10th Annual Hollywood Awards

LOL. Be sure to vote for Lindsay Lohan. Winning will give her the acknowledgement she needs that her nightly partying is all it takes to succeed in Hollywood.

I think the polls are meant to be just that - popularity contests. I'm actually more concerned about the honorees on the right-hand side of the page. So, which ones of them are gonna make it eventually to the Oscars?

Ben Affleck is recipient of the Supporting Actor prize.

That page, Van, is a joke. There isn't a single high quality actress who's not a babe on the list. Dead Man's Chest which is one of the year's worst films is being voted the best by a legion of rabid fans. There is absolutely no point in looking at that poll or taking it for that matter.

I'm not sure what is their definition of 'breakthrough' but I think, to them, it does not mean the honorees have to be newcomers. Last year, they gave the same awards to Jake Gyllenhaal & Rachel McAdams. Gyllenhaal for Proof, Jarhead & Brokeback Mountain (his previous credits include Donnie Darko, Moonlight Mile & The Day After Tomorrow). McAdams for Red Eye & Wedding Crashers (her previous credits include The Hot Chick, Mean Girls & The Notebook).

This year, they're giving it to Luke obviously for Catch A Fire whereas they're giving it to Lohan for her participation in A Prairie Home Companion & Bobby.

Anyways, I think Whitaker & Luke (just like Gyllenhaal) might make it to the Oscars.

[rudeboy]

Luke is no newcomer, and Lohan has been a big star for years - are these really the people they deemed to need this the most?

[VanHelsing]

3 more honorees (Whitaker, Luke & Lohan) have been announced. Refer to first post.

[VanHelsing]

Yeah, I agree.

I think out of these honorees, likely Oscar contenders would be Bobby, Cruz, Roth, Cars, Pirates, Cox, Santaolalla & Myhre.

As for Bullock, she should be in consideration as well. And I'm not saying this because I love her but based on the good reviews that she has been getting so far. The only thing I see that could prove to be a disadvantage for her is the voters' respect for Keener who had already been nominated for the same role.

I'm now waiting for them to announce the Leading & Supporting Actor honorees.

[Hustler]

Oliver Stone as a possible nominee? not likely. and what about Sandra Bullock´s chances?
