Dicraprio TWICE, lol..The Office..The Christine show..blech..LITTLE MISS SUNSHINE and BORAT..
Y-U-K!..

But I am glad to see Kate and LITTLE CHILDREN..HEROES and and GREY'S ANATOMY.

THE SCIENCE OF SLEEP is no where to be found (although their may be Editing and Special Effects awards not listed)..no shock, ..but I hope atleast it gets some credit at the IFP's atleast. It was my film of the year.

I'm a voting member of the Independent Spirit Awards. No dice, man.

http://filmindepende...es/nominees.php

However, one of my top 10 movies from 2005, Four Eyed Monsters, got 2 nominations, and one of my favorites from this year Wristcutters: A Love Story also got 2.

Happy Happy.

[Mitchell]

Nominated for playing Elizabeth I and II in the same year. Crazy. Grey's Anatomy over The Sopranos crazier.

curious..how did you get that gig?..is it just a matter of getting in contact with them and making a request?..waiting list, etc

For the 2nd year in a row, there are far too many good films lacking on there. The IFP's used to be great, but last year was a letdown..and this year appears to be even worse.

besides THE SCIENCE OF SLEEP, there were a lot of movies I saw in the last 12 months that I felt were very good movies.

THE WORLD'S FASTEST INDIAN
ALPHA DOG
CACHE: THE HIDDEN (this may have been in last year films..why the whole "year" thing is scrued up anyway)
DON'T COME KNOCKING
WRONG SIDE UP
ART SCHOOL CONFIDENTIAL
NICE GUYS

It's really tough.

You pay for membership.

Actually, I didn't separately pay for membership, but my film festival sponsored an IFP/Chicago Event, which comes with a membership.

Keep in mind, this is to vote for the winners. I believe the nominating committee is very small.

Grey's Anatomy over The Sopranos crazier.

As improbably as it may seem,

Season 2 Grey's >>>>> season 6 Sopranos

except for the first couple eps, those were great

[MattW]

Bobby for best picture? For shame. I felt so embarassed for Emilio Estevez about how trite ridiculous it was.

[no magnets]

people, science of sleep was terrible. it was nice to look at, but a huge disappointment apart from that.

has anyone actually seen the pursuit of happyness yet? i've heard it's so much of a downer that the inevitable good feelings at the end aren't enough.

[Slackmo]

Worst year for movies in ages.

Strange I was embarassed for him when he married Paula Abdul.

[/Soundscape recklessly tosses credibility out nearest window.]

[Agrimorfee]

There is no reason in God's green earth why Leonardo should have gotten 2 nominations. Surely there were more choices this year?

Not that anyone here cares, but Bleak House was a great PBS miniseries...the darkest Dickens adaptation ever. (it's on DVD)

[Elemeno P.T.]

Worst year for movies in ages.

You happen to be right, IMO...but with as few flicks as you've seen this year, can you really be so certain?

Call it an educated hunch, then--and I will be only too happy to be proven wrong.

I've got 2 1/2 weeks off starting Monday. Plan on seeing a handful of the major contenders (Little Children, Children of Men, Iwo Jima, The Fountain, and maybe the new DeNiro film)over break. Unless I'm blown away by at least 3, then it will be the worst year for film in a long time. I certainly don't have anything close to a clear favorite at this point and nothing I've seen would finish in my top 5 of last year.

I'm comfy with The Proposition, Brick, and Cache making my top 10 this year, but I don't know what the heck else is going to fill this up.

The Proposition and Brick will be on my list somewhere, even though I had some problems with both. I hope you are able to see United 93, Flags of Our Fathers, The Prestige and Babel before the deadline...and, of course, Idiocracy!

[MattDrufke]

Does anyone else find it a little dishonest that "Apocalypto" is nominated for best foreign language film?

[Nick]

Worst year for movies in ages.

I agree with this. An Inconvenient Truth and Borat are the only two movies I can say I really really enjoyed. Little Miss Sunshine was okay.

[DrJimmy]

Borat was my favorite movie of the year.

But, more than any other movie this year, I think The Departed will stand the test of time. It has tons of replay potential & entertainment value.
