Voters making selections in their own branch categories list only film titles on their ballots, not the individuals responsible for the various achievements. For that reason, as well as for reasons of printing time and convenience of using this pamphlet, full credit rosters are not provided for the listed films. An exception to the above exists in the four Acting categories, where simply listing titles would not provide enough voting information. Actors Branch members filling out their Nominations ballots must indicate both titles and the particular performers they are voting for. For that reason, the Reminder List provides a listing of up to fifty cast members for each film. Pictures eligible in the Animated Feature Film, Documentary Feature and Foreign Language Film categories are also eligible in the Best Picture category, provided they meet the qualifications for the category. Foreign Language films are eligible for awards in other categories provided they meet the requirements of Awards Rules Two and Three.

  • The Types of Reality Shows by Kristin Harris
    Harris 1 Kristin Harris Instructor’s Name ENGL 1013 Date The Types of Reality Shows These days, there are countless reality television shows airing on countless TV networks. To some people, these reality shows might all blend together. However, not all of these shows are the same. There are four basic types of reality shows: the dating reality, the celebrity marriage reality, the gaming reality, and the culture fusion reality. One of the most common types of reality shows today is the dating reality. These shows usually take one person and present him or her with a certain number of possible mates to choose from. On each show, the bachelor or bachelorette usually eliminates a certain number of contestants. At first, because of time limitations, the bachelor or bachelorette will most likely base his or her eliminations on beauty and sex appeal. However, when the number of contestants dwindles and there is more available time, the bachelor or bachelorette may look deeper into the hearts of the contestants and then try to test whether certain contestants will actually follow through with a relationship. This type of speed dating usually does not result in a relationship that lasts more than a month after the show is filmed. One example of this is when Who Wants to Marry a Millionaire? contestant Darva Conger was picked to marry millionaire Rick Rockwell on live television. It turns out that they were never legally married on the show and were never legally married after the show. The two are not together anymore, and their breakup was highly publicized.
