"Spilled Latte For Your Consideration" Sat Feb-13-10 03:48 AM by Frank Longo
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!

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)

22. "I got an obvious one, and a suprisingly not so obvious one..." In response to Reply # 5
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.
32. "RE: Tom Hollander - In the Loop" In response to Reply # 31
>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.
35. "anthony mackie - the hurt locker" In response to Reply # 5
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.
