FRANCISTOWN FILM FESTIVAL, DAY ONE

Jonathan: Hello everyone! I'm Jonathan Wright, and this is my co-presenter, Mary Phillips.

Mary: Hi!

Jonathan: Today, we are celebrating the commencement of the First Annual Francistown Film Festival! Let's take a brief look at the films that made it into the finals, shall we?

Mary: Sure!

Mary: Wow, Jonathan, those previews look great!

Jonathan: They sure do! Now, we shall see a Francis Award trophy, and then list the categories in which the films we have may win one or more Francis Awards.

Mary: The Francis Award trophies are plated in 24-karat gold, and are set on a base of Grandian hardwood with a golden plaque, on which is etched the name of the recipient of the trophy, and what he or she recieved it for. The categories which a Francis Award may be bestowed for are: Best Actor; Best Supporting Actor; Best Actress; Best Supporting Actress; Best Animated Film; Best Cinematography; Best Costume Design; Best Director; Best Film Editing; Best Makeup; Best Original Score; Best Original Song; Best Picture; Best Sound Editing; Best Sound Mixing; Best Visual Effects; Best Original Screenplay; and Best Stunt Coordination.

Jonathan: Those sure are a lot of categories! I'll wager that every film here will be nominated for at least one, there are so many categories!

Mary: I'll bet you 10 Enieo that that won't happen!

Jonathan: It's a deal then! Anyways, before we begin the first film, let's all welcome our special guest for today! I think you've all heard of him! Please rise now, and welcome His Imperial & Royal Majesty, Charles the First, King of Grand, Emperor of Belluterra, King of Malo, Prince of Tarskya, Grand Duke of Royale, Duke of Long Island, Count of Skarr, Count of Creek, and Count of Lake Tranquil!

Mary: Wow, that title's a mouthful!

Charles: Yeah, that sure is. Anyways, I can't wait to see which of these films will win awards! Some of these films I've seen before, and others I haven't, so I'm really excited to see the new films, while I wouldn't mind seeing the ones I've already seen, as they're quite good.

Jonathan: Well, now let's sit back and enjoy the first film, Fall of the Imperium, directed by Martin Alathocaron, and starring John Strattford as General Julius, Nicolas Princeps as Antonius, and Emma Salathon as Bella. It chronicles the final years of the Anatheonian Empire, which was the largest empire to rule Eastern Althena. As you might guess, it was made in Greater Morsco.

*3 hours, 45 minutes later*

Mary: That film was amazing! I really enjoyed it!

Jonathan: The plot didn't interest me so much as the soundtrack, which you'd have to admit was pretty well done.

Mary: Indeed. Anyways, what's next on the list?

Jonathan: Well, the next film would be the Ruterian film Pirates of the Alcadean: The Curse of the White Chest, starring Sam Benkings as Captain William Smith, John Greene as Wallace Seen, Nuria Jolla as Victoria Geart, James Clark as Governor Josh Geart, and Jose Mero as Captain Rojassa.

Charles: This film I didn't see before; it looks like it will be interesting.

Mary: This film follows Captain William Smith, a pirate, and his acquaintance Wallace Seen, a blacksmith, as they search for Victoria Geart, the love of Wallace's life, who has been kidnapped by the feared pirate Captain Rojassa, who, along with his crew, is under a curse, doomed for eternity to neither live, nor die, unless a blood sacrifice is made.

Jonathan: Wait, Rojassa kidnapped Victoria because...

Mary: Hush! The movie has already begun!

*2 hours, 25 minutes later*

Mary: This genre of film is not usually the type I watch, but this particular film was quite good! What do you think about the film, Your Highness?

Charles: I agree with you!

Jonathan: Well, on to our final film for today, which comes from Utrova: Inception, directed by Stanislaw Walzak, and starring Stanislav Feoderov as Leonid Cobb, Oksana Ivanovich as Adriana, Joseph Levit as Artur, Tomas Hardov as Eames, and Dilov Raov as Yusef. The plot involves a group of people in Orkovgrad, the Utrovan capital, who, at certain times, travel through people's dreams to find important secrets.

Mary: Oooo, mysterious! Sounds cool!

Jonathan: Well, here we go then!

*2 hours, 48 minutes later*

Charles Now THAT was an interesting movie!

Mary: It surely was!

Jonathan: What was so interesting about it?

Charles: Heh, well, I guess everyone has his or her own likes and dislikes.

Jonathan: Hey, I was just kidding about it being boring! My true opinion is that, while probably not the most interesting movie I've ever seen, it's definitely worth watching.

Mary: That's essentially what I thought as well.

Jonathan: Really?

Mary: Uh-huh.

Jonathan: I see. Well, I believe that's it for tonight, everyone! Khot hap ee ko, and please come back tomorrow for Day Two of the Festival!

Mary: Goodbye everyone! And once again, thank you, Your Highness, for coming to the Festival today.

Charles: And once again, you're most welcome, Mrs. Phillips. Goodbye, and have a pleasant evening!

Note: I'll do the replies after the Festival is over.

FRANCISTOWN FILM FESTIVAL, DAY TWO

Jonathan: Well, welcome back, ladies and gentlemen, to Day Two of the First Annual Francisto...

Mary: Jonathan, I'm pretty sure that everyone here, not to mention those watching this event, know that it's Day Two of the first annual FFF.

Jonathan: Well, yeah, but it's kind of our duty to say that.

Mary: You're right. Well, sorry for interrupting you. Please continue, Jonathan.

Jonathan: Okay. Well anyways, as I was saying, welcome back everyone! Today, we will continue to review the films which qualified for the finals this year, accompanied by our special guests for today. The fi...

Mary: Wait, did you say "Special guests"? I thought there was going to be only one?

Jonathan: Well Mary, since the volcanic ash from Askivötn cleared up a few days ago, Johanna was able to fly here at last. She arrived last night, in fact. However, because of the delay caused by all flights in Fovazh and West Althena being grounded for a long time, her stay here will unfortunately be substantially shorter than originally planned. However, she will be able to attend the festival for the next few days.

Mary: Oh look, here she comes now!

Johanna: Hello guys!

Mary: Welcome, Johanna! It's great to meet you!

Johanna: Same here.

Mary: So, are you enjoying your stay here in Grand so far?

Johanna: Definitely!

Charles: So, what's the first film on today's list?

Jonathan: That would be the Utrovan film Source Code, Your Majesty.

Johanna: I've never seen it. What's it about?

Mary: The plot centers around a certain man who, after narrowly surviving a train derailment in Chidessa, decides to hunt down the person responsible for the bombing which caused the accident. After doing so, he finds that the bomber has already set his plans in motion for a larger "accident", this time hitting the Utrovan capital, and he decides to try to prevent that from occuring. The film stars Jake Gyllanov as Stanislaw Colldorov, Vika Monohan as Hristina Varon, Vera Farmiha as Captain Gosda, Jeffrey Wright as Dr. Rutleh, and Mikhail Ardon as Drechk Snih. Like the Utrovan film we saw yesterday, this one is also directed by Stanislaw Walzak.

Johanna: Hmmm, interesting. What do you think, Charles?

Charles: I agree with you. Let's begin the film!

Jonathan: Right away, sire!

*1 hour, 33 minutes later*

Charles Better then I expected!

Mary: That film did have a few suprises in store... I didn't expect the end to be like that.

Jonathan: I think that every really good movie should have some suprises in store... it gets boring when all the films are so predictable.

Johanna: I agree with you on that. Anyways, what's next?

Mary: Another Utrovan film, and one of only two animated films to make it in. It's called "The Looney Looney Looney Bugs Bunny Movie". It's quite short actually; the shortest film that made it into the finals, if I'm not mistaken.

Jonathan: Heh, I used to watch those Utrovan cartoons about him a lot when I was little... so, what are we waiting for?

Mary: Here we go!

*29 minutes later*

Mary: Well, that was short.

Jonathan: Indeed. I wouldn't have minded it if it had gone on longer however.

Mary: Really? For my part, I was kind of relieved when it was over. Too much rabbit-ness.

Jonathan: The "too much rabbit-ness" is what I enjoyed best!

Charles: Uh... guys?

Jonathan: Sorry, Your Majesty.

Charles: It's ok. I rather liked the short film as well, but let's not get into that. What's the next film?

Jonathan: I believe it's the Grandian film Agents of Tegno, which was the only film from our country to enter.

Johanna: What's it about? It only came out a few days ago, so I didn't see it yet.

Mary: Directed by the world-famous Grandian director Jim Bailings, who also was the producer of the box-office hit Loggers, which won two Defers Awards and made 173 million Enieo worldwide, and starring Andrew Norman as Kent Antas, Isabella Thompson as Jenny King, Harold Bama as Henry King, and Fred Benner as Jim Andrews, Agents of Tegno is set during a fictional war between the Republic of Nosagua and the Principality of Conortosia. As the Nosaguans rapidly lose ground during the war, they dispatch a small team of secret agents into the heart of Conortosia to kidnap high-ranking Conortosian officials and hold them for ransom. However, the agents have no idea of how hard their mission would be, in more ways than one.

Johanna: This is gonna be great, I can tell.

Jonathan: Switch it on!

*2 hours, 15 minutes later*

Johanna: What did I tell you? It was great, wasn't it?

Mary: It was! And I can't imagine how Jenny felt... it must have been hard for her, with her boyfriend being one of those Conortosian officials.

Charles: Yeah, considering the circumstances, I was not that surprised that she did what she did in the end.

Jonathan: Andy Norman sure was a great actor... he obviously didn't win that Golden Fabhcun for Best Actor for his role in Attack of the Killer Parrots back in July for nothing.

Johanna: I second that.

Mary: What's the next film, Jonathan?

Jonathan: That would be the other animated film that entered, Where in the World is Anokan?, directed by Bob Peterson, and starring the voices of Jamie Bell as Billy, and Jorden Nagai as his best friend, Russel. The story begins when Billy and Russel are rummaging through some of Billy's late grandfather's things, and they find a misplaced letter from 1979. They then decide to attempt to reach the distant (fictional) nation of Anokan on the other side to the world to deliver the letter to earn the last Guide badge they need.

