Thanks for all the nominations. I'm a little disappointed about not getting either a Best Supporting Actor or Best Author nomination but whatever. Congrats to everyone nominated this month.

congratulations everyone! and good luck!

i just wanted to ask 1 question:

what is the- 'Shameless Oscar-Vehicle' award given for?

thank you and good luck!

Eyal

"Democracy was built by the Greeks, but politics- by Americans."

"Super Tuesday"
coming this September....

Thanks for the nominations, guys! And good luck this month!
COngratz Tony for all those nods!

Thank you for the nomination, all be it was guaranteed, for best adapted screenplay. Congrats to all the nominees.

Eyal- Shameless Oscar-Vehicle is given to the baits that the concept is something the academy would for. So a World War 2 love story would be considered a Shameless Oscar-Vehicle.

Thanks for the noms, that's insane. Congrats to the rest as well including Film Club and Chateau Marmont for being the king of the crop this month, and scary competition.
