I would also love to be a judge if you need it!

I' m with you. I'll try and give whatever time I can slice out of the day.

I wouldn't mind being a judge. Hope that secret ballot goes my way.

2 days remain, folks.

19 entries so far, with a whopping 523 recommendations!

Number of nominees - 179.


The secret ballot starts Sunday night.

Not bad- we only have to eliminate 79.

Well, the secret ballot is underway and 6 ballots have been casted in so far.

No prizes for guessing who is leading the race for #1 choice for the Judge, and the rest are pretty evenly spread in a 12-judge race right now.

And, to add, the final entry before the deadline came from Fortunato who sent in a 51-man strong list. I ll be adding them up to the master list and underlining the obvious choices, before putting them in order for the Judges to review each choice.

This is going to be a compilation to cherish. Further developments to be reported as they continue to happen...

All ballots have been casted in.

The list of Judges to preside over this Top 100 list will be announced tonight. Until then, keep your fingers crossed! ;)

So suspenseful!

Ladies and Gents of HDC...

I can't WAIT! Thanks for the votes all, I'm excited to hear what the real experts on the judging panel have to say.

Indeed, I'm very honored to be chosen. Thanks to all who cast votes for me.

The negotiation process should be very interesting.

PMs have been sent.

The Judges will be intimated tomorrow about the compilation and a place to share their collective opinions.

Well done all of the judges! I can see this list is in good hands.

Thanks for the votes, everyone who voted for me, and for putting me in such good company.

thanks everyone for your votes.

i'm honored to be in such great company.

here's a little poem i wrote for the occasion:

i can't wait
to deliberate.

congrats....

This info is for the Judges :-

As per the PMs you have received, the complete list of nominees stands posted for your attention and analysis. Kindly go through the list and start voicing your opinions in the posted thread.

***Update***


All 8 judges have assembled together and busy deliberations of the Top 100 will begin from this weekend.

Hopefully by next week, choices will be made...and the list might be up by next Sunday. Keep an eye out!

Good to hear about the progress. I cannot wait till the final 100 is up.

**Bump**

Ahem...Your Honors...:p

***Update***


Well, now that deliberations have begun and Judges are busy with decisions and criticisms, comes a rather significant development...


One of our esteemed Judges (as chosen by HDC's secret ballot) has decided to opt out of the judging process because of prior commitments and lack of time...


He is our own Sean Keller aka Roderick Usher.


This is his message for all HDC-ers and other Judges of the panel :-

"I can't do this one

I'm slammed and am going to be slammed for at least three more weeks.

Sorry, I appreciate everyone's vote, but I simply have to bail on this gig."



Bit of a blow for Sean's fans here at HDC...anyway, the deliberations and judging continues between all the other panelists.

Shame coz he knows a lot about the side of the film industry that involves the real people. Well, I'm still sure the rest of the judges will do a great job.

BTW.....Thank you to anybody who voted for me..........I won't let you down...I shall try to do my best...







um........you people do realize that I'm a buffoon....don't ya?

Hmph. Back in my day, we judges had to walk 40 miles to a cabin uphill in the snow just to deliberate.

dude....I thought you were coming back FULL TIME......what gives?

Well, Robin Hood gives to the poor...

Still waiting on you, Flayed. :cool:


Update for you folks - The judges have been having some serious debates regarding the nominees, and as of right now, 40 names have been finalised for the Final 100 compilation.

They are busy thinking over 11 newly passed names right now...and deliberations continue.

More to come soon...keep watching this thread for developments.

ya know......when I was voted in as a judge.....I really thought there would be free beer and snacks at these debates.

we get nothing....not even cookies and milk:mad:

Great going guys! Take your time for the rest 60(lot to go!). We know the bests will come out finally.:)

***Update***


The chosen number is now 51.

There are so many points to discuss, criticize, argue, COUNTER-argue...heck no wonder its taking a while. We are currently into the last legs of the journey of deliberations, and with any luck, the final 100 is all set to be finalised by Wednesday next.

Proof-reading and unanimous agreement, and the Final 100 list will be up by next weekend!!

Nice to know, mateys. Have some beers and keep going at it!!

yeh. Take your time to get it just right!

Jesus Christ! Hurry up people! :p

any progress??

We're debating fine philosophical points!

Yes, we are up to 68 now.

Between judges getting busy, and a lot of debating and arguing, I think we ll be stretching this a bit longer. I know I promised the list will be up by this weekend, but things are looking like they will stretch into next week, most probably next weekend.

Deliberations continue...I am seriously hoping that the final 100 will be up before we start voting for the HDC Awards 2008.

It's all for the best.

What is the latest on this project?
Seems like an eternity since I sent in my list.

We are almost into the last leg of our deliberations...I think that within the next 2-3 days we should reach our 100.

I promised you this weekend, and you will have it. :)

Fantastic! I can't wait any longer:)
