Well Gang, I hope that you enjoyed your holidays and got some rest. From here on out it is a sprint through awards season. The nominations have continued with both the Producer's Guild and the Director's Guild announcing their nominees this week. Next week brings us the Writer's Guild nominations and both the Critic's Choice Awards and the Golden Globes. We'll finally have some winners to declare along side our nominees. Good stuff.
Some random trivia before we get to the updated leaderboard....
- The Producer's Guild has opted to move forward with 10 best picture nominees to be consistent with the Academy Awards this year
- The American Academy of Motion Picture Arts & Sciences last nominated 10 movies for the Best Picture award back in 1943. The movie that won was Casablanca.
- The Golden Globes is being hosted this year by Ricky Gervais (who has been the best part of the telecast for the last three years or so). The last time the Golden Globes had a host was in 1995 when Forrest Gump took home the award for Best Motion Picture - Drama.
And now to the updated scoreboard. We did some slight movement in the nominations this week, but since the Producer's Guild was so generous with their nominations, most players received at least two points. My heart goes out to the Studios who chose to ride The Road and The Lovely Bones all the way as those have simply not panned out yet this year.
Name / Nominations / Points
Danny Sarnowski / 27 / 54
The Dekkers / 16 / 32
Paul Hogseth / 15 / 30
Ann Sarnowski / 12 / 24
Scott Engroff / 11 / 22
Jake & Rachel / 10 / 20
Erin & Steve / 9 / 18
Dan Pavlovich / 8 / 16
Jimmy Gordon / 5 / 10
That's it for now folks. We'll check in next week with an update following the Writer's Guild nominations and then ride into the weekend with the Critic's Choice and Golden Globe Awards.
Cheers,
Danny.
