Horrible. Lets just hope The Golden Globes nominations, which will be announced on the morning of December 11th, will be a lot better.

@alluhrey: Are you asking me why I don't have an award show?

This is absolutely ridiculous!
Way to early to do something like this when potentially big films have not even been viewed! stupid.

Check out the New Media section. Nominated in the DVD Extras category is The Assassination Of Jesse James (Widescreen). Where I come from (Region 1) the release is a standard disc with zero additional content related to the film. I guess the trailers for One Missed Call and 10,000 BC were better than I thought.

hhmmm! you rile against their choices just because the IPA doesn't share many of yours…i suspect the only difference between all those who prognosticate on these boards as to who are supposedly most deserving of any artistic merit for the year and the members of the IPA is that the latter actually have the courage to support their pronouncements with an actual award —trophy and all. so why don't you?

It's weird that they have room for six nominations in each category, but some of them are complete jokes, while seriously good performances aren't mentioned at all. Who exactly gets to vote for this stuff? Because I'm pretty sure they did not watch half of the films.

Kabluey? Seriously? I mean, good for them to remember films released more than two months ago, but damn. That's random.

I actually called their hotline and inquired about it; the woman who picked up said that initially she had earned a nom, but then more votes came in and she got bumped off. The woman was then quick to say about how she had voted for Viola and how wrong her snub was.

Go figure

@Chris C.: Really?!?! I hadn't seen that. It seems like such an amazing approach to nominating films... and a completely worthless one if you ask me.

The funniest thing was how Viola Davis was initially nominated, and later in the day disappeared from the list
