"Best Picture" Blu-ray.com Tournament - The Hurt Locker Region Round 1! Come Vote!! - Blu-ray Forum

CZAR · 03-03-2010, 04:33 PM

We are now underway for our 2nd official Blu-ray.com Tourney! This one is Best Picture Theme! The Hurt Locker Region! Same rules apply as the first tournament and u vote the same way as each film is paired in 2's and only one film will advance for each matchup. Just to be clear for some of those that dont follow march madness here is how it works. This poll will have 16 films but they are in matchups. So for example #1 seed Schindler's List is up against #16 Marty u only vote for 1 of those films to advance. U do that with every 2 films paired up and u choose 1 of each 2 paired because only 1 film from each pair will advance.

So its not 16 films head to head but they are in pairs head to head. Make sure u vote 1 film for each matchup. This will be opened for 3 days which is plenty of time to get your votes in. The winner of each individual matchup will advance to the 2nd round. Rememeber dont vote for the best 8 out of the 16 but do it on a matchup by matchup basis. If u have any questions feel free to ask!

Also this is not a best of or favorites matchup. I would say vote based on the overall take of the film u either feel is better or that u like better or a combination of both! Its up to u of what films to vote for and why. Make your vote count and please only vote 1 film for each paired matchup so that the voting totals come out correct. Below is the bracket link for this region just to make sure u understand what the matchups are. Here we go. Lets get this started!! Got Em!!

Based on the way I did the seeding, I don't expect too many upsets in the first round. Maybe some 9's over 8's, but those aren't really upsets.

Seedings are skewed somewhat toward IMDb ratings, which itself skews toward newer movies, and I expect, in general, newer movies to get more votes in the tournament.

Yo Jhiggy I am expecting a great showing by your fav movie Schindler's List! It didnt make the last tourney but due to formula and so fourth it got a great seed obviously and I am pulling for it..............unless it runs up against a film or 2 that I like better! haha! Got Em!!

the only two "upsets" in my voting was for Patton and West Side Story

How anyone can vote against it, idk.

This was very easy for me:

Schindler's List
Patton
West Side Story
From Here to Eternity
Ordinary People
The Deer Hunter
Rocky
Casablanca
