ME
Thank you Everyone, for coming, to the announcements for this years nominees for the 4th Annual, One-Year-Later Awards, The OYLs!
(Press applauds)
Yes, thank you. We're the only Award show, that takes it's time, and takes a whole year, to go through and see as much as we can from the year before, to make sure, that we get it correct, what was the best in film from the year.
(Press applauds again)
So far, we also have so hopefully again this year. Eh, before we announce the nominees, I wanted to refresh everyone on the nominees and awards and how exactly they are determined, so let's go over those real quick...
(I go over the rules and regulations, however no one's listening and the televised broadcast has chosen to comment over me at this moment.)
OYL AWARD RULES and REGULATIONS
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 a majority of the major Award nominees and winners from that year.
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 nomination 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.
REPORTER #1
If you're just joining, this is from the Las Vegas, where they are currently in the process of announcing the One-Year-Later Awards nomination, the film awards, that are very young, but have clearly distinguished themselves so far, by insisting on taking a whole extra year to watch, every film they can, before finally announcing the nominees, we have our entertainment reporter Alan Smithee on the scene, Alan, are there any predictions or surprises we should be expecting from these awards?
REPORTER #2
Well, there may be some surprises from the General Public's perception, but if you paid attention, there certainly are a few films we're expecting to hear quite a bit from tonight, for instant, we think the Best Picture category, we suspect that that is set, but there's room for surprises in some of the other awards, and they are known, for being against the grain at times, like their name implies, they wait a whole year before announcing the winners and nominees. They take pride, in being very precise and careful with these awards, so we'll see.
REPORTER #1
Do we have time for another question, to Alan, no we don't, I'm told, the announcements are coming up now.

Thank you very much.
(I, Hugh and Marion stand at the podium for a few moments, talking with each other, while the press begins huddling and scurrying about trying to figure out the nominees.)
REPORTER #1
Well, Alan, this was I-, Alan you there?
REPORTER #2
Yes, I'm here Jane.
REPORTER #1
Well, I guess you're all kinda overloaded right loaded now, there seemed to be a lot of nominations wasn't there, from a lot of films it seems?
REPORTER #2
(Laughs)
Well, I gotta be honest here, this has always been somewhat, a bit of an ordeal, but yes, even the OYLs, this amounts to a staggering amount of confusion, not only did, as they mention, all four acting categories, five if you count the Casting Ensemble by the way, did they all reach ten nominations, there wasn't even a repeat actor, getting maybe a second nomination in any of those categories, this was spread around, even more than ever, but it wasn't the only category, except for Adapted Screenplay, it seems, every category seems a very overloaded. Normally, the OYLs, do want to not narrow the nominations, because they do want to honor outstanding work in general and not be force to selecting the five best; they want the 5-10 performances that were absolutely outstanding and special to be mentioned for themselves, but this was unusually excessive I must say, but then again, I think this underlines, how much quality there was this past year in some of these categories. Best Actress, alone,- uh, I don't know how the hell they're gonna pick one from that list of nominees-
REPORTER
Well, Alan let's talk about the nominees, first for Best Picture, and we're to get totals in btw for each film, those should be on your screen in a second, what films did really well for these OYL Awards.

All others with 1 nomination
REPORTER #2
Well, "American Hustle" and "The Wolf of Wall Street" did the best, with ten and nine nominations respectively, "American Hustle" ties the record btw with "Inglourious Basterds" last year, although that film only won one OYL last year, but "American Hustle"'s nominations are spread over nine categories, so that bodes well for them; like the Oscars they got into all four acting categories, something hasn't happened until now with the OYLs. But, those two were basically the exception, there was a lot of spreading around, and then, and while it seems like they put some stock into the Oscars picks last year, if you look closer, they really didn't care, about other awards and simply gave out their own nominations. I'll give you an example here, not only did eight of the nine Foreign Language nominees get into another category, but "The Grandmaster" which wasn't nominated for Foreign Language film, got three nominations, and three other foreign language films got into other category, one in Supporting Actor, two in Animation, btw, "The Grandmaster" wasn't only not picked for Foreign Language Film, they picked another Chinese film, "A Touch of Sin" and that got into four other categories, including Picture and Director, so that country got eight nomination, and Belgium had seven, by the way, across three films, two nominated for Best Foreign Language film, "The Broken Circle Breakdown" and "Our Children", both of whom in other strange categories, but that country also made, "Ernest & Celestine", which got into Animated Feature. France only had six, and that was all, "Blue is the Warmest Color".
