Hmm...Im a little confused on how the nominations work?

Looking at the Lip Sync thread...there are quite a few videos that didn't even get nominated in there. Like...14 if I counted correctly. I know that the Lip Sync nominations were pretty sparse, but there are about 7 videos that got 1-2 nominations that didn't make it into Round 2. For the most part those new 14 videos fit but...I love 'Im a Kitty Cat' to death but Sakamoto doesn't even have a mouth. I've seen a couple of cases in other categories where a video got to round 2 over a video with more nominations.

So can someone clear this up for me? I assumed the only factor of getting to round 2 was number of nominations, but it seems like that isn't the case. Did I miss something?

Uh.... The threads are just to promote videos you think others should look at when making their choices. People actually voted on the VCA page on the main site, just like this round - the 20 with the most votes made it into the semis.

Since when is a mouth required for lip sync?

Huh, I just noticed - my Japanese People Flacking is in best no effects. I'm not entirely convinced it should be there - it has A LOT of masking that was required for lipsynch... :sweat:

masking out mouths shouldn't be considered an effect as long as there isn't any rotoscoping.

That one is iffy, but aside from that there are tons of text effects...
