Introduction

As those who are my friends on Facebook, or follow me on Twitter know, in December I am gearing up for my annual film awards (The BAM Awards), and that only partially explains my recent reposting of all past winners.

Since these are picks made by one person, the nominating process is even more important. Aside from the the past years, the full slate of nominees from all years past was no public knowledge.

This is because essentially the first time I did them, in 1996, I created them by myself for myself. At the time, I knew a lot less about how these decisions are made, campaigning, the year-end barrage of contenders and the like, such that the releasing of the Academy Award nominees was even more frustrating. Rather than just bemoan it I decided to create an award slate based on what I had seen.

Back then I was ticket stub pack rat, at the time it was the only way to track anything. So I created the list, picked winners and printed it out. The fact that I stuck with hard copies and no back-up created issues, however, it was just for me at the time.

I called them the BAM Awards because I needed a name. I suppose I came up with Bernardo Academy of Movies because I was being reactionary to The Academy. How one man by himself can be an Academy I didn’t fully consider. I thought it was kind of a silly name even at the time so eventually it just became BAM.

Slowly, the awards widened: soon I emailed a select group of friends (that created eventual storage issues), a few years ago when I was on the Site That Must Not Be Named I decided to really take it public. I didn’t think about it ahead of time, it just occurred to me roundabout late November of ’09 that I could.

The publication was an exciting and unnerving process regardless of how many or how few people would actually care to see them. While there are a two categories (which I now and again consider ending, and have skipped on occasion) which are negative, it is a positive emotion that brings me to these announcements. I want to at the end of this period of time share what I thought an why, and all winner announcements come with some explanation, and I do belabor them and struggle with them.

So it is heartening that last year, for the first time, the actual honorees, be they nominees or winners, on occasion acknowledged it. Now that may seem like a self-aggrandizing statement, but what I liked was knowing the news reached them and other people and they were pleased to hear it. The design of these awards are to cement what performances, works and films most affected me, I make no bones about that, and sharing that felt like a gamble, but it’s been rewarding for that and many other reason.

Of course, if you see a film missing from any year you may inquire, and there is room for intelligent discourse, but the above statements are true: trolling or disrespectful comments aimed at who was chosen won’t be tolerated. Your own awards are just a blog post away.

I apologize for even needing to insert that statement but I did have cause to make similar points last year. Anyway, with how much I enjoyed last year’s and how much I’m looking forward to this year’s awards, I thought it’d be a good idea to put all I have out there in a “reverse” countdown.

So here goes…

2004

Part of the the purpose of these reposts (aside from the obvious promotion of the forthcoming announcements) is a preservation effort. These are lists I’m transcribing from
printouts. When I started sharing these it was first via email, which I’ve never been great at saving. In fact, the impetus behind the my upcoming year in film 2003 post was the fact that I somehow lost those nominations entirely and had to jog my memory to include the winners on the running lists. 2004 also has a slight fragmentation. Somehow there’s no Best Actor nominees just a winner. Alas, these need posting before I lost anymore. This was an interesting year.

-Kill Bill films combine for 16 nominations, including 11 for Volume 2

-Harry Potter leads again with 12

-Mean Creek wins 4 of 6 including Best Picture

-Only 4 Supporting Actress nominees including Meryl Streep’s first.

-As you will likely notice this post will stand out from the others. I never have been able to hold on to an electronic back-up of this year, and lost track of a hard copy. From memory I have been able to recall some of the winners. There are other factoids I can recall but this is the most I guarantee. -Much like 1999, this was a year dominated mostly by one studio (Universal) on the strength of 2 films. -8 Femmes, much like they did at the Cesars, had many a nomination but a sole win. -2003 marked the first expansion of categories in years. -Tim Robbins wins second Supporting Actor Award -Peter Pan ties Artificial Intelligence: A.I.‘s win total. -Enjoy the winners. 2004 will have more nominees but is still missing some information.

Introduction

Slowly, the awards widened: soon I emailed a select group of friends (that created eventual storage issues), a few years ago when I was on the Site That Must Not Be Named I decided to really take it public. I didn’t think about it ahead of time, it just occurred to me roundabout late November of ’09 that I could.

Anyway, with how much I enjoyed last year’s and how much I’m looking forward to this year’s awards, I thought it’d be a good idea to put all I have out there in a “reverse” countdown, a count -up if you will.

So here goes…

2002

-This year features some revisionist history I was able to successfully reverse. There are two categories with only three nominations, which in revision mode I filled out to 5. I was able to trim it back to three, thus making it back to what it was 10 years ago.

-In another revisionist note, this was the first year where I started splitting the screenplay award in the year where I wrote them. I did when I revised the past awards create both categories from 1996-2001. This was the first time I did it live.

-Lagaan was the first film that was nominated for Best Picture only.

-In one of the quirks of the BAM system, Hugh Mitchell who had small roles in both Harry Potter and Nicholas Nickleby, earned two nominations, and one win, for being in both casts.

-Harry Potter is Lucciesque anew setting a new nomination record, Star Wars takes the most trophies.

-This was another year that illustrated that I needed not only equality in categories, but also a top 10 or more list because there are many great films this year not in Best Picture.

-Comedic performances are prominent once again.

-Nicholas Nickleby is another multiple actors in same category film.

Winners are in BOLD and pictured.

I didn’t think about it ahead of time, it just occurred to me roundabout late November of ’09 that I could.

Anyway, with how much I enjoyed last year’s and how much I’m looking forward to this year’s awards, I thought it’d be a good idea to put all I have out there in a “reverse” countdown, a count -up if you will.

So here goes…

2001

-With A.I. sweeping through these awards this marks the pinnacle both of Haley Joel Osment’s four-year run in the Young Actor category, and of Janusz Kaminski’s run through the awards. Each is the winningest in their own field.

-Melanie Griffith joins the ranks of those who have won both Supporting and Leading Actor trophies.

-A Partilha is the first film to have three performers nominated in the same category.

-A.I. wins 10 awards in 11 nominations, the most awards and highest success rate to date.

–Harry Potter begins its rather Lucciesque run racking up 9 nominations and one win here.

– I don’t watch too many made for TV movies, but they are not verboten in these awards. This year features one of the rare occasions they break into a positive category with Snow in August.

-Here again you see the need for equal categories between mature and youth performers.

-Until recently I had forgotten that Zoolander passed largely unnoticed due in part to its release occurring shortly after 9/11. The underrated nod affirms that notion.

-This was likely the first time I toyed with the notion of US Release dates. In this year The Wide Blue Road (1957) played for, what I perceived to be, the first time in the US. I made it eligible. I likely won’t stretch that far back ever again, but it did start me looking at US debuts more closely.

Winners are BOLD and pictured.
