Out of the major nominees, the only ones I haven't seen are:

Million Dollar Baby
Garden State
Maria Full of Grace
Hotel Rwanda

Doesn't seem likely that I'll get to see the last three, but I'll try to get M$B

Thanks. I'll work on my speech this afternoon.

You must see Million Dollar Baby Dr. Lecter. I think I've already told you how much I liked it, no? It is simply superb.

Well, I will probably get to see it, just not, in, ehhm, cinemas. Well, not at first at least...

it is being released here too late.

uuuh, you should see Garden State, great movie!!

If what you have listed in the first post isn't going to hcange (dates, who to mail to, etc) then if you gusy want I'll send out ballots to people's pm boxes?

Just give me the go ahead so i don't screw everything up like the first round.

PM'd my votes.

So, is the whole "My god, HOW did that get nominated" mess over with? That really annoyed me last night, guys. I did not nominate The Aviator for much, if at all (must check again), but if I did, I sure as hell wouldn't want some sore losers telling me I'm wrong about my choices. Did it occur to anyone it was nominated on its own merit for some people? Does it occur to anyone that SOME liked it? Obviously not.

Of course not. Were you expecting anything different X?

I won't vote until I see Sideways (which I'm seeing later today), The Aviator (to see why the hell it got 13 nominations), and Closer (because it seems interesting). Oh, and The Motorcycle Diaries (so I can nominate it for Best Foreign Film, possibly).

well, since there are no instructions here, I assume we can all vote for as many of the nominees per category as we want, right? :wink:

Mike....

Vote for one candidate per category. Send your ballot to either myself, matatonio, or xiayun.

Already done! (I knew it was only one vote per category, I was just seeing if it was OK to stuff the ballot box!)

love the nominees for the most part. Very surprised that Collateral beat out Sideways for the best picture nom, but it's a good surprise. Only robbery for the most part is John Heder not being in breakout star, Napoleon Dynamite was awesome.

I need to write my speech
*still hasn't written his 2 bom speeches*

When does voting end, cause I plan on seeing the Aviator at the end of the month.
