I don't know, jack, send me your full name by e-mail and I'll check. I had a few messages that failed to go through, so maybe.
And, I won't copy my screeners to the OFTA because it's illegal.

Apparently enough people liked Fergie's big moment.Sabin wrote:Nine got a nomination for Most Cinematic Moment? How is that possible? Everyone on this Board hated that movie! Did anybody like this movie?
Not everyone on this board is a member of OFTA and vice versa but in general terms the nominations probably do reflect the majority of members of the UAADB, just not the most vocal ones.

I'll be more than happy to join OFTA if it means getting screeners.Damien wrote:That's why I never join these online groups (despite the prospect of getting screeners).
If I have to vote 'Nine' for Best Picture in order to get screeners, I'll whore my vote out. No problem!

Very true. Yet, if more people like you (or even me) joined such groups the results would be probably different, more varied and certainly more interesting.Damien wrote:That's why I never join these online groups (despite the prospect of getting screeners). I have my own particular taste and would not want to be associated with an organization that thinks Avatar, District 9, The Hurt Locker, Inglourious Basterds and Up in the Air are the 5 best pictures of the year.ITALIANO wrote:Exactly. And more in general, these nominations dont seem to mirror this board at all. This board is MUCH better, so I was kind of surprised. It is, as for so many other awards, just a case of let's-guess-the-Oscars. And do people here only watch American movies?! No screenplay nomination for a foreign movie? Only Americans know how to write a movie? Please.Sabin wrote:Nine got a nomination for Most Cinematic Moment? How is that possible? Everyone on this Board hated that movie!

I like the noms for Capaldi, McKay, In the Loop for Ensemble and Adapted Screenplay (Precious is REALLY a better script than Fantastic Mr. Fox?), Revanche, Summer Hours, and An Education for Costume Design. I don't like Ben Foster's LOOK AT ME! leading performance in The Messenger getting him in over Damon, Phoenix, or Stuhlbarg, nor do I understand why District 9 gets a Cinematography nomination over A Serious Man or Where the Wild Things Are let alone 12 other nominations. It's a good movie but there were better.
