The Spilled Latte Awards voting is OCCURRING RIGHT NOW. LOOK AT THE OTHER ANCHORED POST!

Wondering if there are any movies you're missing when making your lists? Feel like you have time to check out a movie or two in the next few weeks? Thinking, "I wonder what (insert your favorite PTP poster) would recommend me examine before finalizing my selections?"

Wonder, feel, and think no more. Behold-- the FYCs for the SLAs.

In this post, campaign as hard as you want for the underdogs, the dark horses, or perhaps just post up your Top 10 list here as you're formulating it so folks know what flicks might merit consideration from them in their own thought process.

That way, we can speak freely here without cluttering the other post too much. Go for it!

The comparative neglect in PTP is regrettable.

My current 10:

1. 35 Shots of Rum
2. The Secret of the Grain
3. Revanche
4. Still Walking
5. Sugar
6. Sin Nombre
7. Me and Orson Welles
8. Hunger
9. Munyurangabo
10. In the Loop

I suggest others take his recommendations seriously.

1. Where the Wild Things Are
2. Gomorrah
3. Revanche
4. Summer Hours
5. The Hurt Locker
6. 35 Rhums
7. Fantastic Mr. Fox
8. Sugar
9. Inglorious Basterds
10. Avatar

I didn't get to watch Sin Nombre in time. Going to try and catch it this weekend.

All deserve some thought when thinking of the best movie of the year, along with Avatar, Up, Inglorious Basterds, and District 9.

*edit* I realize Zombieland is a severe dark horse, but it might just be the best movie I've seen all year.

it got nowhere near an acceptable amount of notice, in my opinion.

even though it got generally good reviews and made box office, i think a LOT of people misunderstood this film. it's not a kid's movie, it's a movie about a kid. and all the conflicting emotions of childhood, as represented by the different "wild things" in his imagination, who each had their own personality and temperment but were all a part of him. i thought it was a masterpiece.

also, i should say that my picks in here aren't necessarily who i think should win these awards, just films and people who are getting overlooked. for example, avatar is my best picture pick and inglourious basterds is probably next after that. but those films got nominations and buzz, whereas WTWTA has gotten completely overlooked (even in the music category, which i think is egregious).

HA! ... If only for the fact that he tells an American tourist to kiss his sweaty balls (and for any other amount of amazing dialogue that Scottish people have in that movie)

Waltz did a fantastic job in Basterds, so that's an obvious one.

As for the 'surprise'?

You mean to tell me that of all these year end lists for the major awards are leaving off Zach Galafanackis from The Hangover? Really? He deserves to be at *least* mentioned.

if anything was award worthy about that film, it was him.

I'm in the minority in saying I found Hollander funnier than Capaldi.

>I'm in the minority in saying I found Hollander funnier than
>Capaldi.

Yeah he was waaaaaaay more subdued but he got off some great zingers too. Capaldi got off to a great start but his act started to wear thin towards the end. David Rasche deserves a mention to. Can't recall what his catchphrase was but he was consistently crackin me up as well.

Everytime he shit talked to Anna Chlumsky, I was on the fucking floor.

i thought he was the standout performance of the film, while renner was a bit jack bauer at times. i'm surprised mackie has gotten pretty much no buzz.

1. Christoph Waltz – Inglorious Basterds
2. Alden Ehrenreich - Tetro
3. Anthony Mackie – Hurt Locker
4. Zach Galifianakis - Hangover
5. Christian Bale – Public Enemies

and Peter Sarsgaard too.
