Fan Edit Of The Year (FEOTY) 2020: and the WINNERS are...!

[lapis molari]

@lapis molari is combination fanedit basically a fan-mix?

Yes. See e.g. the FEOTY 2019 Combination category, which had three entries that each combined multiple movies into one.

 

[lapis molari]

/\ @Malthus , does that make you the strongest faneditor?

Fan Edit of the Year - Thor: Odinson? by @Malthus (Only one that I've seen, but it's also just very well made)
Best TV to Movie Edit - Star Trek: Let the World Slip by @The Warlord (Combining unrelated episodes of a show to tell one story is just an amazing concept that I've thought about a lot, and here is a good example of how it can be done)
Best Extended Edition - Star Wars: Revenge of the Sith - Expanded Edition by @Bobson Dugnutt (I love Star Wars, and I love seeing what the deleted scenes can offer. Extended edits of Star Wars movies seem to be rare, so this was a surprise to be sure...but a welcome one.)
Best Short of the Year - Groucho Marxist by @doggo moon (This edit cuts a ~2 hour movie down to 45 minutes without feeling like anything is missing, and that is worth celebrating)
Best Combination - The Night of Samhain by @LastSurvivor (These two movies are unrelated, but they share similar themes and concepts, and when assembled like this it's really made clear how well they complement each other)
Best Fan Edit by a New Editor - Groucho Marxist by @doggo moon (I just really love this edit)
Best New Fan Editor of the Year - @Malthus (Malthus is an awesome person who I've come to really like, I'm happy to have him as a part of this community)
Fan Editor of the Year - @Bobson Dugnutt (Bobson has made so many edits, it's very impressive and inspiring)
Best Cover Art of the Year - The Night of Samhain by @LastSurvivor (This cover art is a family affair, assembled by LastSurvivor with the art itself drawn by his wife, there's something special about that. Covers made from modifying poster art or promotional art and whatnot can still be nice, but to have new art drawn just for this is especially cool, and it also just looks really nice)
Paradigm Award - Omen Revelations by @bionicbob and @LastSurvivor (I love edits that combine multiple movies in unique ways, which this does, it's just really cool. I'm not sure if Bob helped edit or if he just helped with ideas, but in any case it's awesome to see his name on a new edit. Collaborative work is awesome and can provide very interesting ideas that you wouldn't necessarily see in a solo effort)

@jrWHAG42 thanks so much for the kind nominations... always feel humbled when anyone goes to the trouble of writing a review for any of my edits, let alone nominate them
Both of the edits you mention are special ones to me, and I tell you right now, my wife will be ecstatic that you liked the cover art she did for Night of Samhain. I loved what she did for that, and I want to try and get more original art from her for future projects.
In terms of Omen Revelations, Bob did not do any "physical editing" as such. However, we worked closely on this by sending videos to one another, skyping, and he came up with loads of suggestions in how to make this edit work. So I feel it's fitting that he's credited as co-editor. Thanks again

Fan Edit of the Year - Thor: Odinson? by @Malthus
Best New Fan Editor of the Year - @Malthus (Malthus is an awesome person who I've come to really like, I'm happy to have him as a part of this community)

Thank you Jr and thank you too @mnkykungfu. It's a real honour to get a nomination. This community has been an oasis of calm in this very uncertain world and it makes me really happy knowing that I've been a positive force in it for others. I guess what I'm saying is maybe the real fanedits are the friends we made along the way.

Thank you for nominating me!

 

[CourtlyHades296]

I nominate Rise of Skywalker: Resurgence by krausfadr for paradigm award. When a community comes together for ideas, innovation in fanedits end up happening. The way the OT.com community fed each other ideas led to this innovative Rey Nobody edit that might be the best TROS edit so far.

 

[The Scribbling Man]

c) "Best Extended Edition" - I nominate @Wraith for his Alien Covenant Extended Cut.

👋 Hi there.

THIS IS THE FINAL CALL FOR ENTRIES!

Submit your (remaining) entries today!

 

[Wakeupkeo]

Been watching a ton of edits and a lot that I would nominate have already been nominated! I can't wait to begin voting! Here's my final noms:

I nominate @Bobson Dugnutt for h) "Fan Editor Of The Year" - so many "extended editions" offered up this year to the fan-editing community, its nuts really.

Cover Art - can I nominate more than one? There are so many good ones! Maybe others can nominate more in the last moments since we don't need to watch the movie for that category...

My Cover Art nom is for "Finest Hour: A Supercut of Dunkirk and Darkest Hour" by @eldusto84 . I'm a sucker for great graphics.

( If I can nominate more in the Cover Art category, "Driver (A Drive 2011 edit)" by @Malthus and "The Man Who Knew Too Much: The Scribbling Cut" by @The Scribbling Man )

 

[It'sOnRandom]

Adding a nom to my list:
b) "Best TV to Movie Edit". Mr. White by @ItsOnRandom definitely deserves to be in the running. Solid work here, I really enjoyed this one.

Thank you so much I am honoured that you think this edit is good enough for you to nominate it for a best TV to Movie edit.

Hi

I can't see where to submit votes anywhere...

 

[lapis molari]

@Wraith , each category has its own page (we can only fit one poll per page).
They're in the Front Page News section and each page title starts with "Vote For FEOTY2020“, e.g.:

[lapis molari]

Here it is! The moment we honor our faneditors and their amazing work!

 

[lapis molari]

While Covid got us stuck in a 'Groundhog Day' loop where it was sometimes hard to remember the day of the week, our fanediting blossomed. All those hours being stuck at home, plus the comfort and sanity of familiarity and steady progress while working on our edits, has yielded an exceptional list of fanedits. Here are the results of FE's 2020 Fan Edit Of The Year awards:

FAN EDIT OF THE YEAR

Winner: Blade Runner: The Penultimate Cut by TM2YC

Runner-Up: Finest Hour: A Supercut of Dunkirk and Darkest Hour by eldust084

BEST EXTENDED EDITION

Winner: Ghostbusters II- Time is But a Window by Bobson Dugnutt

Runner-Up: Star Wars: Revenge of the Sith - Expanded Edition by Bobson Dugnutt

Special congratulations to @Bobson Dugnutt for being both the winner and runner-up in the Extended Edition category! You are the undisputed master of extended fanedits!


BEST SHORT OF THE YEAR

Winner: Groucho Marxist by Doggo Moon