Mary: Sounds pretty decent.

Jonathan: Here we go then!

*1 hour, 36 minutes later*

Mary: That was wonderful! A lot better than that Bugsy movie!

Jonathan: I'll have to hand it to you, it really was a lot better than I expected!

Johanna: Is that the end of Day Two?

Charles: I believe there's one more for tonight.

Mary: Indeed there is. It's the Ruterian disaster film 2011, directed by Ronald Arnolds. It's a fictionalized version of what some people claim could happen on December 23rd 2011, when the Mutir Long Count Calendar ends its cycle.

Charles: I saw this one before, and although a few scenes were a little unrealistic in my opinion, it was a pretty good movie overall.

Jonathan: I haven't seen it.

Mary: Here goes!

*2 hours, 38 minutes later*

Jonathan: Whew! That was exhilarating!

Mary: Even though I've seen it before, it was good to see it again!

Johanna: I enjoyed watching it again as well.

Charles: So did I.

Jonathan: Well, I suppose that's it for tonight. Good night everyone! Khot hap ee ko, and and please come back tomorrow for Day Three of the Festival!

Mary: Goodbye! It certainly was a pleasure to meet you, Johanna! I hope we will have an opportunity to meet again sometime soon.

Johanna: It would be great to have you over anytime, if that's alright with Charles. I'm still just a guest here myself for now.

Charles: Of course it would be fine!

Mary: Thank you both so much! Well, this is Mary Phillips, signing off now, and I wish you all a pleasant evening.

[Fox 1,444]

Fantastic day two ...

Can't wait to see how the winners will be!

FRANCISTOWN FILM FESTIVAL, DAY THREE

Jonathan: Well, welcome once again to Day Three of the Francistown Film Festival! Charles and Johanna will continue to accompany us today as we review the films that were submitted.

Charles: Hello everyone!

Johanna: Hi!

Mary: Welcome, both of you!

Johanna: So, what's the first film for today?

Mary: That would be the film Don Fierro, from New Chandler. The story, which is based on a major event in New Chandlerite history, begins 4,500 years ago, when T'Chasa controlled what is now the West Coast of the Cassidy Peninsula in Eastern New Chandler. Don Mikel Fierro and his sister Hana plan an attack with thousands of Cassidites up to Huesal (modern-day Darlington City), their old capital, where the Viceroy has his own plans. From the sea, general Ta'nei Boneli leads a separate attack on the city, led by the Ashtonites. They both claim the city, and eventually unite under the name of Chandler. The nation that they founded stayed around for the next 4,200 years. The film was directed by Simon Coto, and features Jeremiah Stewart as Don Mikel Fierro, Leah Thompson as Miriam D'astine, Fabio Gonzale as Viceroy Dominic Gaubes, Mark Case as Ta'nei Boneli, and Naomi Stevens as Hana Fierro. It won or was nominated for several awards from the New Chandler Film Academy, and is the only film in the festival to be rated R.

Charles: A historically-themed film. This should be quite interesting.

Johanna: What are you waiting for?

Jonathan: It's on now!

*2 hours, 16 minutes later*

Charles: As I said; quite interesting indeed.

Mary: A little too violent for my taste, but the film's pretty good overall!

Jonathan: I think it was a great film!

Johanna: Agreed.

Charles: So, what's next?

Jonathan: Next is the recent Llithustanian film Lakehurst. Directed by Alto Corry, and starring Rheno Apaluntios, Carmen Salby, Ursula Churton, Han-Leifo Erturon, and Jason De'Vancé, the film begins with a hurricane forming in the North Atlantic Ocean; Antarida, being located directly in the path of the oncoming storm, prepares accordingly. However, when the hurricane reaches that region, they find their data to be vastly incorrect, and the entire nation is ravaged by high winds, heavy rain, and massive tsunami-like rogue waves. Five friends find themselves trapped in one area of the city of Lakehurst by the raging storm and its associated deep floodwaters and treacherous weather, and try their best to survive it, and if possible, escape from the devastated city.

Mary: I haven't seen it.

Charles: I don't think any of us have, so this will be very interesting for all of us!

Mary: I'm turning it on now!

*1 hour, 12 minutes later*

Charles: Wow...

Jonathan: The special effects were astounding! I'm pretty sure we have a major contender for Best Visual Effects here, don't you think?

Mary: I agree with you Jonathan, this could very well win that award!

Johanna: I agree with you all, this was a pretty good film!

Charles: Yeah, it most assuredly was! Anyways, what's next on the film menu?

Jonathan: King Cappore Saseille, also a Llithustanian film, directed by Lyon Georgi, and starring Carter Jonesfield as King Cappore, Marthah Fauté as Queen Aria, Artor Fernstab as Damion, and Bothan Ilisit as Réon. Like Don Fierro, this is also a historical film, although the setting is much more recent. The film opens during the reign of the Supreme Litusian Monarch, King Cappore Saseille, who ruled Llithustania & Central Llithustania with an iron fist, torturing his country and laying brutal laws and punishments. Eventually two peasants from Irolaen refused to be under his reign and tyranny and decided to create a resistance, and became an inspiration to millions of people in the Kingdoms of Llithustania. Although they had next to no military experience, they organized and led an army of millions in which battled countless Capporian armies which were too small to succeed against their angry peasant hordes. They charged into Maine, burned "the city of the rich" and forced King Cappore to resign. This event inspires those in the other Llithustanian Kingdoms to revolt against their other rulers and slaughter countless superiors. The film ends with the hanging of Cappore for his brutality against his own nation.

