------------------------------------------------------

Pretty cookie cutter stuff if you ask me. Once again Heroes is neglected (yes, I'm totally biased). I hardly know any of the movies nominated, but it seems like it's the same names on the nomination list that I typically see in this sort of thing.


PS, I don't think that a thread for this has been made yet. If so, merge, close, etc.

[EddieV]

That's a pretty big list.

[superstitious]

That's a pretty big list.

Why yes, yes it is.

[EddieV]

I didn't even get a chance to read the whole thing, I'm still at it.

[superstitious]

Sorry, Eddie. Carry on.

And root for Shatner.

[EddieV]

I think overall, it's a sad year for media.

[technics]

I don't like the fact that The Simpsons Movie is nonimated. I didn't think it was that great. :/

[hi-C]

^ Yeah, but then you have to ask yourself how many animated movies get released in a year.

- - -

I generally like the movie nods, but the TV ones can go somewhere. I'm surprised John C. Rielly got a best acting nomination for Walk Hard. It looks like such an eh sort of movie.

For sure. There really wasn't much in the way of animated films this year.

I haven't heard of or seen any previews or what not of Walk Hard. I do know that typically speaking, John C. Rielly is good in just about anything he does, so I'm not surprised he was nominated. Same goes for Cate Blanchett. I think it's interesting that Ryan Gosling was nominated for a comedy type film, considering he's usually a dramatic type of actor. I'm thinking that John Travolta has a good standing chance of winning.

Best Performance by an Actor in a Motion Picture - Musical Or Comedy

John C. Reilly – Walk Hard: The Dewey Cox Story

I adore him, he is HILARIOUS. I am so excited to see this movie it's ridiculous.

Best Animated Feature Film

The Simpsons Movie

A lot of people didn't like it, but I am a HUGE simpsons fan, and I think it was better than the other movies nominated.

Best Director - Motion Picture

Tim Burton – Sweeney Todd

Tim Burton is one of my favorite people ever. I would do nearly anything to meet him. I actually have yet to see the movie, but I have faith in him.

Best Original Score - Motion Picture

Into The Wild
Composed by Eddie Vedder, Michael Brook, Kaki King

I also haven't seen this movie, but I LOVE the book. Damn me and my biased opinions that aren't based on fact.

Best Original Song - Motion Picture

"Walk Hard" – Walk Hard: The Dewey Cox Story
Music & Lyrics By: Jake Kasdan, John C. Reilly, Marshall Crenshaw and Judd Apatow

Have you heard this song? It's hilarious.

[hi-C]

I'm thinking that John Travolta has a good standing chance of winning.

Yeah, I love every role I've seen John C. Reilly play. He's so underrated, it's so sad. And Travolta...meh. It was impressive the way he hopped around in that fat lady-suit, but I didn't think he was that good.

[Amay]

HELL YEAH.
Enchanted!

[Sandraaa]

No Heroes?

[superstitious]

No Heroes?

NOPE =/

[Sandraaa]

No Patrick Dempsey?

[superstitious]

No Patrick Dempsey?

No McDreamy either. =/

[Sandraaa]

O_o

No 24 either. Bleh. I don't really care.

[ersatz]

Judd Apatow was neglected. Wtf. Definitely best comedy of 2007, Knocked Up. Hacks.
