A Madea Halloween Deadpool The Jungle Book The Legend of Tarzan The Purge: Election Year Deadpool Presented by Mike Spreter #2 Best Leadup to a Movie For elephants, it takes about 23 months.

But tonight, the five nominees for Most Purge-Like are: American Honey Bad Moms The Birth of a Nation Keeping Up with the Joneses Sausage Party Bad Moms Presented by Greg Fong #5 Birds [bird noise] Birds.

The nominees for Best Theater are: The Geneva Movieplex 8 - Geneva, New York The Metrograph - New York, New York The Regal Union Square Stadium 14 The Rialto - The Strand Theater - Old Forge, New York The Strand Theater from Old Forge, New York. :)

4 Presented by Mike Spreter #8 Best Brilliance Brilliance is defined as excellence or distinction in physical or mental ability; exceptional talent, splendour or magnificence. Though tonight s nominees in the category of Best Brilliance include both the best movie and the worst movie of the year, there s something they all share: they re not afraid to look like they re trying. The nominees for Best Brilliance are: Deadpool Fences Finding Dory The Lobster Deadpool Presented by Dasha Nekrassova #9 Best Supporting Actress Hello. Support. In Hollywood we have many words for it. Alimony. A carton of cigarettes sent to a rehab facility. A wonder bra. None of that applies to these five gifted women whose performances are in themselves a masterful definition of support. They are the foundation on which so much of their movies are built. So, in the category for Best Performance by an Actress in a Supporting Role, the nominees are: Bonnie Aarons in The Conjuring 2 Naomie Harris in Collateral Beauty Callie Hernandez in Blake Lively in Cafe Society and Kristen Stewart in Cafe Society Bonnie Aarons in The Conjuring 2 Presented by Andrey Goverdovsky #10 Best Movie Not from 2015 Movies have been going on for a long time, and I m not talking about Silence. And not all of the good ones could have come out in 2015, I guess.

5 The nominees for Best Movie Not from 2015 are: Bringing Up Baby The Broadway Melody Casablanca Notorious Rebel Without a Cause #11 Best Movie No One Has an Opinion About Each year, five tremendously neutral movies are nominated by their peers for their stunningly average releases. For some, this will be the last time their names are spoken out loud. The nominees for Best Movie No One Has an Opinion About are: Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them Finding Dory A Hologram for the King Hunt for the Wilderpeople Loving Middle School: The Worst Years of My Life Pete s Dragon Where to Invade Next Where to Invade Next Presented by Cally Robertson #12 Best Oscar We bury our sins. We wash them clean. These are the nominees for Best Oscar: Hacksaw Ridge Manchester by the Sea Moonlight Silence

6 SEGMENT: In Memoriam We take a moment to ommemorate the box office fallen of 2016 A.D. Presented by Andrey Goverdovsky #13 Worst Talking Frankly, my dear, I don t give a damn. You don t understand - I coulda had class. I coulda been a contender. I m mad as hell and I m not gonna take this anymore! You talkin to me? And the nominees for Worst Talking are: Captain America: Civil War Fences Fences Presented by Meghan s friend #14 Best Other Language Film Movies are like dogs. They want to console us when we re sad, and celebrate with us when we re happy. Sometimes they want to play ball when we re all out of energy. We don t always understand them - but the least we can do is try. Here are the nominees for Best Other Language Film: The Jungle Book Love & Friendship Love & Friendship Presented by Meghan Roche and Maura Mullally #15 Best Sounds We hear them every day. The rhythms in the canyons that will never fade away. The ballads in the barrooms left by those who came before. They say, "you gotta want it more.

7 So we bang on every door. The nominees for Best Sounds are: American Honey Arrival Everybody Wants Some!! Moana #16 Best Visuals People want to talk about how movies are shot. But Visuals are about a lot more than that. They re an unexpected breeze blowing through your open door. They re black water seeping through our flatscreen TV. They re a black fly in your chardonnay - and you drink it anyway. Because the best movies shoot back. The five nominees for Best Visuals are: Arrival Billy Lynn s Long Halftime Walk Mother s Day The Shallows Mother s Day Presented by Sophie Corra #17 Best Script Staring at the blank page before you. We ve all done it - opened up the dirty window to let the sun illuminate the words that we could not find. The men and women behind tonight s five screenplays did just that, and we re forever grateful. The nominees for Best Script are: Bad Moms written by Jon Lucas and Scott Moore written by Damien Chazelle Everybody Wants Some!! written by Richard Linkater Sully written by Todd Komarnicki So Long, Boulder City written by Mia Dolan

8 Bad Moms written by Jon Lucas and Scott Moore Presented by Michael Parada #18 Best Actor The ability to express emotion is the hallmark of a great actor. But the emotions you re not about to witness won t be acting. Trust me, I know. You probably remember how wimpy I was, too. The nominees for Best Actor in a Leading Role are: Joe Alwyn, Billy Lynn s Long Halftime Walk Ryan Gosling, Tom Hanks, Sully Blake Jenner, Everybody Wants Some!! Ryan Reynolds, Deadpool Tom Hanks in Sully Presented by Bridget Flower #19 Best Director Dreamers come in all shapes and sizes. Some dream of becoming teachers, salesmen, serious firefighters. Some dream of creating internert start-ups or running for political office. Some don t have any specific reason to dream. They just do. They dream of opening their own abstracting business and starting a family. They dream that they ll give birth to more dreamers, that the cycle will continue beyond them. With so many stuck in the past, we look to our dreams for signs of the future. Without further ado, here are the five dreamers nominated for Best Director: Fede Alvarez for Don t Breathe Damien Chazelle for Clint Eastwood for Sully Ang Lee for Billy Lynn s Long Halftime Walk Denis Villeneuve for Arrival And the Film Fun Award goes to: [Pretend to open an envolope or something] Damien Chazelle for Presented by Dasha Nekrasova #20 Best Actress

9 Rachel McAdams. Lindsay Lohan. Gina Carano. These are just some of the names of the amazing women who have graced the podium for this category in years past. At the Academy Awards, it s pretty rare for the winner of Best Actress to coincide with the winner for Best Picture. The last time this happened was in 2005, with Hillary Swank and Million Dollar Baby. Here at Film Fun we do things a little differently. The nominees for Best Actress in a Leading Role are: Amy Adams in Arrival Sasha Lane in American Honey Blake Lively in The Shallows Emma Stone in and Zhao Tao in Mountains May Depart Emma Stone in Presented by Mike Spreter and Keaton Ventura, co-founders of Film Fun #21 Best Picture Movies don t expect you to see them.

We want you to The nominees for Best Picture are: American Honey Arrival The Jungle Book Sully [CONCLUDING REMARKS] Just wipe up when you re done. And in case an Academy member asks, Yes, we were serious about all of these.
