De jaarlijkse prijzenregen

Tussen nu en de uitreiking van de Oscars op 5 maart 2006 delen in de VS verschillende kleine groepen hun eigen prijzen uit, zowel critici als filmmakers zelf. Ik zal hier een aantal van die prijswinnaars posten (de nominaties zal ik grotendeels overslaan, tenzij iemand daar ook in geïnteresseerd is), al dan niet voorzien van mijn eigen, totaal ongefundeerde mening. Of aan de hand van die prijzen de Oscars zijn te voorspellen, wordt elk jaar druk besproken en berekend.
Zorg dat je erbij hoort! Praat hier mee!

Natuurlijk nemen we de Oscars niet serieus, we vermaken ons er alleen mee (en we worden graag kwaad als de verkeerde wint).

Oh, en ik ben met SoK eens dat Pulp Fiction heeft gewonnen wat hij verdiende en Sin City verdient ook niet echt een acteer-Oscar.

Deze vind ik zelf wel leuk, ze richten zich op independent films dus niet één-op-één met de Oscars te vergelijken, maar toch aardig.

Op maandag 12 december 2005 21:50 schreef Sokolsky het volgende:
Wat zijn de Golden Sattelites?

Een beetje niksige awards van mensen die denken dat Chronicles of Narnia een animatiefilm is en Munich nog niet hebben gezien.

Oh, en ik lees nu dat één van de criteria voor de Spirits is dat de film niet meer dan $20 miljoen gekost heeft.
