AMPS 2024 - Winners!

 



If you've been following this blog for the past few weeks (although I don't see why you would considering I rarely post anything) you should know that I've been holding votes for my fictional Awards for Motion Picture Services awards, the earliest of three sets of film awards in my fake country and the one that has the most outsider participation. Back in December I continued the tradition of having people vote on the final Best Picture nominee, and then when the New Year's came on I introduced the final Best Picture lineup and held a vote for the Best Picture winner

The actual AMPS award winners are generally announced on January 15. However, yesterday I was busy watching real-life Oscar contenders Flow and The Brutalist so I didn't really feel like doing all that writing (because the latter movie was so brutal). So now I'm here to present the winners, including which film that you courageous voters picked to be the AMPS choice of Best Picture for 2024.

AMPS Best Picture Nominees and Vote

 

It's the New Year! Well, it's actually a couple days into the New Year, but it's good to know everything's already going to shit! Of course New Year's is also when I closed the voting for the final Best Picture nominee in the Academy of Motion Picture Services (AMPS), a fake award to honor fake movies that I make up for my fake country. And while voting was very close, one film did end up coming out to take the title. Which one was it? Well we'll find out after the break, along with the other four films with pre-ordained slot.

And just like last year, when I held a vote to determine what would win Best Picture at the AMPS, I'm doing the same this year, since as I had mentioned I didn't spend all that much time thinking about my fake movies. So after introducing the five competitors I will be embedding another survey form SurveyMonkey where you can vote for what you think should win Best Picture! Voting will go until January 14!

Anyways, in case this is confusing, here are the Best Picture lineup from previous years: 2023 2022 2021 2020 2019 2017 2016 2015 2013 2012 2011 2008

Also the usual disclaimer

YOU HAVE NOT SEEN THESE MOVIES
NOBODY HAS SEEN THEM BECAUSE THEY DO NOT EXIST
THESE ARE MOVIES THAT I MADE UP
BUT DON'T LET THAT STOP YOU FROM VOTING
