Any thoughts on nominations, winners, etc?

Matt Damon getting major supporting nominations for his two movies.

I think Dexter may be taking some awards from the globes this year. Lithgow probably, if not Emerson. Kind of surprised 24 wasn't on there considering it was one of the best in a while. It was way better then True Blood last year for sure.

Additionally, Avatar will win all the techinical awards for sure. Only the 1000 odd people who saw Avatar can say whether or not it will win Best Picture, director though.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Jeez BZ. Put that in a spoiler tag please.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

BUT BUT it is not a SPOILER =p Must change the function name title.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

What's the point.

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

AND BEST SIMPSON'S EPISODE WRITER GOES TO...

FELIPE NO

I assume all those nominations for "Nine" are for the musical with Goldie Hawn's daughter in, rather than the really rather awesome Tim Burton film, which was better than Wall-E?

There are so many different awards these days, does anyone even care any more? That the nominees are generally films that are about to come out makes the whole process even more cynical.

What, you don't want my bikini-clad body?

Did the Golden Globes seriously give a best comedy series nomination to Entourage this year? It's been a stretch every time it's been included, but this season was outright terrible. It's not like there was a lack of options, either.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Lithgow had better win best supporting actor. His bad guy role in Dexter was freaking incredible.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

I totally agree. Lithgow however...

Spoiler:

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

I like how all the awards gave snubs to Big Bang Theory, a show which has been consistently funny and interesting. But no, they instead favor tired, unwatchable dreck like The Office and 30 Rock. Neither show has ever made me laugh. I sincerely don't get what the critics think is so great. Is the lack of humor somehow a selling point these days? "I've laughed before. That is SO old hat. These shows dare to be unfunny! We must reward their insolence!"

I mean, Cougar Town? Seriously? Isn't that shit just Sex & the City + Desperate Housewives?


Also: Avatar isn't even released in theatres yet. How can it seriously be nominated for anything at all? I detest this practice since it seems as if the nomination is based largely upon speculation. If a movie hasn't been officially released at the time of nomination, it should be fucking ineligible. Sorry, Peter Jackson, looks like you'll have to wait until next year when you'll be old hat and will have to compete against next November's flash-in-the-pan releases! Fair is fair!

Yeah he should and he probably will. It makes me wonder why the Emmys put Jimmy smits from season 3 in the guest actor category for being in the entire season last year. This makes me think Lithgow will be in the guest actor emmy category this year as well, which doesn't really make sense to me even if he is a guest for just one season.

I assume Crash that all the golden globe people have seen the prescreen last week and obviously the critics for the critics choice awards. I don't even specifically know who nominates the globes. It is the foreign press people?

Even so I guess it is a little weird for the outside people looking in.

Totally agree about The Office. Not even funny.

I was speaking idiomatically.

Okay, I liked 9 but better than WALL-E? I dunno... I guess I could see how you can compare the two though. I just... hmmm... ah... no...

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

No, the fact that Curb Your Enthusiasm never beats out any of these garbage fucking shows is the real problem. Network TV has not pumped out anything that can even compare since the last show Larry David did.

FELIPE NO

If it makes you feel any better, Crash, people who get a kick out of 30 Rock and The Office sincerely can't understand how you could say how neither have ever produced anything resembling comedy.

What, you don't want my bikini-clad body?

30 Rock has more or less become a live action Family Guy, but I "sincerely can't understand" all the Office hate being thrown around here. It's not as funny as it used to be, but seasons 2-4 are great. The show has a lot more depth than you'd think, offsetting the awkward comedy with really touching moments sprinkled here and there. The Office is a show I was scared about because of how much I love the British original, but they've managed to not just equal the old show, but in some ways surpass it.

I will agree with Jessy that the Curb Your Enthusiasm snubs are extremely annoying, especially after this last season. The episode with the box cutter is easily the best stuff they've ever done.

Also, BZ is correct about Avatar being screened for critics early for award noms. This is not that out of the ordinary, Crash.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Is Avatar really deserving of best picture? Technologically, it's pretty damn impressive and if it wins awards there, then it really deserves it. But I've seen Best Director, Best Picture...is it really seen as anything more than a by the numbers Hollywood action film?

Also, just out of curiosity, has anyone seen the Informant? Any good?

Modern Family. End of discussion. Those people not watching it because of Glee are missing out.




I watch both thank you DVR.

How ya doing, buddy?

Avatar even making the list of ten Best Picture nominees would be a travesty.

If we're voting based on sheer Hollywood spectacle, a classic Hollywood story, and an enormous fan base, then yes, Avatar deserves it in the same sense that Titanic deserved its numerous statues.

I'd nominate it, but I wouldn't give it my vote. With 10 nominees this year, I think it's safe to assume Avatar will at least be nominated, but I'll be legitimately surprised if it wins. Then again, LA Confidential lost to Titanic, so anything is possible when there's a James Cameron flick afoot.

I was speaking idiomatically.

Shut the fuck up. You have proven time and time again your astounding lack of taste. And your equally astounding self-assuredness in said taste.

Any movie that follows established archetypes so closely that I know exactly how the plot is going to turn out from the trailer doesn't even deserve my ten bucks, let alone a god damn award.

But, ooooh! Pretty colors! In three-dimensions!

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

Oh man have you heard about that one where they put dinosaurs on an island for some theme park and they all bring some people in to test things out and then everything goes horribly wrong? Oh man I never thought that some people gonna die but then some people gonna escape and learn a valuable lesson or two HAPPY ENDING. Brrr wrong so predictable. It's not like anything that actually happened in the movie matters when I can bullet point the plot in advance. What he got the girl in the end and the bad guy went boom? Four out four diarrhea filled toilets.

Most amazing jew boots

Faster.

Must go faster.

What, you don't want my bikini-clad body?

All I could think about the entire time I was watching Avatar was how awful it would look in ten years.

And if I'd ever see a bit of blue nip-slip
