Gamblour.

Yeah, I'd agree with that.

Also, filling out my list, I'm amazed at the amount of debuts:

Away From Her, Control, Gone Baby Gone, King of Kong, Michael Clayton

Also, don't forget for Visual Effects: Sunshine, Across the Universe, 300, Zodiac

Any suggestions for trailers?
WWPTAD?

Yes, that does not sound like supporting.

If you put an actor in the wrong category, we can count him/her in the correct category (as long as you're not doing that intentionally). If you realized you've misplaced an actor, just contact your counter.

Even though it was a shortened version of the scene in the movie, the simple fact that we hadn't heard of Cloverfield when we first saw the trailer is enough to nominate it.  Not to mention that it upstaged Transformers.

And someone hinted at it before but are the fake Grindhouse trailers eligible?

which one of the mods wants to make a call on frownland? if its a 2008 movie (which i think it should be cos it didn't see theatrical release until this week) then i'll start lobbying for it for the 2009 xixax awards. either way, everybody see frownland!

What about if we need an extension? I won't be at a computer until Monday.

Won't say exact, but it's a very disappointing turn out so far.
