I dunno, I think 128 is pushing it. Maybe you should make a list of nominees that have been proposed so far, pull out a bunch of your 51 automatic noms and add them to the list, and open it up for seconding. I'm pretty sure I'm not the only one who would prefer Bernard Herrmann over Walter Matthau.

 

[Rob Tomlin]

To have people like John Belushi and Elvis (and others) in this tournament but NOT Bernard Herrmann would be a travesty, in my ever so humble opinion!

Way to go Tomlin. Having trouble counting to one?

Since when do we have tourneys where you only get ONE nomination? Sheesh!

 

[Dome Vongvises]

When I get back from my weekend, I'm opening the floor to more nominations and seconding. Have fun while I'm gone.

 

[Dome Vongvises]

Alright, I'm opening the floodgates. Unlimited noms and unlimited seconding. Let's try to get every corpse in before the New Year.

I'll have the bracket made for the 2nd or 3rd.

 

[Rob Tomlin]

OK, so do I need to nominate Bernard Herrmann now, or what?

 

[Dome Vongvises]

Oh yeah, one more thing, you cannot second your own nominations.

Rob Tomlin's nomination is noted.

OK, I'll second Gregg Toland, as well as spell his name right. :p)
