This Sunday June 1, the MTV Movie Awards will strike again and while they aren't the most prestigious awards around, they at least get creative with their nomination categories. My favorite: Best Kiss.
Here are the nominees:
- Amy Adams and Patrick Dempsey, Enchanted
- Briana Evigan and Robert Hoffman, Step Up 2 the Streets
- Shia LaBeouf and Sarah Roemer, Disturbia
- Ellen Page and Michael Cera, Juno
- Daniel Radcliffe and Katie Leung, Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix
I would love it if Ellen Page and Michael Cera won and then reenacted their kiss during the acceptance speech.

Recently the filmmakers behind the upcoming Incredible Hulk movie held a panel discussion at the New York Comic-Con to promote the film to its key audience: fanboys. When director Louis Letterier declared the musical score for Hulk was, "Star Wars good" he reportedly got booed by the audience.
It cracks me up that, to a certain group of fans it is sacrilegious to ever suggest anything is as good as (or — gasp!

The award-winning movie Atonement, one of my top ten movies of 2007, is coming to DVD today. As I've said before, I so loved the experience of watching this film that it definitely deserves a second (or third) viewing. Therefore, I'll certainly be adding the Atonement DVD to my film library.

Every week up until the Oscars, I'll be featuring the nominees in the various visual categories. This week, I'll be looking at the nominees for Best Art Direction, which encompasses the entire look and feel of a film from the scenery to the lighting. Yesterday I featured production stills from Ridley Scott's darkly evocative American Gangster, and today I bring you images from Atonement.

No Country for Old Men and There Will Be Blood led the field this morning when the Oscar nominations were announced in Hollywood. Each film snagged eight nominations, including Best Picture, Best Director, and Best Adapted Screenplay.
After it raked in a huge number of Golden Globe nominations, Atonement made less of a splash here, scoring nods for Best Picture and Best Supporting Actress but largely getting shut out of other major categories.

The British Academy of Film and Television Arts has announced the 2008 nominations, which largely mirror the Globe noms — though there's (unsurprisingly) even more love for Atonement on the other side of the pond. The romantic Joe Wright-directed drama leads the nominations with a whopping 14, while No Country for Old Men and There Will Be Blood each nabbed nine. La Vie en Rose is another favorite, as is The Bourne Ultimatum, which is one of the few major departures from other recent award nominations.

Diving Bell took home awards for Best Foreign Language Picture and Best Director for Julian Schnabel.
