sorry but I still hate him and his blog.he maybe be a BAMPZS`s fan but his blog is full of haters and he doesn`t do anything for it,he just wants hit.
Being nominated is great. And they get more than one nominations. Congratulations!
71- Passing through:
LOL! Are you kidding me? This has GOT to be the dumbest, yet funniest thing I’ve read yet. ” Make ends MEAT “? Since when is “meat” a verb? Where do you find these morons? The saddest thing is that they’re so sure they’re right, and have no idea how illiterate they are. ROTFLMAO! Thanks for the laugh. :D
Angelina Jolie Nominated for Indie Spirit Award
TUESDAY NOVEMBER 27, 2007
Angelina Jolie is already attracting movie awards attention.
Jolie was nominated Tuesday for a Spirit Award for her role in A Mighty Heart, which was co-produced by Brad Pitt and based on the life of slain American journalist Daniel Pearl.
“She could make any film she wants,” Dawn Hudson of Film Independent, which gives the awards, said after the announcement. “It’s a feat for such a movie star to be so much in that role.”
Jolie, who plays Pearl’s wife, has never been nominated for a Spirit Award, though she won an Oscar and Golden Globe in 2000 for Girl, Interrupted.
Her competition includes Sienna Miller [Interview], Ellen Page [Juno], Parker Posey [Broken English], and Tang Wei [Lust, Caution].
Other nominees included Cate Blanchett [I'm Not There], Don Cheadle [Talk to Me] and Philip Seymour Hoffman [The Savages].
Zach Braff and Lisa Kudrow, both past nominees of Spirit Awards [Braff won for 2004's Garden State], announced this year’s nominees.
“I was a giant fan of The Comeback, her show on HBO, I just loved it so much,” Braff told PEOPLE of Kudrow. “Every free moment I’ve gotten with her today, I’ve been telling her how much I love The Comeback.”
The Spirit Awards, held the day before the Oscars, will air live on IFC on Feb. 23.
I think she’ll for sure get a GG nomination. An Oscar nomination is going to be much tougher.
HELLO, GUYS
CONGRATULATIONS ANGELINA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I AM SO HAPPY FOR OUR GIRL. :)
Los Angeles (E! Online) - Welcome to awards-show season, Angelina Jolie.
Jolie earned her pass to the red carpet with a Spirit Award nomination Tuesday for her turn in the real-life tale A Mighty Heart.

Sienna Miller is trying to be an indie & fashion darling but really her claim to fame is being Jude Law’s girlfriend. Who knew her before that? She’s trying to do a Nicole Kidnman
That being said, congrats to all the nominess. These nominees seem less stiff and more hip than those other awards but I hope they are not trashy like that Sally Field was.
This is such great news for jp fans all over!
Congratulations to the cast and crew of a mighty heart.
I would also like to congratulate all of the other nominees!
Being nominated for any award is awesome. For that alone I’m sure that they are very much grateful.
“It’s always nice to be appreciated for your work,” I think I heard Angelina say something along that line in an RC interview a while back.
Best of luck to all! (Especially those with good reigning in their intentions;hearts) :-)

with all due respect, she was not the only person nominated. People should be the entertainment magazine that it aspires to be. Did they mention all the others? Angelina is one among her peers, celebrate everyone who got noms.
OH AND CONGRATULATIONS TO BRAD AND PLAN B!!!!!!!!!!!! THIS IS A GOOD DAY GUYS. :)
85,they mentioned the others,they are a tab rag,remember
Is Angelina going to wear her brownface to the Spirit Awards like she did in a mighty ****?
Farte farth farttt FARRT!
this is america not cambodia, respect free speech jared.
idjit, there was no brownface. Her jewish co-star was darker than she was! Obviously you did not see the film.

Lay off the crack mofo.
Bravo Angie!!!. Congratulations. Wonderful news!!.
Congrats to Brad and to all the other nominees.
I love this award because its not about box office. It’s about acting.
It so cool where they hold it too. They usually have it by some beach under a tent. How very California.
ignore trolls,lets make it a troll free day,we know that they will come,but lets give them the silent treatment
ha,so true
OMG DO YOU KNOW WHO THEY HAD HOSTING THIS AWARDS SHOW LAST YEAR? SARAH FREAKING SILVERMAN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I’d rather Gigli 10 times straight than listen and watch her unfunny & vulgar self.

well now, that didn’t take long for a troll to slither it’s way here, did it? :lol:
I hope SAra Silverman does not host this show she stincks she is not funny at all
Missing this year is a breakout commercial success like 2006’s “Little Miss Sunshine.” Of the feature and director contenders, only “I’m Not There” has opened, but it’s yet to break the $1 million mark. Of all the nominees, “A Mighty Heart’s” $9 million domestic take is the B.O. leader.
Film Independent will host the awards — which have gone green this year — in typical fashion one day before the Oscars, on Feb. 23 in a tent on the Santa Monica beach. A telecast will air on the Independent Film Channel live (and uncensored) at 2 p.m. PST.
