Luke Skywalker dreamed of joining the Academy, but the one I would like to draw your attention to has almost no relation to a galaxy far, far away. The 2008 Academy Award nominations have just been released, but of course we must try and decontstruct, debase, or otherwise demean the official nominations by cigar-smoking Hollywood bigwigs. This is one of the few instances where the opinion of our few (and I mean FEW) dedicated blog readers can have their voices heard. I'd like to compile a list of everyone's favorite films from 2008, and then we'll make a nifty poll to see what films win for each of our illustrious categories.
Please submit your nominees for each of the following:
Best Picture - Best Comedy - Best Trailer/Teaser - Best Actor - Best Actress - Best Supporting Actor/Actress - Best Concept - Best Remake/Adaptation
and, in traditional Monstro fashion, some worsts:
Worst Picture - Worst Actor - Worst Actress - Worst Ending - Worst Sex Scene
Thanks for your participation.
This is gonna be really long. Have fun, Drew.

Worst Picture: 28 weeks later, hands down. I know it was filmed last year, but it's THAT bad.
ReplyDeleteWorst Actor: that guy from Grizzly Man. He should NOT have fucked with those bears.
Worst Actress: I'm actually going to agree with Aaron on this one. Jennifer Garner did NOT impress me at all in Juno. And she won't fuck me.
Worst Ending: Ratatouille. To goddam hard to spell.
Worst Sex Scene: Eastern Promises. That sex scene in the steam-bath really didn't do it for me.
