Welcome to my nominations for the third 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 year honestly was one of the hardest! 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. Last year I established that I could add one extra nominee to one category per year and this year that went to the Best Actor category. Winners will be announced Jan 20th! So enjoy the 2020 Buttered Popcorn Movie Awards!