Charles: Another history-themed film? Bring it on!

Mary: Here goes!

*1 hour, 37 minutes later*

Charles: Great film!

Johanna: It certainly was!

Mary: Too bad Cappore was hung though...

Charles: Well, he was a brutal tyrant, so I can understand why the peasants did that. What really surprised me, though, was that the rebels didn't kill Cappore on the spot, especially considering how angry they were.

Jonathan: Yeah, that surpised me as well.

Johanna: So anyways, I presume that's it for tonight?

Jonathan: Well, yes. Tomorrow will be the last reviews, and then, on the day after that, the award ceremonies will take place.

Charles: Cool! I can't wait for the awards!

Mary: Same here!

Jonathan: Well, goodbye for now! Khot hap ee ko, and please come back for the final reviews tomorrow!

Mary: And thank you again, both of you, for continuing to grace our festival with your presence.

Johanna: You're quite welcome!

Mary: Goodnight everyone, and may the rest of your evening be pleasant!

[Fox 1,444]

Another successful day in Francistown.

Love the Critiques once again.

[Schulmanator 5,815]

Hmmm... need to get some more popcorn to watch more movies...

[emperordaniel 1,281]

FRANCISTOWN FILM FESTIVAL, DAY FOUR

Mary: Well, well, well! Looks like we've finally made it, Jonathan!

Jonathan: Indeed we have, Mary. Today, we will present the last film to be reviewed! Tomorrow, we move on to the awards ceremony!

Charles: And what film may that be?

Jonathan: It's not exactly a film; called AIN Wars, it was originally a TV miniseries, but was put together into one superlong "film" for the festival. Made in Shayden, directed by Forthwall Mastof, it stars Thomas as Thomas Simpson, Daniel as Daniel, Smart By Law as Smart by Law/Darth By Law, Hiigar as Hiigar By Law, Blakeway as Blake Way, Jo as Princess Jo Organa, Zack as Queen Zack, Geoff as Count Geoffu, Evillions as Senator Evillions/Darth Evillious/Emperor Evillious, Peter as Mace Peter, Dryan as Darth Dryan, and Huston as Huston Jinn. Want a complete description of the plot?

Johanna: Sure!

Mary: Ok, but don't say we didn't warn you...

Jonathan: The first episode of the film follows the early life of Smart By Law. He is discovered by the Admin Knight Huston, who believes him to be the "Chosen One" foretold by Admin prophecy to bring balance to the Force. The Admin Council, led by the ancient Admin Grandmaster Daniel, sense that Smart By Law's future is clouded by fear, but reluctantly allow Huston's apprentice Thomas to train Smart By Law after Huston is killed by the Sith Lord Darth Dryan. At the same time, the planet Cattala is under attack, and its ruler, Queen Zack, seeks the assistance of the Admins to repel the attack. The Sith Lord Darth Evilious secretly planned the attack to give his alter ego, Senator Evillions, a pretense to overthrow the Supreme Chancellor of the Shushtrepistaz and take his place. The second and third episodes of the miniseries chronicle Smart By Law's gradual fall to the dark side of the Force as he fights in the Clone Wars, which Evillions secretly engineers in order to destroy the Shushtrepistaz and lure Smart By Law into his service. Smart By Law, now an Admin-in-training, and Queen Zack fall in love and secretly wed, and eventually Zack becomes pregnant. Smart By Law has a prophetic vision of Zack dying in childbirth, and Evillions convinces him that the dark side holds the power to save her life; desperate, Smart By Law submits to the dark side and takes the Sith name Darth By Law. While Evillions, now revealed in his true form as Darth Evillious, re-organizes the Shushtrepistaz into the tyrannical Shushtrepistaz Empire—appointing himself Emperor for life—Darth By Law participates in the extermination of the Admin Order, culminating in a desperate lightsaber battle between himself and Thomas. Thomas ultimately defeats his former apprentice and friend, severing his limbs and leaving him for dead beside a lava flow. However, Evillious arrives shortly afterward and saves Darth By Law, putting him into a black, mechanical suit of armor that keeps him alive. At the same time, Zack dies, heartbroken, while giving birth to her twins, named Hiigar and Jo. The twins are hidden from Darth By Law and are not told who their real parents are.

