For Your Consideration

I've seen more movies in the theater in the last few days than the average Jane Q. Public does in a month. Fuck yeah me.
One benny was seeing this trailer which I hadn't seen online yet or heard much about.

Dear voting Academy members who usually have their heads up their asses,

Please consider Sam Rockwell who is one of the most outstanding, fearless and natural actors alive today. And fuck you for ignoring his performance in Moon.

Love, NDG.

P.S. Hilary looks like she does a great job here, but let's not throw awards at her because she already has enough.

P.S.S. Seeing Minnie Driver makes me want to watch Good Will Hunting.

Kthxbye



Sidebar: I love that Tony Goldwyn directed this. I want good things for the evil Carl Bruner.

globes!

happy golden globe nominations day.

hope the HFPA doesn't screw things up too bad this year.

Dear HFPA,

NO ONE CARES ABOUT ENTOURAGE. Please stop.

SAG Awards

for the first time in it's 15 year history i missed the first hour of the SAG Awards last night.
what an ass. at least i wasn't wandering around at Target or doing laundry like i usually am on Sunday nights..i actually was out having an amazing dinner.
i'm so sad that I missed the opening "I'm an actor" speeches.
Thank God for the WWW.

anyway. I do love Kate Winslet (der), but YAY Meryl! Her acceptance speech is now one of my very favorites ever! Love that woman.





Ditto for Sean Penn. I couldn't be happier that he won last night, and I hope that's how the Oscars will go too.

(note how Katie Robot Holmes can't speak English very well here)





here's the complete list of winners.

and here's Entertainment Weekly's list of Best and Worst Moments.


Fave couple alert!
I love how they look semi-miserable. Maybe it's because they'd rather be home watching the show on TV.

Film Independent Spirit Award Nominations

these came out a little while ago.
i'm still processing.
a few thoughts:

-Hooray Diablo Cody, Jason Reitman and Ellen Page for Juno!!!!
-NO LARS AND THE REAL GIRL NOMINATIONS!??? WTF?
-Once nominated! Best Foreign Film. Kick ass!
-PSH nominated for The Savages, not Before the Devil....This confuses me a little.
-Marisa Tomei is Before the Devil....um, really? so what? she looks good naked. that's it.
-Keri Russell should have been nominated for Waitress
-Joseph Gordon Levitt and/or Jeff Daniels in The Lookout IGNORED! (but at least it got best 1st feature)
-Yay! Parker Posey for Broken English
-Laura Linney ignored for The Savages. i don't get it.
