The Sexiest® Best Director

These are the nominees 

A Blank Canvas - Nikki Arlington.  (2:52)
Kidnapped - Barbiedoll Resident.  (5:45)
Succubus- Miss Emily.  (1:43:30)
Toys in the Attic - Thorgal McGillivary.   (5:00)
The Abduction of Alicia Haze - Adam Sin.  (21:27)


The best director usually mimics best film, and why? Because the director makes the film, more so then they do in Hollywood!! In SL the director is everything, camera man, director, lighting person, sound person, editor, writer, effects person and a list as long as my arm of other things!!!

How they change 3 out of 5 of these is beyond me and the preview movie is still here!! Now I can see if they want to spread the awards out and not give them all to the same person, but to not even have the nominees even close to the same in best director and best film???

How did Succubus get nominated in this category but not in best film you ask? Well apparently there were less movies submitted in this category and the judges for it had enough time to judge it. It's good enough for best director it should be good enough for best film!

Again, before the nominees were announced I fully expected The Abduction of Alicia Haze - Adam Sin.  (21:27)  and Creep - Thorgal Mcgillivary (4:40) (or whichever one of Thorgals movies he wanted to submit) to be SUCCUBUS, The motion picture (1:43:30) biggest competition in the category!! I did not expect a preview video to get nominated!!

And again, It's like comparing a cheetah to a domestic house cat... Succubus should win!!
I do hope the judges get it right when they hand out this award!!
**** Note, Serenity has nothing to do with this years awards, if she did I do think things would have been handled completely differently!! No blame goes to Serenity for any of this in my eyes!The Sexiest® Best Director

The Sexiest® Best Film

These are the nominees 

I my opinion the judges have really screwed this up!! I'm sure in these directors eyes they did not.

A Blank Canvas - Nikki Arlington.  (2:52)
Is a preview (teaser) of a movie Nikki had in the works to make but as of yet hasn't. There is no sex or even nudity in this, it's not even porn!! This would get a PG-rating and only because it shows a butt in a thong and for no other reason!! Wait until Nikki makes this a MOVIE before nominating it!!

Breaking in the new bed - Ayara -PĪИҚ- Sparta-Illios.   (4:47)
Artistically done, this movie is a Demo clip for a Warm Animations bed!! In other words IT'S A COMERCIAL and has no story of any kind!! If "Story" was any part of the judging criteria the judges completely failed on this.

Fuck you all the time - London Zane.   (4:59)
This movie also has no story and is more of a pornographic music video.

Night shift - Raelin Jestyr.  (4:30)

The Abduction of Alicia Haze - Adam Sin.  (21:27)
To me this movie stands head and shoulders above the other 4 and is clearly the winner!! Congratulations Adam!!

Before the nominees were announced I fully expected The Abduction of Alicia Haze - Adam Sin.  (21:27)  and Creep - Thorgal Mcgillivary (4:40) (or whichever one of Thorgals movies he wanted to submit) to be SUCCUBUS, The motion picture (1:43:30) biggest competition in the category!! I did not expect a preview video and a commercial to get nominated!!

I know October isn't from porn so she probably didn't know, but Emma is and she should have weeded out the movies that didn't belong.

I do hope the judges get it right when they hand out this award!! It would be so appalling if a preview A Blank Canvas - Nikki Arlington won this category!!!

Succubus was to long to judge in this category, for the winner of this award it has to loose some of it's luster knowing it didn't beat the best of the best (Succubus), they should rename this award to: The Sexiest® Best Film... Not Succubus.



All of you that have IMed me saying it is a conspiracy to keep Succubus from sweeping the awards and give one to Nikki, I disagree!!!
It's not a conspiracy it's just simple incompetence!!!
But thank you all so much for the support, it means so much to me!!!


**** Note, Serenity has nothing to do with this years awards, if she did I do think things would have been handled completely differently!! No blame goes to Serenity for any of this in my eyes!

Succubus, To Long To Judge

No Sexiest Film Nomination for Succubus!!!

This is the first time of over 100 movies I submitted any work for The Sexiest® Awards. With Succubus I felt I really had something worth nominating and could not be over looked!! I WAS SO WRONG!!

When I asked head Judge October Bettencourt of The Sexiest® Awards, why Succubus wasn't nominate in the category of The Sexiest®  Best Film, she said "To be honest, it was to long, the judges had to many movies in that category and just didn't have time to watch it". I thank her for her honesty.

The Sexiest® Awards are self proclaimed to be: "our Oscars". Could you imagine the Oscar judges saying "We're sorry your movie was to long to judge"? I know it's not Emmanuelle's goal to discourage people from making longer movies, but how can they leave out a movie because of it's length? Well, really it shouldn't be judged against the movies that were watched and were nominated! If you know anything about film making you know that a Feature Length film should not be judged against a Short Film. We don't go to the RL movies and pay around $10.00 to watch a movie 25:00 minutes or less. We go to watch something that can entertain us for an hour and a half or more!!

The movies nominated for The Sexiest®  Best Film
A Blank Canvas - Nikki Arlington.  (2:52)
Breaking in the new bed - Ayara -PĪИҚ- Sparta-Illios.   (4:47)
Fuck you all the time - London Zane.   (4:59)
Night shift - Raelin Jestyr.  (4:30)
The Abduction of Alicia Haze - Adam Sin.  (21:27) 

As you can see none of these films were over 22:00 minutes and Blank Canvas wasn't even the length of Succubus credits. These films fall into Short Film category at the RL Oscars.
 
SUCCUBUS, The Motion Picture (1:43:30)

Succubus is 1 hour, 43 minutes & 30 seconds long! It's like comparing a cheetah to a domestic house cat... it just can't be done and would be rediculas to even try!!

Succubus had 19 sets built for it, a cast of over 60, we completely changed how we did movies for this one, we had to preplan, preplan, preplan and we still found many things we hadn't planned on. Four months ahead rearranged my schedule to shoot movies so that I had something to release while Succubus was in production. Production took 3 months from adapting the script to uploading the full length version. Six weeks of filming 4 days a week on average of 4 hours per day (96 hours total). There was also 9 weeks of editing that took around 24 hours per week (216 hours). In between time was spent on set design, building and detailing. This movie had 50 minutes of nonsex scenes (ACTING) in it, not just ball riding. Six sex scenes in it of which all were longer then 4 of the 5 movies nominated!!!

So for that reasoning, I understand why October and Emmanuelle want to give Succubus The Sexiest®  Best of the Best Film award!!! Which I agree is only right!!!

Thank you both very much!!
