HELP WANTED!

We, Katie and Lauren, need your, the readers, help. In case it somehow escaped your notice, it's award season in the cinematic world. In light of this, we have decided to create our own awards. This is where you come in. 

We need some suggestions for 

1. A name for this snazzy award

2. Categories

3. Nominees

Here's a goal/mission statement so you understand our aim in this matter. Every year, awards are given to movies most people probably don't see. Let's face it, limited release means half the movies nominated for awards are never seen outside of art houses in New York, Chicago, and L.A. Box office gems, like The Dark Knight, get constantly overlooked. Our awards will go to these overlooked, but great movies. 

For some inspiration to encourage those ideas to flow, probable categories at this point include Best Picture, Best Actor, Best Actress, Best Supporting Actor, Best Supporting Actress, Best visual Effects, and Best Screenplay. Obviously, these are the usual categories. We want you to tell us what you think of these potential categories: Best Technical Explosion and/or Use of Pyrotechnics, Best Fight Choreography, and Best Film Set in a Foreign Country (in regards to the last one, this is up for suggestion because most people don't see foreign films; they do see movies set entirely in foreign countries). Also, what if instead of Best Score we had a category for Best Use of a Song in a movie that hadn't been written for that movie?

Please comment and give us possible titles, categories, and nominees. Input is greatly appreciated. Think of this as a new way of procrastination if you need an excuse. 

Thank you,

Katie and Lauren
