Hey everyone, Jack Drees here! In a world where everything gets cancelled, I refuse to join in on that tradition! I want to remind my viewers, including the 50 plus followers who have dedicated their time toward this blog, that one of my big yearly traditions, which has occasionally been hanging in the balance, is still on. BY THE WAY, thanks for 50 followers, you all rock! I want to remind you all that the 3rd Annual Jackoff Awards is happening. It won’t be cancelled, and it is going to likely going to take something completely catastrophic to keep the show from happening. Examples include but are not limited to: An asteroid plummeting the United States, a government-wide Internet or movie ban, or my eventual death and I don’t find a heir to take over Flicknerd.com.

For those who don’t know about the Jackoff Awards, this is an annual event where I reflect on the movies of the year and celebrate the achievements of the filmmakers behind said year. And trust me, 2020 could use some celebrations at this point. I reference all the movies I saw, regardless of how much I enjoyed them. I share some comedy bits, related videos to some portion of the entertainment industry, for the past couple years I’ve been doing Film Improvements, which I plan to have another edition of when winter rolls around. I’m planning on altering the rules to adjust for the pandemic. Mainly, I want to make sure that certain movies that were going to play in theaters that DIDN’T play in theaters, but still came out in some way, will get their fair share. For example, in the United States, “An American Pickle” came out on HBO Max as an exclusive, but before that release, it was scheduled to premiere in theaters. Therefore, that movie is eligible for a Jackoff nomination. I also want to point out that the way we do Best Picture will also depend on how people watch movies by the end of the year. Are there enough films getting attention? We’ll have to see what happens, but this may be a different kind of ceremony than usual.

The 3rd Annual Jackoff Awards is officially set to come out sometime during Winter 2021. There is no official release date yet as it will depend on whether I hit a target number of movies I want to see, or if there is an important movie that I don’t want to miss out on. For those of you think I am not committed enough to pull off a Jackoffs show during a pandemic, here’s a trailer to suggest otherwise!
