AMPS 2022 - Winners

 


Well, we've finally come to the end of a long road. The fictional Awards of Motion Picture Services (AMPS) had happened on the night of January 15 in my fictional country of L World. It ends a journey that had started with my Best Picture Nominee vote that was posted three weeks ago and continued through to the Best Picture nominee announcement a little more than a week after that. In reality I had been coming up with these fake movies since January of 2022, not to mention one that had been planned for a couple of years now. While this is only the first of the three fake film awards for L World, AMPS has been the set of awards that had been made the most public, with me announcing the winners dating all the way back to 2000 (including 2020 and 2021 that was included in the aforementioned Best Picture Nominee vote.) I'm not sure if anybody really cares that much, but I might as well present the AMPS winners for this past year 2022. I'll only be listing the films for the technical awards while the acting and directing winners would be named.

AMPS 2022 - Best Picture Nominees


Well, it's past the New Year's, which means it's now officially 2023. It also means that 2022 is over, and we can fully look back at everything that had happened in the past year. Which in this case means we can look at the films that I made up that were deemed worthy of competing for the top prize in one of my fictional film awards, in this case the Awards for Motion Picture Services (or AMPS for short)

Last week I had picked out three finalists for a vote, the winner of which would take the final slot among the Best Picture nominees. And I want to thank you all that had voted in the poll. This is my 13th year of running these polls, and this was by far the most number of responses that I had in any of them. Of course, part of that was the fact that for most of the vote there were two films that were in a direct tie, which led me to seek out additional voters to break the tie. In the end there was one film that came out on top by just one vote, and that film will join the four other pre-determined films as the Best Picture nominees for the AMPS ceremony honoring the films of 2022, which will be presented after the break.

But first...here are the previous nominees that I had presented. (I skipped 2009-2010, 2014, and 2018),
2008 2011 2012 2013 2015 2016 2017 2019 2020 2021
