Can someone explain why Hereoes didn´t get any lead actor noms in the TV slots?
March 11th, 2009 at 10:15 am
Can someone explain how Hereoes could be nominated for anything?
March 11th, 2009 at 2:41 pm
a number of nominations make these awards redundant:
indiana jones 4 getting nominated for anything is a crime, maggie gyllenhaal and christian bale, nominated for dark knight are they taking the piss, their the two worst performances in that movie

can someone explain how wanted and hancock are fantasy films? and how dark knight has as much tech as iron man, but one is action and the otehr is sci-fi. or how apparently wall-e is eligible for director, which leads me to believe its eligible for picture, but isnt, and that jumper, i guess, is a better film than wall-e? or how gwen is a leading actress in that film but charlize who has a much larger role in hancock is supporting?
sorry, i don’t mean to hate on these, but this entire list seems like absolutely no thought was put into it. beyond the choices, the categories don’t even make sense.

I will not understand until the end of what exactly is written here, because I don’t know English so well. It is possible to write it more clearly?
