So glad now that I point-bombed the ACT OF KILLING talks show, as only 7 points separates 20 from 12 in Scene. Normally, my point distribution is all 10s, and I have done 19 and nine 9s. This time, based on the fact I didn't even have to think what I thought was Best Scene of year, I decided to go with 28 and nine 8s, and that pushed it into the Top 20.
Yay, me.
And yay, ACT OF KILLING, as I imagine this will be its only appearance.
Gravity over Computer Chess? I expect better from this group...
Pretty sure Act of Killing will make another appearance, probably in the film category. I voted for another scene myself (Anwar reenacting murders with a wire), though I think there are a few better scenes from that picture upon further consideration.
