Well, with the year nearly done, I am preparing the end of year awards (Yes I know I STILL haven't sorted out the Hall of Fame yet). But you might like to start thinking about who you would like to see as nominees in the various categories below. Place your ideas and reasons and you never know they may end up on the final ballot.
Best Film
Best Director
Best Actor
Best Actress
Breakout Star of 2007 (Doesn't necessarily have to be someone new just someone who has had a very good year whose not a established star.)
That's what I figured, but I thought that it could have meant something else in that context. I guess I was just reading too much into it. Reread the post and tell me if that could also mean something else.

Yeah, but I just read it fast and didn't really think until I went back and read it. Sorry, but words like that are not used in my daily life. I think that I deserve a pass here...

LOL...I apoligize for all of us. We really did like your language as it was, but we just had to have something original. I'm sure that you can appreciate that.

I really can't vote in these awards as I've only seen one of the films mentioned! Just a little beef; how can Katherine Heigl be considered a 'Breakout Star'? She has been around for ages! I used to watch her in Roswell a few years ago, and she's been in loads of notable films too (My Father The Hero, Bride Of Chucky, Valentine). I understand a breakout star to be someone new to the film industry that has made a big impact.
Some people can be around for a while before they have that one good year when they really get noticed.
It's like wrestling. Guys can be on the undercard for years before they get that big main event push. Like Edge: his breakout year was 2006 when he became a bona fide main eventer which he wasn't before.
Exactly what MiB just said. I think I mentioned before it's not just someone's 'first' year in movies. It's someone who isn't an A lister per se, but has made a big impact in the year. Shia Labeouf has been around since 1994 in movies and he's been in things like Charlie's Angels, I Robot, Holes, Constantine and Bobby. But this year has been a breakout year for him with big hits such as Transformers, Surf's Up & Disturbia and next year Indy 4. Do understand where we are coming from?
