Best Debut Film: LITTLE MISS SUNSHINE (Jonathan Dayton & Valerie Faris - Dir.)
THE NOMINEES
Brick - Rian Johnson - Dir.
Half Nelson - Ryan Fleck - Dir.
Little Miss Sunshine - Jonathan Dayton & Valerie Faris - Dir.
Thank You For Smoking - Jason Reitman - Dir.
V For Vendetta - James McTeigue - Dir.
Not to slag on either of those movies, but five years from now, Fleck, Dayton, and Faris will be directing episodes of "Law & Order" while Rian Johnson shares a Xixax forum with Fincher, Aronofsky, and Soderbergh. I'm not saying I'm bitter, but yes, yes, I am bitter.
agreed. this was the one category where i was really disappointed. i can't believe that Half Nelson sneaked ahead of Brick. i don't remember everyone talking about that earlier last year, i think everyone must have rented it and thought it was gritty and confused performance with film. or it could've been the late swell of Brick-lash. oh well. a year ago we were all in love though, werent we?
i also wish Monster House and Mission: Impossible III could've lost this category too.

AM I RIGHT PEOPLE??
yes. prove me wrong dick kelly. rian johnson has yet to show any promise.
I agree with Xixax only here.
i rented half nelson expecting a great performance and got more, i got a great movie. the way this film combines the inner experience of his main character with his sorroundings, and organically links his personal life with his environment and sociopolitical condition it's a lesson for all the "pursuits of happyness" in this world,,,....-.-mn
