wtf? lol @ xixax awards
boo-urns to two things:
1. melanie laurent for best actress?? come on she's supporting.
2. not nominating breaking bad and weeds.
kudos for its always sunny thou.
I couldn't be happier with these nominations. I don't think the crop of Best Picture candidates has ever matched up so closely with my own nominations.
The toughest voting category for me is BEST TRAILER because they are all so goddamn good. (Watch them again, seriously.)
Great job, everyone. :bravo:
amazing noms this year, very few categories are already decided.
a word on performances:
as every year, females need to pick up their game cos like in almost every sport the men are the most exciting to watch. in particular i'm exicted most about the best male noms. two massive front runners, two strong dark horses, and just one space-filler. that's gonna be tough to call.
a word on technical categories:
this year you freaks even found a way to make visual FX a nail biter! the three front runners are so strong that no matter who wins it'll result in two huge upsets. even if i could campaign (wait, can we?) i wouldn't know which to push. i'm sweating in the panties my mother laid out for me just thinking about it.
a word on CMBB:
even tho it might seem like the front runner you freaks somehow filled out the category with the ONLY films that could possibly pose a real challenge. there are some hardcore xixax favourites right there.. if these films were dogs, i'd pay to see that fight. (of course they'd just be cute as hell puppies, and the fight would consist of them all just tumbling over each other and generally being adorable until everyone watching would walk away to spread a message of peace and love to the world.)
Did someone mention Ratner? No? Tough luck!

MAN, THAT WAS HARD!
Great noms, guys! Put the Oscars to shame and made it seem like a pretty decent year.
The hardest was best Trailer! Besides A Single Man, all of those trailers are some next level shit.
It's hard to separate awesome trailers from the possible disappointment had once the movie came out, but I think my vote is truly what I think the best trailer is.
Are we still allowed to final vote if we didn't finish and turn in our nominations?
I know I have no room to talk but I wish Breaking Bad or Friday Night Lights took Curbs spot on TV Shows. This season of Curb was awful.

Yes.
For the record, anyone and everyone can vote, regardless of participation in the nominations.
EDIT: Yeah, what Mac said.
so i sent in my votes to the person i was suppose to and i don't have it sitting in my outbox or anywhere else in my messages. does that mean it didn't go through?
sounds like it, but you should maybe ask the person you sent it to in a separate PM.
You're good, socketlevel. I got yours.

I'm assuming you didn't check the box to "Save a copy in my outbox."
Am I the only one who finds a lot of these noms to be a tragedy? I mean, I guess I should expect some sort of deviation from my own personal list, or maybe I should be thankful that each category will be easier to select from, but damn.
Also, no Peep Show in Best TV? :yabbse-thumbdown:
What do you think is missing?
Although most categories are going to be a no brainer for me, I gotta agree it's a damn good list this year. Really reflects the schizophrenic aspects of this board, especially in a year where there was no out-and-out monster of a film.
:yabbse-thumbup: for Joaquin's nom
At least this year won't be an obvious sweep across the board. I'm guess some noms are pretty surprising like WTWTA or Inglorious Basterds for Best Picture.
Should still be fun.
these nominations are perfect. i didn't get a chance to nominate this year, but i'm happy to see i didn't need to. there are very few films in there i haven't seen, so i'll be participating in the final vote.
good point brock.
all you freaks should consider the nominees you havn't yet seen. the list of films you should see is now shorter, so make use of the time until march 1 to catch up. for example i hav now seen almost all the docos except one, and i'll be catchin that soon just to see if it can challenge my current fave. i strongly urge everyone to see at least 4 of those before you send in a default vote for who you think might win, cos there are some really good films there.
it will take at LEAST a week of mental deliberation to deal with the trailer category alone.
I'm glad that Boondock Saints II didn't make worst film because even though we all agree that part one is the worst movie we've ever seen, it means nobody saw part two.
Boondock Saints II is a straight to DVD release in all of our minds. I say we make it eligible for next year. That's when most of us will give half a shit to see it.
a bit disapointed with the best pic and by extansion best director categories...
definitely missing in best pic is Bad Lieutenant and Two Lovers. I disagree with IB but understood it was going to be there, but no way A Serious Man is better than Two Lovers or BL... except in the trailer departement, which is the only place A Serious Man was really good at. that movie sucked imo.
Glad about the House of the Devil for poster and also It's gonna be a Basterds landslide in the major categories, maybe even in worst film haha sweet.
I've seen every nominated film except World's Greatest Dad, The Princess And The Frog, House Of The Devil, and Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen. :shock:
Can anybody beat that?

ya that's it. good to know it got through polka.
Flick of the decade has me shook. I want There Will Be Blood to win since it's my favorite of the decade, but if everyone else is going to vote for it, I want Eternal Sunshine to win.
My politicking isn't going to involve any sort of avatar change with a fancy photoshop or a long-winded post about how awesome what you should vote for best of the decade is, it's just going to involve if you were going to vote for There Will Be Blood, vote for Eternal Sunshine, and if you weren't sure who you're going to vote for, vote for There Will Be Blood.
But to not make it a two movie race, vote for Inglorious Basterds.
Eternal Sunshine should win. It really should.

Mulholland Drive or TWBB. Not original but it is what it is
I really think we should have a separate vote this summer for top 10 of the decade.
Nah.

No man, it's DEKA this summer (I hope)
Or maybe we could do some kind of film Olympics... each country having a representant (or a couple depending on the country etc) and then a vote? we could figure it out... we need to get some high-brow stuff in there, some films some of us will have never seen
As P mentioned the trailer category is really solid this year. Interesting to re-watch them now, knowing how the actual movie came out ('sides Inception). Sure WTWTA is the most ebullient, but Up in the Air is most reflective of the film while still building intrigue.
Also, was anyone else struck by how much they de-gayed the Single Man trailer? You'd think it was a straight up Firth/Moore romance with all Tom Ford's model friends in bit parts.
yo i vote to like two different people yall,... does that mean like im stupid or sumthin?G
you... sent your vote to two people? whoever wasn't me shouldn't count it, then.
follow-up question: are you high?
wait so do i send vote to different people for different categorieS yall? or do i send vote to names by the first letter of the last name of the winning director? do i mail it?
