    The award nominations seem appropriate. Atonement was excellent, and it was refreshing to see a film dealing with war time so character driven. I have actually seen most of the films nominated, and many not nominated, at the Toronto Film Festival. Included in this list was the ‘Jesse James’ film, which was JUSTLY passed over. I have rarely seen a more self indulgent boring film… the ‘ending’ went on and on, and many of the audience got up and left before the curtains came up. The only reason to stay was the after party with Brangolina.

    Oh yes, It is wonderful to see VIggo Mortensen nominated. His performance was incredible in Eastern Promises. And the film was the most perfect creation ever from the evil genius that is David Cronenberg. Bravo.

    I’m soooo happy! I adore James McAvoy, After being ignored for his fantastic work in “Last King of Scotland” it’s about time he was recognized!!!

    James McAvoy is pretty much the hottest actor to come out of the British isles lately. Even in Narnia, with the goat legs, he exuded sexiness.

    Oh yeah…..sexy goat legs!! Stop teasing me! LOL.

    It’s funny, you know. There I was, sitting in front of the tube watching my commercials and all of a sudden a Golden Globe was being handed out to someone. Who hijacked my commercials?
