Hmmm.... Spencer Tracy's out. I like him, but I haven't seen San Francisco . No passes means no Paul Muni, though I quite like his performance and have no qualms with the win. Between Cooper, Huston and Powell? Well, I think it belongs to Huston - he's amazing in Dodsworth Flipp, tackle Best Origin...

Canada has just voted; the reactionary Harper and his Conservatives won, but it is still a minority government, thank God--which means they have to team up with another one of the three other sitting parties to get anything passed. Not much chance of getting any help from the Liberals, or the more-...

It's already been renewed for a second season. I love Pushing Daisies and hate Amelie for what it's worth. Lee Pace and Anna Friel are just too adorable for words, the supporting cast is divine. And I hate Kristin Chenowith as a rule, so I'm surprised at just how much I love her here. Edited By Okr...

So is The Barbarian Invasions, but they classified that as original.

I don't mind their being a distinction (and I find the definitions of comedy and drama to be blurred more often - how many times have you disagreed with the Golden Globe placement of a film).

Oooh, you devil. Well, no passes = no Streisand or Hepburn. Both are good performances, but I'd probably only consider Hepburn, and probably not for very long (and wouldn't it be mean to give someone with no passes left the best actor/1932 category?) So who's left? Redgrave - I haven't seen. I real...

You know, I think the fact that they don't change a hell of a lot is part of the reason I enjoyed the film so much. Cera and Dennings do have great chemistry, and the flow of the film is superb. The characters are so charmingly young - they have life ahead of them and right now just want to find th...
