2017 Cosmique Movie Awards schedule

We're excited to announce that nominations are almost open for the 2017 Cosmique Movie Awards!

For much of the Cosmos' history, we've followed the Academy Awards' schedule in order to allow Cosmo voters to use the Oscars as inspiration. When they announced their nominees, we opened our nomination process. When they announced their winners, we announced our nominees.

Some voters complained that the schedule was too rushed. They didn't have a sense of what to see until the Oscar nominations were announced, and they didn't have a chance to see enough before the Academy Awards ceremony (much less a week before when we had to close our nominations). And some were even further inspired by watching clips at the Oscar ceremony itself, when it was too late.

Last year we experimented by giving voters more of a lag time so that they could catch up on more end-of-year great films that weren't available on DVD or streaming services before the Academy Awards. Unfortunately, the calendar got away from us and it wasn't until almost Autumn before we were done.

So this year, our calendar will follow the Oscars' schedule but with more of a lag time. Our nominations will open on the day of the Academy Awards ceremony, and voters will have a month to complete their nomination ballots.

2017 Cosmo Calendar

• Sunday, March 4, 2018 - Cosmo nominations open
• Saturday, April 7, 2018 - Nomination ballots due by midnight PDT
• Saturday, April 14, 2018 - Cosmo nominations announced. Final ballots open.
• Friday, May 4, 2018 - Final ballots closed.
• TBD - Winners announced

Ch-ch-changes!

Every year -- okay, some years -- we have some seasonal variations that reflect cinematic trends that might be more of a fad for that year. A few years ago, we added a one-off award for films set in San Francisco. Last year, we revived the Best Cameo Award that had been discontinued years ago.

This year, we're going to have three on-off awards. To make room for them, we've decided, perhaps controversially, to let the "Worst" awards lapse. In recent years, many voters have skipped over the Worst categories. With online trailers, Rotten Tomatoes ratings, and social media word-of-mouth, voters have more resources than ever to prescreen and only see the films they're likely to enjoy. So for now, at least, we're going to let those awards peter away.

In their place, here are three one-off awards for films released in 2017:

• Best Cameo in a 2017 Film - A cameo performance is a brief appearance or voice part of a known person in a work of the performing arts, often unnamed or appearing as themselves. These roles are generally small, many of them non-speaking ones, and are commonly either appearances in a work in which they hold some special significance (such as actors from an original movie appearing in its remake), or renowned people making uncredited appearances, or are unexpected in that the celebrity is more renowned than the part would require. Short appearances by celebrities, film directors, politicians, athletes or musicians are common. A crew member of the show or movie playing a minor role can be referred to as a cameo as well, such as Alfred Hitchcock's frequently performed cameos.
• Favorite Female Empowerment Film of 2017 - In the wake of the first major party’s female nominee’s Electoral College defeat against one of the most openly misogynistic candidates ever – despite garnering a higher popular vote than any white man ever – 2017 showed the emergence of a new women’s movement. It began with the recording-breaking women’s marches in January and reached a crescendo with the toppling of Hollywood, Wall Street, network, and Beltway titans as women spoke out about long-term, pervasive sexual harassment. And now in 2018, a record number of women have filed to run for public office. Perhaps coincidentally, since films can take so long to plan, produce, and release, a wave of female-empowering films also came out in 2017 – films depicting women in or acquiring power, with agency, or advancing the rights of women.  
• Best Soundtrack or Score of a 2017 Film - While the Academy Awards are very strict about how they define a score – and an original score at that – we’re much more flexible and are really just interested in which films had the best music. This award is for the film with the best music or score, which can include lyrical songs and/or a purely instrumental score, and can be original music or music/songs repurposed from older music.

A note to voters

Remember, the Cosmique Movie Awards are a chance for you to make your opinion heard. Pissed that Wonder Woman got shut out of the Academy Awards? Honor her at the Cosmos. Oscar-bait films not your thing? We have awards catering to action/adventure, horror, sci-fi/fantasy, and other niche genres. Didn't see much in 2017? There's a lot available on streaming, but you can also focus on the Lifetime Achievements if you want to focus on old movies and classic film stars.

Need inspiration? Here are some downloadable to help you remember what you saw in 2017 and let you know what we think are "buzzworthy" for each award:

Moonlight and Hidden Figures Battle Out for Top Cosmo Honors

Both win four Cosmos, with Moonlight winning Best Film of 2016

Moonlight and Hidden Figures battled it out for top honors at the 2016 Cosmique Movie Awards, each winning four awards, more than any other films. Moonlight took home awards for Best Film and Best Director along with Best LGBTQ Film and Best Young Actor (Alex K. Hibbert), while Hidden Figures won Best Dramatic Film, Best Historical Film, Best Actress (Taraji P. Henson), and Best Script.

See the full list of winners.

Other top acting winners included Best Actor winner Andrew Garfield for Hacksaw Ridge, Supporting Actress Viola Davis for Fences, and Supporting Actor John Goodman with a surprise win for 10 Cloverfield Lane.

Vertigo was inducted into the Lifetime Achievement Hall of Fame. It was previously nominated for Movie With the Best Background Scenery and Most Effective Use of a Song or Background Music at the first Cosmos, winning neither.

Other Hall of Fame inductees included Rosalind Russell and Paul Newman for the Best Actress/Actor Halls of Fame, and Teri Garr and Richard Pryor for the respective Comedic Halls of Fame. Russell was previously inducted into the Best Comedic Actress Hall of Fame in 2006, making her the only actress to be inducted into both. Robin Williams was inducted into the Best Actor Hall of Fame in 2014 and the Comedic Hall of Fame in 2010, the only other person to achieve induction in both.

Other top 2016 winners with three wins each include Deadpool (Best Comedy, Favorite Heroic Male Character for Ryan Reynolds, and Best Superhero Film), La La Land (Best Musical and well as Actor/Actress’ Character You Would Most Like to be Intimate With for Ryan Gosling and Emma Stone), and Rogue One: A Star Wars Story (Best Visual Effects, Best Cameo for Carrie Fisher, and Best Male Villain for James Earl Jones, Spencer Wilding, and Daniel Naprous as Darth Vader).

The three actors co-winning Best Villain are the first joint acting awards issued in the awards’ history, though not the first joint acting nominees. (Darth Vader previously received co-acting nomination at the first awards, and this year Peter Cushing and Guy Henry were also co-nominated for depicting Grand Moff Tarkin in Rogue One). In non-acting awards, Valerie Faris and Jonathan Dayton previously co-won Best Director for Little Miss Sunshine.

In addition to her Best Cameo win, Carrie Fisher was also posthumously recognized as the co-subject of the Best Documentary win for Bright Lights: Starring Carrie Fisher and Debbie Reynolds.

Check out the complete list of 2016 winners.
