This probably just goes to show the level of my geekhood and the ease with which I can please myself, but every year since I got into film, I like to make up my own award nominations. I'll add everyone whom I thought was worthy of mentioning, whether they ever had a chance in hell of getting an Oscar nod or not. Sometimes I would use both the Oscar categories and the MTV Movie Award ones. Occassionally I would make up my own, just because I wanted to acknowledge my own favorites and not what everyone else generally liked. It really did make me feel better afterwards. I may just be one person, but dammit, some people need more recognition! Even if it only ends up being in my notebook. :mrgreen:
So hey, what are your picks? Feel free to edit as you see more 2004 releases. I know I will be.
