Hi folks!
In past years I've created a fun poll called the "Disney Oscars" where we can vote on the best of the best from the year in Disney movies. I took last year off because in addition to the pandemic, I was going through my own struggles: my partner of 8 years had his cancer get much worse. He passed away in March, and dealing with all of his health struggles before, during, and after his death left me with no energy for most things. But I'm happy to bring these back once more!
For background: I cover the Oscar season for an entertainment website. And one year I thought I would combine my day job with my nerdy love of all things Disney (especially since many Disney movies these days don't necessarily align with Academy members' tastes). The Disney Oscars were born!
Round One is selecting the nominees! Please click on the link below to complete a survey where you can vote for the nominees in our 7 categories. Voting for nominations will be open until December 30th. Once I tally the votes, I will announce the nominees and release a second survey to vote for the winners. (This will hopefully happen on 12/31, but since it promises to be a busy week at work, it may get pushed by a day or so). I know some of you played along in years past and enjoyed doing the preferential ballot for Best Picture (the same method the Academy currently uses), but unfortunately we will NOT be voting that way for Best Picture this year. Apparently, Survey Monkey has made "ranked choice" voting a paid subscription feature, and she does not have money to be throwing at Survey Monkey. So its a simple "choose your favorite 5" vote.
I know this isn't specifically LGBTQ themed...but since the Oscars are the gay super bowl, I figured it would be on brand for many of you =)
Have fun, happy voting, and may the best Disney film win!

VOTE FOR THE NOMINEES
I'm not surprised about the Eternals. It wasn't bad, but it was overly ambitious with trying to give storyline for so many new main characters at once. It got better towards the end though. I am very interested to see how they will be incorporated into this new Marvel phase. Best Film category was a tough one!! From the 6 that were given, I got it down to Cruella for being the best live action remake Disney has done, Encanto for being the best animated, and Shang Chi for being the best Marvel. But then took a good 15 minutes debating myself between the 3 hahaha. I'm very interested to see what votes end up being at the end of the month!