The fourth episode begins 19 years later as Darth By Law nears completion of the Tirnrich, a massive space station with the ability to destroy a planet, which will allow the Empire to crush the Shushtrepistaz Rebel Alliance, which has formed to combat Evillious' tyranny. Darth By Law captures Princess Jo Organa, who has stolen the plans to the Tirnrich and hidden them in the astromech droid Spy. Spy, along with his counterpart C-3Dabu, escape to the planet Syldavia. There, the droids are purchased by Hiigar and his step-uncle and aunt, who he is staying with. While Hiigar is cleaning Spy, he accidentally triggers a message put into the droid by Jo, who asks for assistance from Thomas. Hiigar later assists the droids in finding the aged Admin Knight, who is now passing as an old hermit under the alias Thomas Simpson. When Hiigar asks about his father, Thomas tells him that Smart By Law was a great Admin who was betrayed and murdered by Darth By Law. Thomas and Hiigar hire the smuggler Blakeway and his alien co-pilot Forthbacca (in a cameo, played by the director) to take them to Arcacia, Jo's homeworld, which they eventually find has been destroyed by the Tirnrich. Once onboard the space station, Thomas allows himself to be killed during a lightsaber rematch with Darth By Law; his sacrifice allows the group to escape with Princess Jo and the plans that help the rebels destroy the Tirnrich.

The fifth segment takes place three years later, when Hiigar travels to find Daniel and start his Admin training, but is interrupted when Darth By Law lures him into a trap by capturing Blakeway and the others. Darth By Law reveals that he is Hiigar's father and attempts to turn him to the dark side. Hiigar escapes, and, after rescuing Blakeway from the clutches of the evil gangster Daniel the Rus a year later, returns to his training with Daniel, who by this time is on his deathbed. Before he passes away, Daniel confirms that Darth By Law is Hiigar's father, Smart By Law; moments later, Thomas's spirit tells Hiigar that he must face his father before he can become an Admin, and that Jo is his twin sister. As the Rebels attack the partially-competed Atlantic Federation, a massive space station far more powerful than even the Tirnrich, Hiigar confronts Darth By Law in its Throne Room as Evillious watches; both Sith Lords intend to turn Hiigar to the dark side and take him as their apprentice. During the ensuing lightsaber duel, Hiigar succumbs to his anger and brutally overpowers Darth By Law, but controls himself at the last minute; realizing that he is about to suffer his father's fate, he spares Darth By Law's life and proudly declares his allegiance to the Admins. An enraged Evillious then attempts to kill Hiigar with Force lightning, a sight that moves Darth By Law to turn on and kill his master, suffering mortal wounds in the process. Redeemed, Smart By Law dies in his son's arms. Hiigar becomes a full-fledged Admin, and escapes from the space station as the Rebels destroy the Atlantic Federation and, with it, the Shushtrepistaz Empire, restoring the Shushtrepistaz at last.

Charles: I have a bad feeling about this... how long is it?

Mary: Rounded off, about 14 hours.

Johanna: Whoa, that's long!

Jonathan: Feel up to the challenge of watching the whole thing?

Charles: I guess...

Mary: Here we go!

*13 hours, 35 minutes later*

Charles: FINALLY it's over! Not to say that I didn't enjoy it or anything like that, but I'm just so relieved that it's done.

Mary: I wouldn't be surprised if everyone here felt the same way.

Jonathan: What was that you just said?

Mary: You fell asleep?

Jonathan: Did I?

Mary: You fell asleep!

Jonathan: Dang. That's the first time I fell asleep at work, and it had to be on live national, no, INTERNATIONAL TV? Why didn't you wake me up?

Mary: Well, I assumed that you weren't asleep.

Jonathan: Well, you could have checked!

Charles: Uh... guys?

Mary: Sorry, Your Majesty.

Jonathan: My apologies as well.

Charles: It's ok.

Jonathan: Well anyways, that brings us to the closing of the film reviews. Please join us tomorrow for the handing out of the awards, at the conclusion to the First Annual Francistown Film Festival! Khot hap ee ko, and thanks once again for joining us, everyone!

Mary: Goodnight, Your Majesty! And goodnight to you too, Johanna!

Johanna: Goodnight, Mrs. Phillips!

Charles: Have a pleasant evening!

[Schulmanator 5,815]

That movie seems vaguely familiar somehow....

[Fox 1,444]

LOL .. I can't believe they fell asleep .. well I guess I can since it was soooo long.

Another great update and another great day at the Festival!

[emperordaniel 1,281]

While he is announcing the nominees, the judges will decide on which to pick as winner for each category, and then pass on their decisions to us, and then Brian will announce the winners. So, Mary, are you ready to hand over your 10 Enieo? Because I'm pretty sure that each film will be nominated for something!

Mary: You should be ready to fork out that much! I'm positive I will win!

Charles: Wait, you were serious about that bet?

Mary: Of course we're serious! I'd never make a bet in jest!

Johanna: Good thing it's only 10 Enieo then...

Brian: Well, looks like the judges have decided on the five nominees for Best Actor, and they are...

Sam Benkings - for his role as Captain William Smith in Pirates of the Alcadean: The Curse of the White Chest

John Greene - for his role as Wallace Seen in Pirates of the Alcadean: The Curse of the White Chest

Andrew Norman - for his role as Kent Antas in Agents of Tegno

Jamie Bell - for his role as Billy in Where in the World is Anokan?

Jeramiah Stewart - for his role as Don Mikel Fierro in Don Fierro

Mary: Wow, those are some interesting nominations! Personally, I think the nominations of Seen, Norman, and Bell was a given, as they all had great performances.

Jonathan: I agree with you, Mary.

