Welcome to my nominations for the first annual Buttered Popcorn Movie Awards! I absolutely love award season but often find myself disagreeing with certain nominations so I decided to make my own award show to share my opinion. I was amazed with just how difficult some of the choices I had to make in the process of making these nominations so please try and understand if your favorite isn't on this list, this is strictly my opinion and I do not expect everyone to agree with me, also remember that this is for fun so please don't take this too seriously. To give a bit of structure to the nominations I limited myself to 4 nominees for technical categories while for the more general categories I limited myself to 6. If you want to see the winners I will be posting both an article and video on Youtube announcing the winners on Feb 24th, so lets get to my nominees for the 2018 Buttered Popcorn Movie Awards!
