I have to say that these nominations are pretty spectacular. I usually try and block out Uwe Boll's and the Disaster-type movies as soon as they come out, but I am happy to be reminded of them on this list. I'm happy to see Keanu and Will Ferrell recognized for their work because those two were some horrible movies, though to be fair it was Keanu's dream role. It's nice to see The Women, The Happening and High School Musical honored, though I am surprised that Cloverfield wasn't nominated in some way. My only negative is that What Happens in Vegas should have more nominations because that movie looked like (solely based on the trailer and poster mind you) everything I hate about movies. I think it's a strong list and I'm excited to see the actual nominees announced in a couple of weeks!