Brian: Here come the nominations for Best Supporting Actor!

Nicolas Princeps - for his role as Antonius in Fall of the Imperium

Dilov Raov - for his role as Yusef in Inception

Mark Case - for his role as General Ta'nei Boneli in Don Fierro

Carter Jonesfield - for his role as King Cappore in King Cappore Saseille

Huston - for his role as Huston Jinn in AIN Wars

Jonathan: My favorite of those just listed was Nicolas Princeps; he really knows how to make the most of his screen time.

Mary: I prefer Carter Jonesfield, but you're right, Nicolas Princeps was pretty good in that film as well.

Johanna I really liked Huston's performance in AIN Wars, and I hope that he will show us more of his skills in the future.

Brian: And the nominees for Best Actress are...

Emma Salathon - for her role as Bella in Fall of the Imperium

Naomi Stevens - for her role as Hana Fierro in Don Fierro

Isabella Thompson - for her role as Jenny King in Agents of Tegno

Carmen Salby - for her role as Sarah in Lakehurst

Mary: Miss Stevens' role as Hana was completely awesome! I'm so glad she's nominated!

Jonathan: Totally! Anyways, Brian, have the judges decided on who will be nominated for the next award yet?

Brian: Well, here it comes now!

Jonathan So, who's been nominated for Best Supporting Actress?

Brian: The actresses nominated for Best Supporting Actress are...

Oksana Ivanovich - for her role as Adriana in Inception

Vera Farmiha - for her role as Captain Gosda in Source Code

Leah Thompson - for her role as Miriam D'astine in Don Fierro

Ursula Churton - for her role as Martha in Lakehurst

Marthah Fauté - for her role as Queen Aria in King Cappore Saseille

Jonathan: Fauté's role as the Queen in King Cappore Saseille was quite well done! I would have been somewhat disappointed if she didn't get that award, so it's a good thing she did get it!

Mary: I preferred Ivanovich as Adriana, but I'd have to say, Fauté's also a pretty good actress.

Charles: I think both of them played their parts really well in their respective films.

Brain: And the nominees for Best Animated Film are...

The Looney Looney Looney Bugs Bunny Movie

Where in the World is Anokan?

Mary: It's unfortunate that only two animated films made it into the festival, as, in my opinion, Anokan will definitely win that award, with very little competition.

Jonathan: As much as I like Bugs Bunny, I'd have to agree with you there, Mary.

Brian: The nominees for Best Cinematography are...

Fall of the Imperium

Pirates of the Alcadean: The Curse of the White Chest

2011

Don Fierro

King Cappore Saseille

Charles: Of those five nominations, I personally like Fall of the Imperium the best, although I really like the others as well.

Jonathan: Yeah, the cinematographers who worked on that film really knew what they were doing!

Mary: I agree with you both.

Brian: The nominees for Best Costume Design are...

Fall of the Imperium

Pirates of the Alcadean: The Curse of the White Chest

Don Fierro

King Cappore Saseille

AIN Wars

Mary: The costumes for King Cappore Saseille and AIN Wars were awesome!

Jonathan: That's if you discount the generally bland costumes in the second half of the latter movie.

Mary: Well, yeah. But that doesn't make the costumes in the first half any less awesome!

Brian: The nominees for Best Director are...

Martin Alathocaron, Fall of the Imperium

Stanislaw Walzak, Source Code

Ronald Arnolds, 2011

Simon Coto, Don Fierro

Alto Corry, Lakehurst

Jonathan: I'm glad Corry's nominated! He's my favorite director of those that made it in!

Mary: I would have preferred it if Jim Bailings had also been nominated... but I'm content with the current list of nominees.

Charles: I admire Simon Coto's work a lot, so it's nice that he's nominated.

Brian: Nominations for Best Film Editing go to...

Fall of the Imperium

Inception

Agents of Tegno

2011

AIN Wars

Johanna: I'm no movie expert, but I do believe that the editing of Inception is quite superior to most of the other nominees... of course, that's just my opinion.

Charles: Inception's editing was done pretty well, alright.

Brian: The nominations for Best Makeup are for...

Fall of the Imperium

Pirates of the Alcadean: The Curse of the White Chest

Don Fierro

King Cappore Saseille

"Fallen, but not Forgotten" - Fall of the Imperium

"Green Valley" - Agents of Tegno

Charles: Indeed, it's quite the song!

Brian: Nominations for Best Picture are...

Fall of the Imperium

Agents of Tegno

Don Fierro

Lakehurst

AIN Wars

Jonathan: What did I tell you? I KNEW that Fall of the Imperium would be nominated! I just knew it!

Mary: Well, Fall of the Imperium was a given, but what surprised me was that Lakehurst was nominated; although I think it's a great film, I didn't think it was of Best Picture caliber. But then again, that's only my opinion.

Johanna: I kind of felt the same way.

Brian: The Best Sound Editing nominees are...

