    The 2008 MTV Movie Award Nominees

    Time for my break down...usually I'm pretty solid on this. BEST MOVIE -- Juno (Fox Searchlight Pictures) -- Transformers (DreamWorks SKG/Paramount Pictures) -- Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End (Walt Disney Pictures) -- I Am Legend (Warner Bros. Pictures) -- Superbad (Sony Pictures) -- National Treasure: Book of Secrets (Walt Disney Pictures) Should win: Only three of these I can make a solid argument for (Juno, Superbad and I Am Legend) and frankly in my honest opinion it's really down to Superbad and I Am Legend, but don't get me wrong Juno wasn't too shabby and was very enjoyable but after a few viewings you can see some of the pretentiousness seep out. What the MTV morons...er...viewers will vote for: Again, to me this is a push between Juno, Superbad, and Pirates but I would give Juno the edge. BEST MALE PERFORMANCE -- Will Smith -- I Am Legend (Warner Bros. Pictures) -- Shia LaBeouf -- Transformers (DreamWorks SKG/Paramount Pictures) -- Denzel Washington -- American Gangster (Universal Pictures) -- Matt Damon -- The Bourne Ultimatum (Universal Pictures) -- Michael Cera -- Juno (Fox Searchlight Pictures) Should Win: I'd say if this was based upon actual acting, it's a toss up between Will and Denzel, with Will winning based upon the dramatic exercise. What the MTV morons...er...viewers will vote for: Either Cera (who I felt was completely underused in Juno and should be up for Superbad) or Shia BEST FEMALE PERFORMANCE -- Ellen Page -- Juno (Fox Searchlight Pictures) -- Keira Knightley -- Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End (Walt Disney Pictures) -- Katherine Heigl -- Knocked Up (Universal Pictures) -- Amy Adams -- Enchanted (Walt Disney Pictures) -- Jessica Biel -- I Now Pronounce You Chuck & Larry (Universal Pictures) Should Win: This category is really weak, but I would go with Page or Amy Adams as a darkhorse. What the MTV morons...er...viewers will vote for: Ellen Page BEST VILLAIN -- Johnny Depp -- Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street (DreamWorks SKG/ Warner Bros. Pictures) -- Denzel Washington -- American Gangster (Universal Pictures) -- Angelina Jolie -- Beowulf (Warner Bros. Pictures/ Paramount Pictures) -- Topher Grace -- Spider-Man 3 (Sony Pictures) -- Javier Bardem -- No Country For Old Men (Paramount Vantage/ Miramax Films) Should Win:Bardem, only because Depp and Denzel's characters were really more seen as anti-heroes. And Angelina and Topher were meh. Plus, the airgun gets major props. What the MTV morons...er...viewers will vote for:Johnny Depp BEST COMEDIC PERFORMANCE -- Johnny Depp -- Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End (Walt Disney Pictures) -- Adam Sandler -- I Now Pronounce You Chuck & Larry (Universal Pictures) -- Jonah Hill -- Superbad (Sony Pictures) -- Seth Rogen -- Knocked Up (Universal Pictures) -- Amy Adams -- Enchanted (Walt Disney Pictures) Should Win: It's a toss up between Hill & Rogen, both were good. What the MTV morons...er...viewers will vote for:We may see a tie, between Rogen & Hill BEST FIGHT -- Matt Damon vs. Joey Ansah -- The Bourne Ultimatum (Universal Pictures) -- Tobey Maguire vs. James Franco -- Spider-Man 3 (Sony Pictures) -- Hayden Christensen vs. Jamie Bell -- Jumper (20th Century Fox) -- Sean Faris vs. Cam Gigandet -- Never Back Down (Summit Entertainment, LLC) -- Chris Tucker & Jackie Chan vs. Sun Ming Ming -- Rush Hour 3 (New Line Cinema) -- Alien vs. Predator- Aliens vs. Predator -- Requiem (20th Century Fox) Should Win: Bourne What the MTV morons...er...viewers will vote for: Fuck it...but I'll go Spidey & Goblin v. 2 BEST KISS -- Shia LaBeouf and Sarah Roemer -- Disturbia (DreamWorks SKG) -- Amy Adams and Patrick Dempsey -- Enchanted (Walt Disney Pictures) -- Daniel Radcliffe and Katie Leung -- Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix (Warner Bros. Pictures) -- Ellen Page and Michael Cera -- Juno (Fox Searchlight Pictures) -- Briana Evigan and Robert Hoffman -- Step Up 2 The Streets (Touchstone Pictures) Should Win: Who cares, but I'll go Page & Cera What the MTV morons...er...viewers will vote for: Page & Cera BREAKTHROUGH PERFORMANCE -- Zac Efron -- Hairspray (New Line Cinema) -- Seth Rogen -- Knocked Up (Universal Pictures) -- Jonah Hill -- Superbad (Sony Pictures) -- Michael Cera -- Superbad (Sony Pictures) -- Chris Brown -- This Christmas (Screen Gems) -- Nikki Blonsky -- Hairspray (New Line Cinema) -- Megan Fox -- Transformers (DreamWorks SKG/Paramount Pictures) -- Christopher Mintz-Plasse -- Superbad (Sony Pictures) Should Win: Rogen, but solid arguments for Hill and Cera What the MTV morons...er...viewers will vote for:Could be another package deal with Hill, Cera and Mintz-Plasse and Rogen for good measure but Zac Effeminate I mean Efron is a very solid darkhorse BEST SUMMER MOVIE SO FAR -- Iron Man (Paramount Pictures/Marvel Entertainment) -- Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull (Paramount Pictures/Lucas Films) -- Sex and the City: The Movie (New Line Cinema) -- Speed Racer (Warner Bros. Pictures) -- The Chronicles Of Narnia: Prince Caspian (Walt Disney Pictures/Walden Media) Should Win: First off a great big FUCK YOU to MTV for this asinine category. Second of all, I find it interesting that 2 of the 5 are Paramount films (which makes it a loaded categories for the conglom's tentpoles), why not add the shitstorm called "The Love Guru" and rename the category Best Viacom Distributed Summer Movie of 2008. With all that said, the money is on Iron Man or Indy, more than likely the latter. What the MTV morons...er...viewers will vote for: Indy or Iron Man