REPORTER #1
I also noticed that two films got Foreign Language film nominations and Documentary nominations, has that ever happened?
REPORTER #2
No, that's new as well, with "More than Honey" and "The Square", oh, "The Square" also, the first African film to get nominated anywhere at these awards, although last year, one of the Japanese animated films got into Animation and Foreign Language Film, and strangely the two foreign language Animated films, did not get into both. And neither of those docs were Cambodia "The Missing Picture" which didn't get into either, despite a Foreign Language Oscar nomination last year.
REPORTER #1
Well, back to Best Picture any surprises here, no "12 Years a Slave", for instance, no nominations at all for "Philomena", "Dallas Buyers Club", didn't do well, was this expected?
REPORTER #2
Actually Best Picture, for those who kept an eye out and payed attention, there wasn't a lot of surprises in Best Picture, for OYL followers who keep an eye out year-round, although a few would surprise some; Steve McQueen getting int Director, despite "12 Years a Slave", staying out of Picture, that was a bit of a surprise but not totally unexpected. The real surprises, and not counting a lot of the "Huh?" nominations, for films that most of the audience might not know about, "Frozen" getting into Adapted Screenplay, was the last one I truly didn't expect to see, "The Great Gatsby" in Production Design is an interesting one, 'cause that's the first time a film got a negative review from this blog, but still got into a category, that's groundbreaking, although it is Production Design. But, especially for Best Actress, I think a lot of people were going, "What the hell is "Our Children"?" What the hell is "Concussion"?! What's "Crystal Fairy and..." whatever the hell that was...", what' "Lore" is Supporting Actor, I think a lot are caught off-guard by those nominations right now, than anything else.
REPORTER #1
Okay, good I'm not alone. I didn't know "What Maisie Knew" or "A Touch of Sin" into the Best Picture categories even, and then what was Jennifer Hudson, surprisingly nominated for?
REPORTER #2
That was a "What?" and a "Huh?" for me too, "The Inevitable Defeat of Mister and Pete", that one, very small independent film, that got a few nominations at like, the Spirits and something like that. The one that caught some of the insiders offguard, was an experimental film, "An Oversimplification of Her Beauty" being remembered for Editing, that was one that surprised even the people who thought they had this the most pegged, but apparently not.
REPORTER #1
Okay, I'm not gonna ask you predictions, a lot of nominations, would you say anything is weird, or undeserved, and completely missed the mark to some degree?
REPORTER #2
Honestly, and I'm still scouring these, but no, I don't see something where I'm like annoyed by, and in some cases, some of these other nominations,- I mentioned Best Actress again, if you saw those other performances, by Veerle Baetens and Emilie Dequenne and Gaby Hoffman, and if you remember those films, you're really just at a complete blank on what could win in this group. Some of the performances not nominated in that category, were still reeling from them, but now we're looking at these other ones and thinking, "Oh wait a minute, this was unbelievable, that was unbelievable..." or Cinematography is the same way,- I just don't know who they're picking out of some of these major categories; it's a bit of a tricky awards to predict, and when you see what they were working with, it actually makes it harder, to predict, and it's also very easy to see why, so many categories, got to the maximum nominations this year; it really was incredible year for film.
REPORTER #1
Alright, Alan thank you very much, we'll get back to you later.
REPORTER #2
Thanks, Jane.
