I guess you have to ask yourself if you really care what a bunch of people in Hollywood think is important.

Actors are actors because they don't have any other marketable skills. Their skills rate slightly above Models, and slightly below Stand-Up-Comedians (since *they* actually write their own material). If they had any real talent, they would be in theatre, where there is no ADR, no retakes, no CG, (ie: no Post Production)!

And if actors all want to move to the coast, and band together and call their work meaningful and important...

What-ever. No different than if a bunch of avid role-playing-gamers decided to move to Duluth, MN and look back over the year 2005 in review. I can see the awards now...

Best L.A.R.P. Death
Best Dungeon Trap
Best Dungeon Puzzle Room
Best New Monster
Best Elvish Character Name Not Swiped From LOTR
Best Female Gamer in A Non-Traditional Role Play
Best Sci-Fi Roleplay Game Plot
...You get the idea

As far as comparing movies, it is so subjective the concept doesn't even make sense. Was the Sound Design in Memoirs of a Geisha better than King Kong?

Please.

It is very American to want to pick The Best from all the categories. This is because Americans are very Simple, and *The Best* is a concept for them that is easy to understand. One Winner. Everything else = Loser.

I would rather see a year in review, where they touch on all the movies released, the good and the bad. The High-Budget Blockbusters and the Low Budget Independents. No need to proclaim any of them Winners or Losers. Show me the highlights and lowlights and the memorable performances; that is entertainment.

But showing me what top three of anything that Hollywood thinks is important?

I couldn't care less.

BTW: Isn't California supposed to slide into the ocean any day now? Man, it's taking for-ever...