Pirates of the Alcadean: The Curse of the White Chest

Colossal earthquake in Ruteria

by Amy Higgins

A shot of one area of Merida taken from a Royal Grandian Navy helicopter

JUST OUTSIDE MERIDA, RUTERIA- Disaster! A 9.3 earthquake hit Ruteria earlier today, knocking out nearly all communications. According to the latest reports from the Grandian and Malonese militaries, who were the first foreigners to arrive to help (being already stationed in Ruteria), among many other areas the historic 400-year old Zocalo district has been flattened. Also, the Tomb of the Blessed King Juan IV of Ruteria, who died in Grand earlier this year, was reported to have collapsed, as was first reported by members of the Ruterian Royal Guard, and confirmed soon afterwards by Grandian jet planes surveying the area, which were based from the GNS Victory, anchored off the Ruterian coast. The rest of the Royal Palace appears to have survived the earthquake relatively unscathed, fortunately.The Victory, like most of the Grandian naval fleet, was anchored on the east side of Ruteria, and in deep water, and so survived. However, two Grandian patrol boats, who had passed through the Bahatla Canal to patrol the part of the Ruterian coastline still held by rebels, have gone missing since the tsunami hit their area minutes after they were issued a warning to leave; search efforts are underway. The earthquake, one of the largest in Adonian history, has left at least 20,000 people missing, including well over 6,000 Grandians, with the number expected to rise over the coming days.. Preliminary estimates show that the earthquake was so powerful that it may have shortened the length of the day by 1.26 microseconds and shifted Adonia's axis by 8 cm or 2.7 milliarcseconds. Precise GPS measurement taken by Grandian troops indicates that the telluric movement moved the entire city of Mérida 10.002 meters to the west. It is estimated that Ruteria's territory could have expanded by up to 1.3 km² as a result. Other nations have pledged assistance, but the nations of Troix and Greater Morsco, which would have provided a great deal of help, have been tied down because of a devastating earthquake which has caused an estimated 90,000 deaths in Greater Morsco alone, and pummeled the coastlines of both nations with a massive tsunami. Fortunately, the tsunami from the Ruterian earthquake will not cause much, if any, damage to Troix, as it will be only 15 centimeters high when it reaches that nation.

Rupert Apatax, our chief Ruterian correspondent, who was in the Communications Tower when it fell, and who would have otherwise reported on this earthquake, is currently missing. Some people have drawn a connection between this event, the earthquake that devasted Troix and Greater Morsco, and the ancient Mutir prophecy that supposedly predicted the end of the world; however, the available authorities dismissed any such connection as a coincidence. As of the time this article was written, a large detachment of Malonese troops was dispatched to the district of Txalapa, one of the most affected areas. More on this story as it develops.

Election Season is here!

by Samuel Hendrickson

Logo of the Elections

FRANCISTOWN, GRAND- Yup, it's that time of year; time to prepare to elect the new USNW government! The election season was officially opened a couple of days ago by the incumbent Executive Secretary, K. Smith of the Provincial Republic of New Chandler, who also announced his intentions to run for Chancellor. Charles Brown, the incumbent First Minister, from the Kingdom of Posillipo, also announced his intentions to run for the same office. Soon afterwards, Daniel Emperor, the incumbent Minister of Defense, from the Imperial Federal Kingdom of Grand, Belluterra, and Malo, decided to run for the office that Charles Brown is vacating. Kurt Smith, who is NOT relatedto, nor is he the same person as K. Smith of New Chandler, and is from Posillipo's commonwealth, the Commonwealth of Shayden, is running for the office of Executive Secretary. Off the topic of the Executive Offices, Emperor Daniel is also reportedly planning to run for a second term as Minister of Defense.

Ruteria is transforming!

by Rupert Apatax

Flag of the new Republic of Ruteria (above), which will replace the older, Monarchist flag (below)

MERIDA, RUTERIA- After weeks of protests in the Ruterian capital over the ongoing civil war, the monarchy, the problems with drug cartels, the government's handling of the devastating earthquake which took place a few weeks ago, and other such things, Her Majesty from Ruteria, Queen Monica I, has agreed to step down as Queen of Ruteria, ending her tenure as the youngest head of state in Ruterian history, and the last monarch of the Kingdom of Ruteria, which has lasted for centuries. However, due to a treaty signed earlier, she will continue to govern the Ruterian dependency of Linestecia on the other side of the Dacian Ocean, which will be granted sovereignty as the Independent Kingdom of Linestecia. The fate of the other Ruterian dependencies is as follows:

- The Territory of Zac Nicte, mostly situated along the coastline of the polar continent, Arktici, in the far north of Adonia, will be jointly administrated by the Independent Kingdom of Linestecia and the Republic of Ruteria.

- The royal palace-island of Scotlia, lying in the Alcadean Sea not far off the Posilliponian coastline, will be handed over to the Kingdom of Posillipo, although Queen Monica will continue to administrate it as an autonomous province.

- Any remaining Ruterian control over New Panutra will be relinquished, putting it under the complete control of Posillipo.

