Jonathan: In addition to Charles and Johanna, several of the directors, actors, and other such people from the films that made it into this festival are also in attendance.
Brian: Hi!
Jonathan: This is Brian Skarr, who is going to be our special announcer, who will announce the nominees for the categories, after the judges have decided on who will be nominated. 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
AIN Wars
Mary: AIN Wars' use of makeup for the portrayal of many of those different alien species, in my opinion, was excellent!
Jonathan: Indeed.
Brian: The nominees for Best Original Score are...
Fall of the Imperium
Agents of Tegno
Where in the World is Anokan?
Don Fierro
King Cappore Saseille
Johanna: The score of Don Fierro was so great! I'm really happy to see it nominated!
Mary: Me too!
Brian: Nominations for Best Original Song are...
"Fallen, but not Forgotten" - Fall of the Imperium
"Green Valley" - Agents of Tegno
"The Cassidites" - Don Fierro
"Return" - Lakehurst
"Death to Cappore!" - King Cappore Saseille
Mary: "Fallen, but not Forgotten" is one of the best songs with lyrics that I've ever seen in a film!
Jonathan: I agree, and I would be quite surprised if it doesn't get a Francis Award.
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
Inception
Agents of Tegno
2011
Don Fierro

Brian: The nominees for Best Sound Mixing are...
Fall of the Imperium
Pirates of the Alcadean: The Curse of the White Chest

Pirates of the Alcadean: The Curse of the White Chest
Agents of Tegno
2011
Lakehurst
