So I guess you all didn't vote? (C'mon, I posted a link and everything!)

Hey, I did and I guess I'm N'Sync with the world's vote.

IMHO... Didnt' care enough to even watch Sunshine on Netflix. Haven't liked a Jim Carrey movie since Peggy Sue Got Married, and Charlie Kaufman seems to have been lucky when he penned Malkovich. Incredibles was another average product from Pixar, this one a family-friendly liberal borrowing from comic book material. (I'd rather see a good anime version of Dark Knight Returns anyday.) Didn't think the original Shrek was anything special, and this one was more of the same. Spiderman 2 was actually less realistic-looking than the 100% CGI nominees, and I liked the story much better when it was released under its original title, Superman II.

F 9/11 deserved to win by a landslide. Even compared to the films eligible for the other awards, it at least belongs in the top 5.

But in practical terms... what were the ticket sales for the other 4 nominees for People's Choice? Not money, but actual number of tickets sold. Out of 300 million US residents, how many saw these films? Compare that to the number of people who may not have seen F 9/11, but have read up on the issues it raises and who feel strong support for the premise of the film.

Seems to me, the best film of a given year should still be a good film for years and years. Will the other four movies be considered good a few years from now? Doubtful.
