WELCOME BACK TO THE R/MST3K LITTLE GOLD FRUIT AWARDS!

Let me be frank about Frank the acting categories - there are four separate Little Gold Fruit awards that I'll be handing out when it comes time to announce the winners, and this now being Day 15 of the ceremony, I'm running out of creative energy for these cold opens. I'm not an actor, and the only things separating these categories are screen time and gender, so what's there to add?

Let's just cut to the chase - the same rules will apply for each acting category. In a nutshell, you're judging like you were yesterday (except with male performances instead of female performances), but do take the time to read the rules, nonetheless.

I WILL BE HARD ENFORCING THE FOLLOWING GUIDELINES:

• You will be required to submit your Reddit username. Why? Because this is a highly subjective category and I WILL be reviewing each submission to determine if it's a leading or supporting performance - and, thus, whether it's eligible or ineligible for the given award. I want to make sure everyone's voice is counted, though, so if you submit 1 or more performances that I deem ineligible, I will DM you and give you the chance to submit another performance in their place.
• You MUST list the film, the actor, and his role for each submission. If you list just the film, I won't know who you're referring to. If you list just the actor, I won't know which film you want submitted.
• You may only submit 1 performance per film. This will diversify the playing field when the time comes to select the nominees.
• All child performances are ineligible. At an awards ceremony where we're 'celebrating' the worst of MST3K Cinema, condemning people who were children at the time is cruel and unfair.
• All dubbed and voice-only performances are ineligible. In a category where we're judging both the physical and vocal elements of a single performance, it would be unfair to judge an actor in a non-English language movie who was poorly dubbed over by someone else. The only exceptions to this will be select performances from Manos: The Hands of Fate, due to the fact that all the voicework was dubbed due to being shot with a silent camera. If somebody’s voice matches the character they played, they’re eligible.

You have 24 hours to submit 5 MST3K films as nominees for the r/MST3K Little Fruit Award for Worst Actor in a Supporting Role via the linked Google Form. The top 5 most submitted films will become official nominees.

(OTHER) IMPORTANT GUIDELINES

• To decide whether a performance is leading or supporting, compare the length of their screen time to that of the other performers. This is what counts most.
• As always, you MUST submit nominees through the Google Forms link. Any submissions in the comments will not be counted.

That's all for today! See you tomorrow at 5:00 PM EST for the next day of the Little Gold Fruit Awards!

(P. S. - We're actually on day 17. In the words of Dr. Clayton Forrester, "oh, poopie.")

I was just watching Track of the Moon Beast. At the end Pearl doesn't want Brain Guy and Bobo getting along, and they start insulting each other. One I had completely forgotten:

Brain Guy to Bobo: Credit risk!

Was scrolling on reddit and this showed up. Immediately, I thought it was from this subreddit, but it wasn't. Now I share with you the famous/infamous...

I just watched Racket Girls. I am mystified. After all of the build up about Peaches, they didn't have her wrestle! Only practice! And even then she got punched a few times.

Blood Waters of Dr Z

This may or may not have been asked before. I was wondering if anyone has ever done a mash-up of different versions of riffs? For example, the MST3K, Rifftrax, and Cinematic Titanic versions of Santa Claus Conquers The Martians using the best riffs from each. It would be a massive editing project.

and Tom's follow up grunts are perfect 🤣

WELCOME BACK TO THE R/MST3K LITTLE GOLD FRUIT AWARDS!

What is there to say about actors that hasn't been said before? Whether their rolls are big or small, at least one will take center stage in whatever scene they appear in. More often than not, your eyes aren't glued to the whole image - rather, your eyes are glues to the actors. They're just as capable of making or breaking movies as directors and writers are. In the films you'll be submitting today, these actors, sadly, broke the movie.

Even though the Little Gold Fruit awards have 4 categories dedicated to bad acting, I must admit I have something of a sweet spot for 99% of the stars who appear in MST3K films. More often than not, you get a bad performance for reasons beyond the actor's control - ambivalent direction, nonsensical dialogue, and/or lack of training tend to contribute to this more than anything else. Nonetheless, based on your submissions I must nominate them like I nominate everyone else in the other categories - they, like so many others, are under the heels of incompetent directors, writers, and/or producers.
