AP Movie Awards - NOMINATIONS Thread

[ForlrnPerplxity]

All you have to do is nominate up to 5 movies per category. Any nominations in a category that exceed 5 will be discarded. You don't have to nominate movies in every category, and there isn't a minimum number of movies you can nominate. I will keep this thread open for nominations until the end of the week on Sunday at 11:59 pm eastern. This thread isn't for voting on the final categories. Voting will begin on the following Monday and will last up until Friday at 11:59. Winners will be announced on the following Saturday (the day before the Academy Awards). If you have any questions, just ask them in here.

Here are the categories:
Best Picture

Actor in a Supporting Role
Actress in a Leading Role
Actress in a Supporting Role
Animated Feature Film
