(Interesting article about the creative force of BP and AJ. Ignore some snark but overall good article. Never underestimate BP)

It can hardly be a coincidence that two of the most outstanding and wholly atypical Hollywood films of the year - Andrew Dominik’s The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford and Michael Winterbottom’s A Mighty Heart - are both from Pitt’s production company, Plan B. Each film offers a leading role for one of the pair: outlaw Jesse James for Pitt, and Mariane Pearl, the widow of slain journalist Daniel Pearl, for Jolie. In each case they had the opportunity to exercise their acting skills at a consistently impressive level.

The crowd wanted Casey A to win.

well He didn't. @ 11/27/2007 at 5:36 pm

Brad won the award and there is nothing you can say or do to change it.

159 q? : 11/27/2007 at 5:39 pm

Nobody cares. We have tons of real news. I think Angelina sent a statement about her nominations. Concern yourself with finding that out ok.

154 :) : 11/27/2007 at 5:34 pm

I love how you read other people’s minds. LOL!!!!!!

Congratulations to all cast of AMH, specially to Brad Pit and Angelina Jolie. This film deserves all the nominations.

You are right. A little snark, but none the less a good article. People are watching them and what they are doing. Peace.

148 who : 11/27/2007 at 5:24 pm

Oh I wasn’t speaking about anyone in particular. If you take a look in different forums and on different sites that focus exclusively on awards coverage there were some posters who were getting their knickers in a twist over these nominations.

JUST SAYIN @ 11/27/2007 at 5:49 pm

people seems again shitzy is using one of fan`s monikor,this smile poster is not the same smile poster who were here earlier today.just wanna tell you.

Chiwetel Ejiofor, “Talk to Me”, I really like him. He has been in a lot of good movies recently. Congratulations to him also. Peace.

He was great in “Talk to Me’ and American Gangster. He was also good in a British film that I cannot totally recall the name and a HBO movie. He is a very good looking man.

think positive! @ 11/27/2007 at 5:53 pm

A solicitation to the UK fans that are posting here.

Please report back a recap of Brad’s interview. It starts in 10 minutes. It would be appriciated. Thanks!!

JUST SAYIN @ 11/27/2007 at 5:53 pm

and another things,I just came out from PH,we should love that Blog. :lol: he makes each one of haters crazy over there,I just sit back and was laughing my a** at their craziness.It was the most fun I have ever experienced.Thanks Angie and Brad for making haters even more miserable day after day.

broadcastinglive @ 11/27/2007 at 5:54 pm

Get Lisa away from Zach right now! Before he ruins her!

I got to ask.whats a “shitzy”?
When ever there is a negative comment
posted you all seem to blame it on “shitzy”
or famous.According to yall there is
only two to three trolls and if that is
the case they would have to change there
name a hundred and fifty plus times each on
every thread lol Impossible.If there alotta
fans why assume there are not a lot of
nonfans? I am sure alotta fans post under
different names in that case

JUST SAYIN @ 11/27/2007 at 6:04 pm

Hey UK`s fans,we are here,waiting for your recap.
