And thank you Pixote.

I hope no dogs chase you in a river for the whole year.

With one more point (a third-place vote or better), I Don't Want To Sleep Alone would have been among the nominees for Best Non-English Language Film.

Hmm, maybe you would have preferred not to know that... Sorry!

I do admit to watching bad movies that I know will be bad on purpose if only to laugh at them. Personally, if anything other than Epic Movie gets crowned as Worst Movie then I'll just have to console myself with Plan 9 From Outer Space.

The tricky part is convincing me and others to sit down and watch Epic Movie so that we're qualified to vote for it...

There are worse ways to spend your time. Getting shot, learning calculus, roaming around Bed Bath & Beyond.

There were lots of close calls: Once for best picture and Ulrich Muhe and Emile Hirsch for best actor among them.

Great job!

If 300 or Pirates 3 is the worst movie people have seen then they haven't seen many bad movies. There are worse by far (Epic Movie, The Number 23, Ghost Rider, Next), but whatever.

Apparently, we all prefer to watch good movies :)

The only thing I am bummed about is I Don't Want to Sleep Alone not making the cut, I obviously needed to take lobbying seriously :P

How long do I have to watch the 25 movies I haven't seen?

Once again, thanks for your work P&B.
I voted for it.

I knew you had good taste, I just wasn't sure you'd see it in time.  What did you think of it?

That's a kick-ass Ballot!
I miss After the Wedding on it, but then again, I'm glad to see so much love for Sunshine. Can't wait to vote..

After the Wedding was just a single absentee ballot away (*cough* VmSoze *cough*) from earning nominations for Non-English Language Film and Supporting Actor (Rolf Lassgård).

It also was near contention in Ensemble Cast and Supporting Actress (Sidse Babett Knudsen).
