Doesn’t sound bad. 10 votes for 10 names not in the Hall of Fame at the moment regardless of field for each of us and then we can add a number of winners there.
Thats sort of the idea. Hopefully everybody who deserves to be enshrined eventually does.
Yes great idea. This way it adds some credibility to the voting system. I don’t want people to simply vote for Joe Schmo. We should make an effort to really think about who should be there. The only question is one of protocol. How should we proceed and what is an acceptable format?
Hey guys. Voting time is gonna start soon. But first, as per Phil’s recommendation lets do a nomination round first.
First I have to lay down some ground rules:
- Nominations are not votes and do not count as such.
- Everyone on this board is entitled to one nomination, and only one, regardless of category.
- Please don’t nominate someone who’s already in the HOF. Here is the link to last year’s enshrinees: SWDB Hall of Fame - The Spaghetti Western Database
And this year’s: http://www.spaghetti-western.net/forum/index.php/topic,2340.msg116255.html#msg116255 - After I collect the first 10 Nominees, there will be a vote with everybody voting for two of the 10 nominees regardless of category.
- There are 6 main categories: Lead actors, supporting actors, actresses, directors, composers, non participant/other crew. Please keep this in mind and think very carefully on who to nominate, remember you only have one!
- The non participant other crew category can include members of the spaghetti western film crew that don’t fall under the main categories, such as costume designers and prop manufacterers and also historians, website owners, authors, scholars, critics, observers etc…
I will give boxing day Dec. 26 as the deadline to give nominations. Remember first come first serve, the the first 10 will be accepted only. Although I could give some leeway on this.
Remember, only one per forum member, and it does not count as a vote and is a separate process from a vote.
Let the nominations begin!
Well, as I already said before, I think Frank Braña should be in the Hall Of Fame. He’s been in about 60 westerns, including most of Leone’s and plenty of other classics, as well as plenty of trash.
If you don’t know him by name, I’m sure you’ll recognize his face, or at least his eyebrows.
e2a: his category should be supporting actor.
Thanks Cochino for providing our first nominee for 2012. In the supporting actor, category, Frank Brana.
In the meantime, I am going to finish writing the bios for the 2011 inductees, sorry for taking so long.
Director
GIUSEPPE COLIZZI
1925 (Rome, Italy)- August 23, 1978 (Rome)
He made only three Spaghetti Westerns in a comparatively sporadic career, yet each of the three instalments of the “Cat Stevens” trilogy were massive hits, making Colizzi one of the highest grossing Spaghetti Western directors ever while making stars out of both Terence Hill and Bud Spencer. Starting out as an assistant director in the late 1940’s, and later as a production manager of which his credits include Federico Fellini’s Il Bedone (1955), Colizzi would also publish several novels. It was his first Spaghetti Western however, God Forgives, I Don’t (1967), of which he also co-wrote the screenplay , that would land him major prominence. The film was a massive box office hit in Europe and was the first ever pairing as leading actors for the legendary duo of Hill and Spencer. Colizzi would go on to collaborate with the pair on two equally successful sequels, writing, producing and directing Ace High (1968), which also starred Eli Wallach, and Boots Hill (1969) of which he also contributed creatively to the soundtrack. Outside of the western genre, Colizzi would direct just three more films, including another Hill and Spencer collaboration, All the Way Boys (1972). He went on to be the director of Rome’s first private Television channel and was working on a script for a fifth Hill and Spencer collaboration before death took him prematurely in 1978.
i want to nominate Tony Anthony in leading actor category
if i didn´t overlook something, he´s not in HOF
Anthony contributed to the genre with great Stranger series and Blindman
so he certainly deserves place in the Hall
There are a few I’d like to nominate but as I only have one I will continue my ongoing campaign to get Richard Harrison elected.
I’ve voted for Harrison every year so far and my reasons remain the same. A large body of work that stretched throughout the life span of the genre, Harrison was there right at the beginning and was still headlining Spaghettis a decade later. Moreover, despite making a few turkeys by the end of his run (but then didn’t everybody?) his performances were always consistently solid and he managed to appear in a few very memorable films. Standouts for me being Vengeance and One After Another.
My nomination is in the director’s category: Giulio Questi
Would like to nominate the old hand of the supporting actors -

