It's that time of the year again.

After Ms OOT 2017 ended without a winner worthy of being stickied, Ana de Armas has reigned at the top of OOT for a record two years. However, it is now time to crown a new queen.

Nominate deserving candidates in this thread by posting recent pics and brief info (e.g. their name).

Closing date for entries is midnight on 22 December US Eastern Time (so 23 December at 5 am GMT). If any repechage rounds are required they will be held over Christmas and the main competition can start over new year.

The following candidates are ineligible:

People who were in last year:


and previous winners:
2005: Catherine Bell
2006: kinda got sidetracked, but Jessica Alba was more or less running away with it, or not depending on whom you ask
2007: never happened
2008: Emmanuelle Chriqui
2009: Kate Beckinsale
2010: Minka Kelly
2011: Alison Brie
2012: Scarlett Johansson
2013: Amber Heard
2014: Alexandra Daddario
2015: Emily Ratajkowski
2016: Ana de Armas
2017: Gal Gadot

Traditional criteria for candidates are hotness, notability, relevance and attainability. Candidates must be female - a Mr OOT may be held at some point in the new year.

Good luck to all the contestants. Get nominating.

I nominate Danica Patrick.

Hotness:





Notability:

She's been famous since 2005 when she started racing IndyCar. She is the most successful female driver in the history of open-wheel racing. She made it known to women everywhere that they can be competitive at the highest levels of racing.

Relevance:

She retired from professional racing this year after the Indy 500. She is dating Aaron Rodgers. She owns a handful of businesses and she is active in philanthropy.

Attainability:

Her attainability is through the roof. To date Danica, all you need to do is quote Dumb & Dumber.

Talulah Riley

Can already tell 2018 > 2017

Nominate Martha Higareda.

Relevance:

Lead actress on acclaimed Netflix series: Altered Carbon

And apparently being brunette.

I nominate Anna Kendrick. I suck at posting pictures but her relevance remains obvious. I also nominate Alicia Vikander.

These two should be in the finals.

I feel like Ms OTT peaked 2011-2014ish, and I feel like it's becoming harder and harder to come up with 16, let alone 32, good contestants.

That said, I'm good with simply following Howard's lead here. It's too late for Natalie Portman, but Alicia is a worthy successor. And ever since her first appearance on Craig Ferguson in early 2010, before her fame blew up, I will continue loving Anna

Sorry this is the correct list of who was in last year the one I posted in OP was just a preliminary version:



Vikander is ineligible unfortunately.

Perhaps the longer nomination period will help find someone we'd like to sticky. I thought about suggesting a drop to 16 contestants but I think 32 is better as more people can see their nominee get in and nominees 17-32 often attract some banter. Also there had to be a repechage last time round even with 32 spots available.

The main problems with Ms. OOT 2017 were Suncreamgate and Ambrosiogate and that put a downer on the whole thing.

Damn. My bad on Vikander. Let me see if I can think of a suitable replacement.

Dammit Howard, if you don't nominate the woman you mentioned just the other day pretty soon, I'm going to have to steal it from you.

Megan Fox should be slotted into 2007. 2018, who's Leo DiCaprio with nowadays?

Margot Robbie

Margot lost to JLaw in the Final Four of Ms. OTT 2014. She followed this up in 2016 by getting 82% of the vote the group stage, 71% in the Sweet Sixteen, 69% in the Elite Eight and 77% in the Final Four, before losing to the long-since forgotten Ana de Armas in the Finals by less than 2.5%.

This is bull ****. Where are all the IG models with the huge butts? Bunch of olds in OOT probably don't even know how to get on the internet.

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez

Camila Morrone, maybe?

That would be a tad too predictable for my mood today. I’d like to come up with something better.

Meh, seems like Vikander, Robbie, and Kendrick have been in the contest 5 times each. Obviously they're all very attractive and the most relevant, but imo I think the contest works better at finding freshly relevant girls (starring in a Netflix series, blew up on IG, slaying Congress, etc.). Maybe I'm in the minority on this.

I second AOC

Really think this competition needs some new faces. It feels like the same 20 something women get nominated every year or every other year. I think unless there is an absolutely overwhelming reason a past nominee deserves another chance, we should try to nominate all new people this year.

Sure Robbie, Jlaw, Vikander, and Kendrick are all hot, but they've had their chances when they were far more relevant than this year. Certainly there are hot women out there who deserve to be nominated that we have overlooked until now?

Dude's pony is slow AF. He has great opinions tho

Ariana Grande

Nominate Karen Gillian
