Good morning. Thank you all for coming at this early hour, to this year's Nomination Announcements for the 2nd Annual One-Year-Later Awards, the OYLs, the only Award show that honors the best in film from not, the last year, but the year before. This way, we've had time to see all the movies, and enough time to think a bit about which ones are actually good or not. Since this is just the 2nd year of our existance, before we announce the nominees, I thought we'd go over some of the rules for the Awards real quick for people who might be new to these.
Rule #1: Everybody who works at "David Baruffi's Entertainment Views and Reviews," is eligible to vote for the OYL Awards, but they must've seen 200 films from the year before this year, including/and/or a majority of the major Award nominees and winners from that year.
Rule #2: Awards will be presented in the categories of Best Picture, Best Director, Best Actor, Best Actress, Best Supporting Actor, Best Supporting Actress, Best Animated Feature, Best Documentary Feature, Best Foreign Language Feature, Best Original Screenplay and Best Adapted Screenplay, however, the OYL Awards won't necessarily be limited to these Awards alone.
3. The nominating rules:
A. Each category, unless otherwise noted, will have a minimum of 5 nominations per category, however, up to 10 nominations per category are allowed if more than five nominations in se category are deserving of a nomination, for that year, but no more than 10.
B. The Best Picture Category will have 10, and only 10 nominees per year, done so irrelevant of the amount of films the Academy nominates in order to promote and showcase many movies that might generally be overlooked.
C. The Best Animated Feature category will follow the same standard set by the A.M.P.A.S. as to nominations, a maximum of 3 nominations for years with less than 15 feature films released, and five nominations for years with 16 or more.
D. The Best Foreign Language Feature category can choose any film that's predominately shot in a foreign language, and that can include films shot and produced in the United States, by American filmmakers.
E. Documentaries are not eligible for the Best Picture category, although they are eligible in every other category
Okay, last year, we hurriedly rushed these Awards along, but they've gotten such a huge response for the Hollywood community that we've decided to take some time, and really plan out the festivities, a little formally this year, and to that end, we're excited to have with us, to announce the nominees this morning, the winner of the OYL Award last year for Best Supporting Actress for "Black Swan", Mila Kunis!
(Mila Kunis walks out on stage, some applause for the audience and press)
[LAWYER'S NOTE: "David Baruffi's Entertainment Views and Reviews" doesn't claim any huge response from the "Hollywood Community", or any community in regards to the OYL Awards or the blog, neither does Mila Kunis, or any other celebrity. Nor does it claim the existance of any OYL Awards Nomination Press Conference, nor that Mila Kunis attended/participated in any such event, and denies all involvement in any kidnapping plots/attempts of Mila Kunis, or any other actor/actress/reality-show constestant/celebrity/pseudo-celebrity/porn stars, and/or their drivers/valets/publishers/agents/children/parents and/or anybody connected with any of the aforementioned people/groups]

Note: Two films, "Pina" and "Undefeated", which both recieved Oscar nominations in the Best Documentary category (The latter, winning) were yet to be seen as of the date the Awards nominations were announce, as they remained unavailable on DVD, and will remain so until after the ceremony. Because of the essential nature of their immediate need to be viewed in order to give an appropriate declaration of the year in question, if after one/both film(s) are seen by the voting members, and they determine that they would've nominated se film(s) in any category that they would've normally been eligible for, had they viewed it earlier, se film's(s) name will be added to the nomination list, however, only as an "Unofficial Nomination", and will not be eligible to recieve any OYL Awards, post-ceremony.
