"Avatar" paired. Those discs are JAMMED into those sleeves!

Why isn't Babylon 5 in the Poll?

Why isn't Babylon 5 in the Poll?

Because it didn't receive enough nominations to get onto the list?

These titles were nominated by the membership over the last 3 weeks.

What is on this list are the titles that received the most nominations. Looking at my list, Babylon 5 only received one mention compared to multiple mentions of the titles listed here.

The nomination topic seemed to be limited to 4K releases.
I was the person who mentioned the Blu release of Babylon 5 (and I thought there were responses/likes).

Maybe the title of this poll should also mention 4K (since apparently those are the only releases that matter).

David, the fault is mine for not being very specific with the category.

The Best and Worst discs were specifically geared toward 4k. It would have been a lot more work for me to compile answers if I had included Blu-ray, and at the moment, 4k is the premium format so I went with that.

The packaging and studio polls should have included both formats. After all Warner Archive doesn't release 4k products and yet they received one of the most nominations. I would have gladly accepted packaging nominations for Blu-ray releases in addition to 4k -- but I didn't make that clear.

If I do this again next year I'll make the necessary adjustments so I'm more clear on what formats should be considered for each category.

I personally don't hate the Dial of Destiny SteelBook art, but I do hate the giant scratch gouged across the front cover of the copy the Best Buy associate handed me, which was of course the only copy within 250 miles of my location. Not sure it's fair to vote for that reason, though.

Why is JFK nominated here? Looks like the traditional poster art on that to me. Does it have something to do with the way the discs are stored inside?

Packaging was wasteful considering all it held was 4 discs (no book, no lobby cards, or such like you'd get in an Arrow release, for example): it's a sturdy cardboard slip with three plastic disc cases. It likely added $10-$20 to the MSRP, without adding any extra value.

The US edition of The Exorcist has such a laughably bad cover, I was compelled to order the UK release with the poster art and all the supplements intact.

The Exorcist 4K packaging was so bad...in fact, I was going to a fan event right after the 4K came out and I was gonna have Linda Blair sign it, but then I thought--nah. She signed this instead:
