:yabbse-grin:
Ahaha! April fools?! Man, this is like that part in that one movie where everything seemed bad but then like right at the last minute deus ex machina kicked in and everything was fine!!!
This is more like it. This is more like it!
Good to see Catherine Keener get both nods for Capote
and the 40 year old virgin, she deserves them and hopefully will win one..or both. why not, right?
Surprise to me to see Viggo up for best actor. I had the choice between voting for him and George Clooney in Syriana but I went with Clooney (If I could have voted him for supporting I would have been happier so I could have included both). Sad that Good Night and Good Luck didn't get nominated for best film or actor, but the best director nod is a small victory.
Man, you had us all....Talk about commitment to a gag. Know everyone can have a good laugh at themselves for complaining. I at least kept my cool.

...I felt my selections were good. I should start my own awards. So fuck you.
Uh...heh... :yabbse-undecided:
:bravo:
you goddamn mutherfuckers... (http://xixax.com/index.php?topic=3829.msg222222#msg222222)
For the record, we had a total of 36 ballots... which is pretty good. :yabbse-grin:
WOW whatta great list.
i think the only thing i wish we could've cut out is the Sin City re-release, re-dux, re-cut, re-extended, re-unrated, re-tarded edition. there was some amazing box sets that came out this year that should've outvoted that dvd. :ponder:
There are going to be a lot of hard choices to make this year. The Sin City box set was great as far as content, I felt. The packaging sucked ass. Coming with a pocket sized book of the Hard Goodbye was cool, but the set up was impractical. If you took the book out, it was flimsy, and the placement of the DVDs is very annoying (who thought up this overlapping shit?).
Not that I have anything to complain about, as I forgot to send my ballot, but I'm surprised The New World wasn't nominated for editing.
i'm very happy with the list. Should I refrain from discussing particulars for now (who I voted for etc.)? Anyways, well done on the joke.

i completely disagree. i was surprised by how little i liked Keener this year. not that i disliked her. those performances just aren't very good/memorable. i think sin city deserved the dvd nom very much. even if only for the audience commentary. i'm disappointed by the lack of kong.

haha. I didn't vote, so I'm not going to say much, but the list is pretty awesome. No love for Terrence Howard, Kiss Kiss, or Downfall, however.

Wow, really? I honestly thought that in many respects 2005 was basically the year of Keener. No other actress stood out for me, personally, at least.

The combo of the two roles really showed that she can be her friendly/goofy self (
Virgin) AND someone much more reserved (
Capote).
