Well, Kelly who do you thing should have been nominated instead of them?
Of course I don’t care about them. I don’t know them.
What I do care about is them, taking noms from other actors who are more deserving.
the dog will get a nom.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY BRAD..
CONGRATULATIONS JP!!
eeerrrrrrr…who is more deserving to u! the manho.
Thank you, Brad and Angie Fan! I’m kind of tickled that I share my birthday with Mr. Pitt :) Can you imagine the festivities at their home today? “Daddy’s Birthday” is a big, big deal! We just celebrated my husband’s birthday this week as well, so we are going through a festivities spree!
On Radar online Kirk Douglas says his greatest ambition is to meet Angie. I don’t know how to post links.
Kelly, did they nominate themselves? So why are you ragging on them for? Rag at the SAGs and the HFPA.
Congratulations Angie and Brad! You deserve it . How cool to be nominated by other actors. Love It!
Happy Birthday Brad! Yayyy! Another candle on your BD cake . Another fullfilling year .. And …What A Great Year It Has Been!
Not once but twice Angie and Brad have been nominated as best actor in 2008. Wonderful!
Cassie,
Ugh, As much as much as it pains me to admit it, I though Leonardo De crapo did a outstanding job in “Revolutionary Road.” Though I don’t care for him as a actor, He did a good job. Same thing with Colin Farrell in, “n Bruges”. Last but not least Phillip Seymour Hoffman was brilliant in “Doubt”. All of them acted rings around Brad.
As for Angie, pick any actress. However, my personal favorite, Sally Hawkins- ” Happy Go Lucky”
Happy birthday, Besane!

+++++++
Actually three times. CCA, GG and SAG.
Please correct me if I am wrong, but aren’t the SAG noms picked by the actors themselves, not like the Oscars noms which are picked by an Academy board? So if an actor is nominated for a SAG award by his/her peers, how does he/she rob other “more deserving” actors of the recognition?
Please don’t change the tone of the thread because of this idiot… It came on here to start a fight. Regardless of what a**holes thinks, BOTH B&A got Best Actor/Actress Golden Globes and SAG noms.
It isn’t even a surprise. We all know that the Winslets, Dicaprios, Jolies, Pitts, and Streeps were going to get nominated this year.
They totally deserve the nomination and the award! Great actors both!
May God bless them!

The Curious Case of Benjamin Button
Running time 159 minutes
Written by Eric Roth
Directed by David Fincher
Starring Brad Pitt, Cate Blanchett, Taraji P. Henson
They saved the best for last. Sure, the end of 2008 produced its share of animated kid stuff. Daniel Craig overcame his James Bond label long enough to prove he can still act, in Defiance (this time as a homeless Jew gamely fighting back in the German forest during World War II). They refused to show Tom Cruise as a Nazi in Valkyrie to the critics (always a bad sign). Clint Eastwood’s return to acting as a bigoted old Korean war vet who finds his heart through the Vietnamese family next door was the only memorable element in the otherwise shmaltzy, sentimental and highly preposterous Gran Torino. And the bloated, overproduced and incomprehensible remake of the sci-fi classic The Day the Earth Stood Still turned out to be a sorry mistake. But when the news is good, it’s simply great. In a year notable mostly for its profligate tossing-around of overrated bores like Happy-Go-Lucky and pretentious, open-sewer trash like Synecdoche, New York, it comes as an act of real holiday season benevolence to bestow upon us, in rapid succession, The Reader, The Curious Case of Benjamin Button and Revolutionary Road. Here are three sensational movies that revive my faith in America’s greatest art form.
Brad Pitt is so pretty that a lot of people forget what an accomplished actor he is. In The Curious Case of Benjamin Button, even his most ardent fans will be unprepared for the physical and emotional power of his range and versatility in the title role of this wrenching, demanding and captivating film experience. Reunited with the gifted David Fincher, who directed him in one of his best films, the dark and creepy noir thriller Se7en, Mr. Pitt tackles an F. Scott Fitzgerald story as fresh and original as it is riveting.
The point in the F. Scott Fitzgerald story and the richly textured, meticulously redacted screenplay by Eric (Forrest Gump) Roth is that everything in life and death is predetermined, and even if you turn the clock backward, you might be able to reverse the order but you can’t change the outcome. Clearly, this is a movie that must be experienced, not explained. From Broadway to Russia, beginning in the Depression and ending when Hurricane Katrina sweeps through New Orleans’ Ninth Ward, this movie is so vast and covers so much ground that any feeble attempt to tell you what happens in it only weakens the impact. It is equally challenging to adequately convey the depth and range of Brad Pitt’s performance. I’ve liked his work since the first time I saw him, in that scene-stealing cameo in Thelma and Louise. Whether it’s great works like Babel or lousy mistakes like Troy and Interview With a Vampire, he always makes bold and adventurous choices, takes admirable risks and never fails to surprise. He’s a good collaborator for director David Fincher; Se7en was only a preview of what they both can do. Brilliantly directed and acted, sumptuously photographed and endlessly fascinating, Button runs nearly three hours, and I never glanced at my watch one time. Unlike the exhausting Australia, it’s an epic that sprawls but never meanders. Through the decades, it changes gears as fast as Brad Pitt changes his appearance, each period of time like a new chapter in a novel you never want to end. Trust me. The Curious Case of Benjamin Button is a monumental achievement—not only one of the best films of the year, but one of the greatest films ever made.
Congrats to Mama Angie

Check out Changeling if you have not seen it. AJ gives an amazing performance.
The constant media spotlight on Angelina Jolie’s private life means her acting talents often take a backseat – but with this stunning performance she should be making headlines for all the right
reasons.
Changeling is beautifully shot and acted by a brilliant cast who make this harrowing tale truly gripping.
Without giving too much away, Eddie Alderson gives an awesomely heart-breaking performance as a boy confessing to his part in the disappearance of missing youngsters. And Jason Butler Harner is truly chilling as his uncle Gordon Northcott who has dark secrets of his own.
In Changeling, directed by Clint Eastwood, Ms Jolie puts in an Oscar-worthy performance which is moving without being melodramatic – in fact her subtlety and naturalness are her strengths in this fascinating tale based on real events.
Love you Brad. You are a fantastic actor. Congratulations to your SAG nomination and Angie’s as well. Happy Happy Birthday.
Jennifer Aniston was on Letterman last night to ***** out that doggy movie and most of the interview was a lukewarm bowl of boring. Aniston interviews should really come with a big injection of speed, because they bring the zzzzzs. The only time the **** she says is kind of interesting is when she talks about you know who. I think Letterman sort of, kind of tried to bring it up by showing Jenny the “uncool” cover. Jenny looked at the thing like it was Saint Angie’s latest ultrasound. I’ve never noticed this before, but Jenny has the laugh of a 65-year-old smoker with a guilty conscience. It’s like when someone asks me if I farted. I give one of those raspy “you so funny, but oh-so-right” laughs.
===
After the Vogue cover, Letterman moved on to her “puppy does Playboy” cover on GQ Magazine. Jenny surprised Letterman by giving him the same tie used for the cover. Yes, she just gave away the tie like that! Saint Angie would’ve blessed it by smearing her holy water saliva all over it. Then she would have auctioned it off for a million dollars and used the money to save the lives of ten thousand orphans! Or Angie would have unraveled the tie and made hundreds of mosquito nets out of it. And Aniston just gave it away like that! Pff!
====
If you care about watching this ****, click here for part 1 and here for part 2 of Jenny’s little chat with Letterman last night.

And below is Jenny outside of Letterman trying to find a man and some available kids. Is it just me or does her dress look like it’s tucked into her chonies?

More and more good news for the Jolie-Pitts. Best of Luck to both of them with all the nominations.
Oh, before I forget, HAPPY BIRTHDAY, besane!!! Lucky you, having the same birthday as Bradley and Katie Holmes (haha, just kidding on the second one)!!!

cassie @ 12/18/2008 at 12:23 pm On Radar online Kirk Douglas says his greatest ambition is to meet Angie. I don’t know how to post links.
======================================================
congrats Brad and Angie. I am proud to be a fan.
It’s curious that Kirk Douglas wants to meet Angie considering that his son Michael Douglas made those nasty remark a few years back. Who could forget him saying ” Who would leave his beautiful wife to go and hold orphans ( referring to Madox and Zahara) somewhere?”. I used to admire him but lost all respect for him at that time.
First of all MD should have minded his business and concentrated on his own personal life where it was widely known that he cheated on his wife multiple times. I don’t like hypocrytical people. His father, Kirk seems to be a decent person though.
…`good for heath - easy win.
~
…`wow… valkyrie vs the curious case of benjamin button… vs the spirit! someone’s gonna get their ass kicked. LOL looks like tom’s going to have a big weekend (again). LOL
