[Alex]

Ten Best Films of 2009
...
“(500) Days of Summer”
...

Really? It was one of the worst dramas I saw this year.

[Ghoulish Delight]

Wait, I'm confused. How is The Messenger nominated for best picture, but not on the "10 best" list for the Golden Satelites? That makes no sense.

[Chernabog]

Why that horrible movie Adventureland was nominated for anything, I'll never know.

[Alex]

Same reason as 500 Days is nominated. A lot of people confuse young angst for depth of character.

[Not Afraid]

Why is Nine on a list when it doesn't come out until 12/25. Not fair!

[Bornieo: Fully Loaded]

Like I've said - we need our OWN awards!! They can all do it, why can't we?

More "important" nominations!
The Annies!