    Desert Island Draft Thread

    Pop - U2 1997 Since Joshua Tree and Achtung, Baby were taken, I had to go with my 3rd favorite U2 disc. Though critically panned, it was a good album that fit into the electronic current that was overtaking music in that period (1997-98). While my first real exposure to U2 was when my best friend in Jr. High had become obsessed with Joshua Tree, this album hit right when I became a huge fan of the band. Staring at the Sun, Last Night on Earth, and Gone are my personal favorites, but it has some other great songs such as Discotheque, Please and If God will Send his Angels.

    The sports coverage and announcing thread

    He could be in the final throes of alzheimers and babbling incoherently and he would still be the greatest As for the worst besides Joe Buck, I nominate Joel Myers and Stu Lantz who do the Laker games. Talk about robotic boring announcing.

    WWE Raw (4/28/2008)

    It's a Raw ending you'll either really love or really hate. Memo to Vince: David Chase called and he's suing for gimmick infringement.

    The same idiots who thought optioning, lensing and releasing "Baby Mama" was a good idea.

    Grand Theft Auto IV

    Please god let there be an MP3 function. Don't get me wrong there are some good songs on the ST but compared to GTA:SA it is very weak.

    Forgetting Sarah Marshall

    Touche, but this was more of a mature hotness than compared to all the years playing Jackie on "That 70's Show"

    Forgetting Sarah Marshall

    I just got back from a showing and it was great. Segal wrote a great script, but Hader stole it for me. Oh and Mila Kunis was gorgeous in this.

    MMA Comments that Don't Warrant a Thread

    I kinda dig the early PPVs every once in a while, especially because the bar I go to is damn near empty for the live feed.

    A New Stereophonic Sound Spectacular - Hooverphonic 1996 What would be their only album recorded with original vocalist Liesje Sadonius, the Belgian band's debut would be exactly as it is titled. Songs like "Inhaler", "2 Wicky", and "Plus Profound" have a decadent feeling to them. One of the things with Hooverphonic is that while they lost Sadonius before the release of the album, they did find a great replacement in Geike Arnaert. Overall, the biggest compliment I can extend to this album is that it exudes pure sex.
