| Lego | I think ISp was going to share his screeners!   Katie - This has nothing to do with "Nominated" films. Its what you think it the swanky film etc. Not what Oscar is giving out... |

				            | When I submitted mine I just used "best" as a synonym for swanky in this instance.  I'm sure it will come as no surprise to anybody but I have no idea what swanky means. |

| Kink of Swank | If not limited to Oscar nominated films, I hereby nominate Casino Royale as the swankiest film of the year, bar none. |

| Kink of Swank | Exactly!  When I was apprised of the "rule" opening up the Swankie nominations to beyond the Oscar noms, Casino Royale was the first and obvious choice ... and I posted so immediately. I'm writing in my vote .... Swankiest Picture of the Year = CASINO ROYALE. |
