Borat was funny BUT
Little Miss Sunshine was an awesome movie. It should have won the golden globe award in my opinion.
What movies won that you were not pulling for?

1. Not a movie, but I wanted "Big Love" to win Drama Series
I agree Little Miss Sunshine was very good.

"Did I mention I'm the preeminent Proust scholar in the U.S.?"

2. They had to give Borat something
Little Miss Sunshine had other awards. This was the only one Borat really had a chance for. It was too funny of a movie to get shut out.

6. Oh... Ouch!
Oh well, I thought Borat was the funniest movie I had seen in years. It deserved something.

I'm sure LMS will win something at the Oscars.

7. Borat was funny - LMAO'd all the way through it
Edited on Thu Jan-18-07 11:46 PM by Ava
my favorite scene was -

Borat: What kind of dog is this?
Zookeeper: It's a tortoise.
Borat: Is it a cat in a hat?
Zookeeper: No... it's a tortoise ... in a shell.


:rofl:


Still think Little Miss Sunshine should have won though.... *sigh*

9. I loved the part where he goes to the yard sale...
... and demanded that the "gypsy" give him her tears, or he would take them from her.

3. Little Miss Sunshine was good but flawed. *spoiler*
particularly with that Weekend at Bernies tangent that it went on.

8. Volver
IMHO was the best film of the year. Penelope Cruz was awesome in that film. I have always loved the films of Pedro Almodóvar. Volver was great, but his most overlooked film, and my personal favourite was "Women On the Verge Of a Nervous Breakdown". The man is a genuis.

11. I found his "Dark Habits" (Entre tinieblas (1983) to be hilarious too.
Disregard the relatively low rating for it on imDb. It's very funny, especially if you like "nun humor" such as "Nunsense" etc.