The fate of the State of Catlunia, which borders the Insulonian province of Andalusia to the north and the Kingdom of Mallano (which is not a USNW member state) to the west, is currently unclear, with reports variously stating that it will be handed over to Insulo, Mallano, or, according to some rumors circulating, it will have its independence restored. For the benefit of those who don't know, the two territories at the very westernmost tip of the Southwest Althena subcontinent, Catlunia and Andalusia, were created earlier this year, when the Republic of Insulo, with backing from a few other USNW members, staged an invasion of the Principality of Andalusia, titled Operation Firestorm, to prevent further official discrimination against ethnic Insulonians, which had the result of removing Andalusia as an independent nation from the map, and dividing it between Insulo and Ruteria, who were the primary victors in the war.

The interim Ruterian government has requested that, for the time being, 1) All embassies in Ruteria be closed by January 14; 2) All foreign relations be frozen by January 16; 3) All borders will be closed from the 19th to the 25th of January; 4) The Ruterian Delegation to the International Assembly must withdraw before January 19th; 5) All Ruterian ambassadors to other nations must leave by the same date; 6) All foreign troops and naval vessels must be out of the country by January 16.

The last requirement is going to cause plenty of trouble for Ruteria's two Brother-Countries the Imperial Federal Kingdom of Grand, Belluterra, and Malo, and the Utrovan Empire, as the two countries have well over 100,000 personnel stationed in Ruteria (mostly because of the Civil War), but have only a week to withdraw every single member of their militaries in the country. More on this story as it develops.

Scuffle breaks out in International Assembly

by Samuel Hendrickson

The International Assembly Building in New Chandler

NEW CHANDLER CITY, NEW CHANDLER- Earlier today, during voting on the subject of the proposed United Forces Bill 2012, a brief fight broke out when, after claiming that a "literal brawl/fist fight" was about to break out in the International Assembly, one of the delegates from Troix suddenly took off one of his shoes and threw it at the outgoing First Minister of the USNW, Charles "Chip" Brown, of Posillipo. Mr. Brown quickly ducked to avoid the shoe, which was then caught by Mr. John Marshall, the Grandian Representative to the International Assembly. He then threw the shoe at a security guard with a baseball bat, who then hit the shoe out of a window, breaking it, while Mr. Brown pulled out a knife (reportedly a simple butterknife) and hurled it at the Sanese delegate who threw the shoe, saying "Take that pooca".

The knife slightly injured the delegate, who then loudly proclaimed "food fight!" and took a banana from his briefcase. He then chucked it into the air, aiming at no one in particular, while most of the Grandians in the hall started pulling raspberries out of their pockets and throwing them at anyone and everyone, including each other. It was around this time that a raspberry was thrown at the outgoing Chancellor of the Union, Jon Clarke, of the Republic of Insulo. Fortunately however, the raspberry failed to strike him. Then, all of a sudden, a high-ranking corporate official, who was possibly working for the airline SaverJet, ran into the room with a toy airplane, and then broke off one of the engines, throwing it at Mr. Marshall. Marshall quickly ducked to avoid the incoming engine, which then hit the Sanese Representative, who was about to throw the aforementioned knife back at Mr. Brown. Most likely, it was because of being hit by the engine, toy though it was, that he completely missed the First Minister, the knife instead glancing off one of the walls of the Hall and falling to the ground harmlessly.

Around this time, Kurt Smith, the Shaydenite Representative and the current Executive Secretary-elect, entered the room, but was quickly stabbed by another banana that someone threw, and fell to the floor unconscious, due to his allergy to bananas. Mr. Marshall then decided to sit down in the middle of all the confusion and eat some hamburgers, but he didn't get very far, as another Representative, apparently from Rheinland, one of the Union's newest members, ran up and clubbed him in the head with a few very large sausages, just as the corporate official, who remarkably hadn't been arrested yet, broke off another engine from the toy and again threw it at the Grandian Representative. However, once again, the engine missed him, and then struck the Sanese Representative yet again, just as he was proclaiming the beginning of a "real fist fight".

After the Sanese delegate hit the ground again, some of Mr. Smith's aides sent out a "super" computer virus which was intended to infect all the computers in the city, but as it turned out, not a single computer was affected by the "attack". Moments after this, Mr. Smith woke up, and then immediately left the Hall, obviously not in the mood for being struck by another banana. Almost as soon as he had left, Mr. Matthew, the New Friscian Representative, walked into the room, and as soon as he had done so, everyone stopped fighting, although the First Minister tossed a firecracker out of the broken window a few minutes later, which then landed harmlessly in the gardens below.

All together, the fight lasted only 6 minutes, or 12 minutes if the explosion of the firecracker is counted as the true end to the fight. Weapons & "weapons" involved were: 1 shoe, 1 baseball bat, 1 knife, >2 bananas, an unknown quantity of raspberries (estimated to be in the lower hundreds), several fists, 2 jet engines, 2 hamburgers, 3 large sausages, 1 "super" computer virus, & 1 firecracker. Official responses to the brawl have varied, from Troix (followed by Grand) dismissing their Representatives, Genryoku Akao (Troix) and John Marshall (Grand) and replacing them with Shinchiro Sekai (Sanese MP for Sekigahara Prefecture) and Daniel Emperor (current First Minister-elect), respectively, to the Ruterian Delegation lamenting their disappointment in finding that the other delegates were not "high-class formal people", to the statement of the corporate official (who shall remain anonymous), who, when asked if he knew why the brawl started, simply stated "Because awesome."
