Really glad about Pan's, a little surprised Babel is absent, not that I miss it really, and even though I haven't seen it I thought Little Children would appear somewhere, at least Kate Winslet.

Did many ppl cheat and voted for INLAND EMPIRE? And by cheat I mean you we didn't see it.

[Derek237]

Wow, I'm very happy and suprised about Carmen Maura. I figured I'd just put in her name and hope for the best...didn't know she would get enough votes. Awesome!

And could we please just call it a day and have a 4-way tie for supporting actor and have Baldwin, Wahlberg, Arkin, and Carell all win.

INLAND EMPIRE up for best trailer? Shows how far a little goodwill and wishful thinking can carry, I guess.

[polkablues]

INLAND EMPIRE: The movie so good that we don't even need to see it to shower it with awards.

[last days of gerry the elephant]

Wow, I'm really happy about the best DVD release category.
It will be interesting to see how that one unfolds.

vote six moral tales!

[Gamblour.]

Happy about the Fountain and Pan, sad about Adriana Barazza and Little Children. And what the fuck, no love for Last King of Scotland? You're right, Clive Owen's suck performance in Children of Men was better than Whitaker. I was fine with these, but that actually really pisses me off now that I've realized it.

[Chest Rockwell]

Sad to see Marie Antoinette only managed with a cinematography nod.

[modage]

Sad to see Marie Antoinette only managed with a cinematography nod.

it would've also managed a Best Trailer nod, but was disqualified because the teaser was actually released in 2005. 

[ᾦɐļᵲʊʂ]

Thanks to everyone running this and doing all the organizational work.   

[Jeremy Blackman]

I voted for INLAND EMPIRE (in pretty much every category) two days before I was able to see it, and I regret nothing. 

[Kal]

Can any of you INLAND EMPIRE fanatics tell me how can I arrange to see this mysteriously-great film?

I cant find anything on how to see it and after all the bla bla from David Lynch I thought it would be available for purchase online for his members... NOT.
