out. Movie companies show their best films in October, November, and December. This happens because the people who vote for awards start watching movies in December. They remember the movies they watched most recently. Dune 2 played in theaters during February 2024. By December, voters had watched many other great movies and might have forgotten about it. The path to winning these awards starts with nominations. Different groups pick the best work in their field. Actors pick the best acting. Directors choose the best directing. Visual effects artists select the best special effects. When someone receives a nomination, other experts think they did amazing work. The final voting works specially. More than 10,500 people belong to this voting group. They watch all the nominated movies. For most awards, the choice with the most votes wins. The biggest award, Best Picture, works differently. Voters rank all the movies from their favorite to least favorite. They keep voting until one movie earns more than half of all votes. Many people think someone decides which movies win behind closed doors. The truth is something different. Movies win because many experts watched them and decided they were the best. When a movie does not receive a nomination, it means other experts picked different movies they thought were better. [/QUOTE]
