Chad, Maria, Tara, Jon, David Spade -welcome to my nightmare

8:32 -Chad Michael Murray and Maria Bello. Scraping the barrell are we BFCA? Oh, it's the young actor and young actress thing. Freddie Highmore is so easily going to win this. I bet when they release the vote totals it will be a total landslide. Which I still don't really get. (both Highmore and releasing the totals) He cries and it's touching and all of that (I sound like a dick I know but I just don't think it's anything special. Most actors can cry) but Cameron Bright had a more difficult role and is better. Daniel Radcliffe also deserves points for getting so much better. But maybe that's the Alfonse Cuaron influence more than Radcliffe.



LINDSAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! LOHAN !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!



oh, god what a bad clip. Here's her real competition, Emmy Rossum. Maria knows her as "Emily" -heee. "All I Ask of You" is definitely the best song in Phantom. Though I had to use "Music of the Night" for my quiz at the Film Experience because the lyrics are just unbearabily cheesy. Emmy is GOR-GEOUS tonight. She'll get a lot of photo-play for this in the media I'm sure. Beautiful color dress, etc...



8:39 -Tara Reid and Jon Lovitz? God... I thought Murray and Bello were odd choices. I actually liked Tara Reid in that one Altman movie (Dr. T...) but I hope Lohan takes a good look at her and thinks; maybe I should stop partying. Please Lindsay please. Pull it together.



8:45 -That speedy clip thing doesn't really work on Million Dollar Baby. It's rhythms are inappropriate for the quick montage. Too bad. I don't love the movie but it deserves a better edited clip reel.



8:46 -Jamie Foxx is NOT a supporting actor. This is so irritating. I predicted this was going to go with Morgan Freeman and I think it will. But Clive Owen is there and he is amazing in Closer so I'm pulling for him truth be told. Peter Sarsgaard is just hot in a really non-hot way. Good in Kinsey too. Wow, it's a Sideways sweeper thing... Ooh, that cutaway to Sarsgaard and Gyllenhaal. They did NOT look pleased, sort of "we're so over this..." Nice speech. Sincerity is cool.



8:49 -Bring out the dead. OK this is funny. No. David Spade again. Are they really trying to make me hate them EVEN MORE THAN I ALREADY DO (it's apparently possible though it surprises me as much as it does you.
