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.
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.
INLAND EMPIRE: The movie so good that we don't even need to see it to shower it with awards.
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!
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.
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.
Thanks to everyone running this and doing all the organizational work. :yabbse-thumbup:
I voted for INLAND EMPIRE (in pretty much every category) two days before I was able to see it, and I regret nothing. :yabbse-grin:
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.

Thanks for that?
i thought/was hoping l'enfant would get a little more recognition.
Upset with the Oscar results? Then take out your frustration and show them how awards are supposed to be done.
Send in your vote for the 2007 Xixax Awards by Thursday!!!
Happy with the Oscar results? Then copy them and send in your vote by Thursday!!!
Happy or disappointed with the Razzies? Well, then... there's nothing we can do about that.

Tomorrow Is The Deadline!
REMEMBER, this is the FINAL VOTE. if you don't get your ballot in, we don't want to hear your complaining about the results! i think we have a great batch of nominees and it seems to be a pretty close race so far. even if you havent seen ALL the nominated films, i'm sure you've seen at least one of them so take 5 minutes and GET YOUR BALLOT IN!
well i just saw notes on a scandal and i gotta say we're idiots for not nominating either dench or blanchet....they truly rock out on that one...
the best actress categories are too sperm oriented at xixax i think. dench never had a chance.

every sperm is sacred.
I don't think I voted on time (in Portugal I have a hard time trying to figure out what time it is in XixaxLand). Anyway, I had to watch some movies before I could vote, and I hope they went on time. If they didn't, well, at least I got to watch some damn fine movies.
How many people voted?? Can u guys share that info?

THAT'S IT!! Geez, there's over 1100 members. Is that normal?
Thats the problem with the awards... its the reason why next year PTA will win for Best Special Effects and Best Documentary... and every category he doesnt even belong to... the few people that voted here are the big fans.
This year has The Fountain and Inland Empire all over, even though nobody has seen them of the 1000 members, except maybe 30 of the 45 who voted.
honestly i think this is average. and we may have 1000 registered members but if you think about how many people come here every day, people whose personality you actually know, it's a pretty small community. i wouldn't want to count 1000 ballots of members who don't contribute to the board regularly anyway. think of how many members you can name off the top of your head without looking. what'd you get? see. 45.
Plus, when you think about it, about 900 our members are from sex and weight-loss spam sites. :yabbse-undecided:
