And that's all, folks! Thanks so much to everyone for another tremendous nomination round! Even though it was a smaller group of us, we did put together quite an amazing list of immortal classics, and I hope more folks who participated in earlier rounds will come back to vote, maybe even watch some of the nominees, I believe they're all freely available on YouTube and such.
Round 1 starts on Monday, August 7! So we have about two weeks to catch up with any of the titles we might've heard of or that sound interesting, or to rewatch Metropolis again for the tenth time!
Some stats:
Number of nominations per year:
- 1920: 6
- 1921: 3
- 1922: 7
- 1923: 6
- 1924: 10
- 1925: 11
- 1926: 7
- 1927: 8
- 1928: 15
- 1929: 7
Directors with multiple nominations:
2
Alfred Hitchcock: Blackmail; The Lodger
Carl Theodor Dreyer: Michael; The Passion of Joan of Arc
Cecil B. DeMille: The King of Kings; The Ten Commandments
Fred Niblo: Ben-Hur: A Tale of the Christ; The Mark of Zorro
G.W. Pabst: Diary of a Lost Girl; Pandora's Box
John Ford: 3 Bad Men; The Iron Horse
Paul Leni: The Cat and the Canary; The Man Who Laughs

Buster Keaton: Battling Butler; Seven Chances; Sherlock, Jr.; Steamboat Bill, Jr.; The General; The Cameraman; Our Hospitality
Not that it matters, but I believe that four of the Buster Keaton selections are co-directing efforts.
Right.
Thank you, Mae
A beautiful list and one I have some catching up on to do!
So is 1921 officially the year with the least amount of nominations in the tournament with just three
Yes, the previous low in other decades was six in 1930 (and before that 9 in 1952).
Metropolis deserves to be the winner.
We'll see. I'm sure it will go really far and it would be a great pick, definitely.
