Anton Yelchin | Report this post to moderator

I'm wondering if Anton Yelchin was actually nominated for his performance in Terminator Salvation and not Star Trek. I'm too lazy to look it up.

Just saying...

It's great for Trek to be nominated for awards --- and to receive them --- but let's take this with a grain of salt. A big one. FAST AND FURIOUS and T4 are also among the nominated films. Both were brutally bad ... and TREK is essentially being compared to them. They weren't even in the same league as TREK.

  The PCAs aren't quality-based, they're popularity based (and that doesn't completely mean box office, either). So based on that criteria I'd say Twilight is probably Trek's biggest rival here.
  
  They're also prone to vote-splitting. A couple years back Doctor Who and Battlestar Galactica were nominated for Favorite Sci-Fi series, but Stargate Atlantis ended up winning and I believe it was due to a split vote between BSG and DW. So if Trek and Twilight end up splitting the vote we could see something like Terminator come up the middle...

    Speaking of Twilight. Am I the only one who REEEAAAALLY wants to see a Twilight/Blade crossover film? I just think it would be great to see twinkling, gay vampires being cut down by Wesley Snipes.

    Frankly, I can't believe people would vote for T4. Who??? It bombed at the box office, was completely substandard in terms of plot, acting, storytelling and logic, and it basically destroyed the level of quality that Cameron and Mostow established. It essentially did the same thing that Anderson has done with the Alien vs. Predator films. Take a great franchise, dumb it down, make it PG, crap it out and put it on screen. And yet still people vote for it.
    
    I would love to rerelease the original films on the big screen (Alien, Aliens, Predator)to show them what low quality we're getting nowadays.

To JJ Abrams and Bad Robot Team | Report this post to moderator

Congratulations to Mr JJ Abrams, Mr Orci, Mr Kurztman and the cast and crew of the new Star Trek movie for a job well done and for producing an exciting movie, which I am sure, will collect many awards in the future. We at TrekWeb salute them for revigorate a franchise that was dying and turn it into the hottest property in Hollywood, bring new fans for the fandom and bring back old fans like me, that have lost their interest in the franchise. Thank you very much,

Gustavo

People's Choice Awards picked "Home Improvement" over " | Report this post to moderator
By: Muldfeld (Odo's file, contact) @ 20:27:57 on Oct 20, 2009

back in 1993, if I remember correctly. Even as a tween, I knew Seinfeld was subtle, inventive and just incredible compared to the cliche, machismo-ladden, working-class style humor of that piece of crap winner.

People ('s Choice Awards) suck. Never forget that.

  {sarcasm}Yes, yes. We know. We know. Things like being nominated for awards, making a ton of money, and being liked/loved by critics, general audiences, and the majority of the existing fanbase are CLEARLY all signs that the movie's terrible.{/sarcasm}

  Seinfeld inventive? name ONE thing that was on there that you hadn't already observed or talked about with your buddies, i grew up in Canada and understood everything in it. It was mildly amusing but hardly genius...not much better if better than Home Improvement.
  
  Ya Home Improvement did appeal to the working class but that does not make it bad, only elitist's would think the working class is "dumb"(which is what you imply), it was well written for a cookie cutter sitcom.
  
  Its ironic that elitists who are sci-fi fans, that insist the academy awards are the only true measure of a movie, will never ever see their favourite movie win one.

    I really enjoyed the first few seasons of Home Improvement - but ultimately feel that show was on TV too long.

      ....Tim trashes the house or does something completely insensitive towards his wife and she gets ticked. Then he cluelessly goes to his neighbor and gains some enlightenment.
      
      Then he goes home and talks to her, completely botching the advice and she just rolls her eyes and all is right with the world again.
      
      That was a great episode.

    I think that's the point. Seinfeld took everyday situations that other sitcoms glossed over and proved that every day minutae can be hilarious and witty.

    Just because our "favourite" movies make the most money, doesn't mean they are the best. Will Farrell tripping over furniture and Megan Fox dry-humping a motorcycle might lure in big box office, but those films hardly come close to the genius of Kubrick and the other masters of film. The Academy Awards are there to reward good art, not neccessarily good box office.