Absolutely agree with tomas, Tony deserves a place in the hall. As a Blindman, he has created one of the best spaghetti western heroes ever.
José Bòdalo (supporting actor category)

Another Bio for you all. Only two more to do!
2011 Inductee
Composer
Gianni Ferrio
November 15, 1924 (Vizenza, Italy)-
In career spanning over 60 years, Ferrio has well over 120 credits to his name as a film composer and television. Working as a conductor, arranger, and composer, Ferrio provided scores for a total of 27 Euro-westerns, many of them box office hits starring Giuliano Gemma, including One Silver Dollar (1966), A Man Called Sledge (1970), A Bullet for Sandoval (1969), Don’t Turn the Other Cheek (1971), Ben and Charlie (1971), Death Sentence (1968), Tex and the Lord of the Deep (1985), Find a Place to Die (1968), California (1977), Wanted (1967) and Fort Yuma Gold (1966). Outside of the western genre he was the composer for films from a variety of genres and directors, but mostly comedies. His other film work includes I Fidanzati (1963), Tony Arzenta aka Big Guns (1973), Death Ray (1967), Death Walks at Midnight (1972) and The Bloodstained Butterfly (1971). He was a favourite of director’s Duccio Tessari, Michele Lupo and Georgio Ferroni. He has also performed in concerts with the Rome Symphony Orchestra and has written several hit songs in Italian Pop, collaborating extensively for Italian songstress Mina and Brazilian Singer Marina Moran.
Thanks for the nominations guys. These are all great names.
I would personally like to nominate director Sergio Garrone
So far we have:
Leading actor: Tony Anthony, Richard Harrison
Supporting actor: Frank Brana, Jose Calvo, Jose Bodalo
Director: Giulio Questi, Sergio Garrone
I’ll accept 3 more nominations, but I’m willing to be flexible if more come in.
I’m thinking we should induct the top 5 vote getting nominees. Is everyone okay with that?
Mmmh, tough to choose just one person to nominate ; on one hand I said I’d nominate Giuseppe Vari this time around and I certainly think he deserves a place on the Hall of Fame, but on the other hand I just can’t believe Luigi Pistilli hasn’t been inducted yet! And there’s a few others I think deserve a nomination, like the Romero Marchent brothers, Lou Castel, Woody Strode, Daniela Giordano and Jean-François Giré.
I’ll try to decide today, in the meantime, would someone please nominate Luigi Pistilli? Hehe.
[quote=“Col. Douglas Mortimer, post:593, topic:2068”]I would personally like to nominate director Sergio Garrone

I would personally like to nominate Peter Lee Lawrence in the Leading Actor’s category.[/quote]
I thought you said just one nomination per person, Colonel! 
LOL I just noticed that! I was gonna nominate Peter Lee Lawrence than I chose Sergio Garrone instead and forgot to erase PLL. So PLL will have to wait till next year to get my nomination. I’m sticking with Sergio number 4.
One more Bio to go!
Romolo Guerrieri
December 5, 1931 (Rome, Italy)-
Guerrieri is not only accomplished as a director, assistant director and as a screenwriter. Afterall, making films is in his blood. Born Romolo Girolami, he is the brother of Marino Girolami, as well as the uncle of actor Ennio Girolami and director and fellow SWDB hall of fame inductee Enzo G. Castellari. Starting out as an assistant director, he served in this capacity for three early (uncredited in one) Spaghetti Westerns, including Minnesota Clay (1964). Perhaps eager to break out of his family’s shadow, he began directing films using the last name “Guerrieri” instead of his birth name. He helmed three Spaghetti Westerns as a main director including Johnny Yuma (1966), which he also co-wrote. He also directed a highly regarded classic of the genre, $10,000 Blood Money aka $10,000 for a Massacre (1967). The film marked Gianni Garko’s very first role as a lead protagonist in a western and is regarded by many to be the finest of the unofficial Django sequels. He also co-wrote the box office hit, Any Gun Can Play (1967), directed by Enzo. Besides westerns, he also directed the Giallo, The Sweet Body of Deborah starring Carroll Baker, and the Euro-crime classic, Young, Violent and Dangerous aka Young, Violent and Desparate (1976), starring Tomas Milian.
