hooray for Christian Berger!!!
not so much for 500 Days of Summer, whose adulation I just don’t get.
Looks like the director you’re rooting for this year is winning that Oscar, right?
But boy it would be amazing if Bigelow won the Oscar. She really gave the most gifted riection in THL.
I wouldn’t say this is a reliable precursor by any means, Kay, but I think it’s better to win something than to win nothing. Same rationale behind this post. It’s not a high-profile awards ceremony, but the choice is between posting the winners or posting no awards news at all — ’cause there’s nothing else happening today.
Still it gives me hope! And it’s good to be back on the awesomeness known as AD! Missed this website.
Missed you too. Where have you been?
Well school has started for me again and I’ve just been so busy. I’ll try to visit more, specifically during awards season!
I see. So it’s Vacation > AD > Studying.
Can we at least correct whatever website this is from – The White Ribbon is the work of Michael Haneke.
I’m pretty sure Florian Henckel von Donnersmarck is just the person who’s presenting the award to Christian Berger, Kyle.
Just as Zooey Deschanel & Joseph Gordon-Levitt are names as presenters to hand the screenplay award to Scott Neustadter & Michael H. Weber.
Christian Berger…. ew.
TWILIGHT SAGA:NEW MOON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! OMGz, what if it pulls an upset in SFX and gets a nod over Transformers? How cool that would be?
anything beating transformers would be good.
Bunch of hacks. Where’s “Best on Screen Female Genital Mutilation” award? Huh?
How the hell does someone win an award for Nine when no one has seen the bloody film?
Awards are crap sometimes!!!!
Still not getting the Bigelow lov – puleez!!!!
