If these movies I haven't heard of are going to get nominated they need some press. I mean cmon I haven't heard of a TON of those movies. If they are so good why aren't they getting publicity. Little Children, The Queen, Volver, Notes on a Scandal, Sherrybaby, Venus, The Last King of Scotland (I've heard of it but its not playing anywhere near me), Running With Scissors, Little Miss Sunshine, Miss Potter, Kinky Boots, the 2 Eastwood movies. I know lots of movies from the independent or arthouse cinemas always get nominated, but its starting to get ridiculous... I'm not going to drive two hours to one of these theaters.

I'm lucky in that there is an arthouse theater just about walking distance from my house. Sadly though, these are the only movies with substance these days. Hollywood is pushing out crap by the boatload.

Am I the only one that thinks there are other members of the Entourage cast who deserve a nomination?

Piven gets Globe/Emmy nods every single year, and yes he deserves them, but the other cast members should be getting awards left and right as well.

1. Piven
2. Dillon
3. Connolly
4. Grenier
5. Ferrara

In order of worthiness of a statue.

Chiwetel getting nominated for Kinky Boots is nice. No way in hell he wins, buts it's nice to see him get the recognition.

I'm assuming you've been clinically dead for the last month.

Actually I take it back Ive heard of Little Miss Sunshine.... and the others I hear about in award news.... you never see any previews or anything.

This is true. I mean, they never advertise things that Clint Eastwood is involved in.

Just saw Little Miss Sunshine and thought it was funny as hell
