Put your hands together for <b>jrboy</b>!!

<center>Worst Film of the Year</center>

jrboy: Worst Film of the Year
With over 600 films released in 2008, there were bound to be some bad apples. The year started off with a 300 parody titled Meet the Spartans, a film which only received a 2% on rotten tomatoes. M. Night Shyamalan's The Happening, which opened on the 13th of June, became the director's first R-rated film. It had everything going for it, but as audiences would soon find out, nothing is really happening. After taking a 5 year break from the screen, Mike Myers returned in The Love Guru. The film failed to gather an audience and was out of the top 10 within two weeks. The nominees for Worst Film of the Year are:

The Happening
The Love Guru
Meet the Spartans


...and the winner, or should I say loser is...

Like a boomerang, he's back again: <b>PeterPanfan</b>

<center>Best TV Drama</center>

PeterPanfan: Of the four series nominated, each belongs in its own category. "Desperate Housewives" is about the struggle of six women living in the infamous Wisteria Lane. Each woman, though most are close friends, has their own personal struggle, usually relating to the big problem of the season.

"John Adams", the four part miniseries starring Paul Giamatti and Laura Linney, was about the famous historical figure, and second President of the United States, John Adams.

"One Tree Hill" is next, and while the demographic for this show is teenagers, the characters transitioned from high schoolers to college graduates in one season, after a four year leap. The main characters of the show: Lucas, Brooke, Peyton, Haley, and Nathan, are all leading their own lives, though are all intertwined with each other.

Lastly is the newly cancelled "Pushing Daisies." This whimsical show was about a pie maker, Ned, who, with the touch of his index finger, could bring people back to life. But with each blessing is a curse: The person could only be brought back for one minute, and if they are alive any longer, someone else will die, which is the case when Ned is brought upon a childhood flame, Chuck, who was suffocated on a cruise ship. All four shows are fantastic in their own right, yet only one can win the award tonight.

One more time, the nominees are:

Desperate Housewives
John Adams
One Tree Hill
Pushing Daisies


...And the winner is...

<center>Best Supporting Actress in a TV Series</center>

PeterPanfan: The five nominees in this list of best supporting television actress are all extremely talented actresses. First up is Alyson Hannigan, who provided us with one of television's greatest characters: Willow Rosenberg, the high-spirited lesbian witch, from TV's Cult Hit, "Buffy the Vampire Slayer." Portraying Lily Aldrin Eriksen, Hannigan is just as great and hilarious in this role as she was on Buffy.

Next is Jean Smart, who plays Samantha's mother, Judy, opposite Christina Applegate on ABC's sitcom, "Samantha Who?".

Next is Judy Reyes, who plays the head nurse at Sacred Heart, a teaching hospital, in ABC's "Scrubs."

Last, but certainly not least, is Sarah Polley, who portrayed Abigail Adams Smith, John Adam's first born child, in the miniseries, "John Adams."

Once more, the nominees are:

Alyson Hannigan (How I Met Your Mother)
Dana Delany (Desperate Housewives)
Jean Smart (Samantha Who?)

<center>Best Supporting Actress in a Film</center>

PeterPanfan: The "Best Supporting Actress" category this year includes nominees that have appeared in a wide range of films, including drama, comedy, musical, and action. Starting with Amy Adams, who co-starred in "Doubt", a film that has been nominated for "Best Picture." Amy Adams is featured as a young Catholic nun coping with the gruesome rumor spreading throughout a Christian school.

Next is the hilarious Julie Walters, from "Mamma Mia!", who went through a vast transition from loving and caring mother, Molly Weasley, to hip and wild friend opposite Meryl Streep in the musical comedy romp of the summer.

Kim Cattrall, from the movie sequel to the hit HBO television series, "Sex and the City", is next on the nominees list, playing the outspoken, sexual, and hilarious Samantha Jones.

Maggie Gyllenhaal, who took over the love interest role from Katie Holmes, was featured in "The Dark Knight. Many preferred her over Holmes, saying her acting was superior and more believable.

Finally comes Viola Davis, for "Doubt." For the ten minutes or so she is featured in the film, the impact she had on the audiance was captivating, as the struggling mother who just wouldn't give up.

One more time, the nominees are:

Amy Adams (Doubt)
Julie Walters (Mamma Mia!)
Kim Cattrall (Sex and the City)
Maggie Gyllenhaal (The Dark Knight)
Viola Davis (Doubt)

<center>Best Comedy</center>

PeterPanfan: The contenders for this year's "Best Comedy" award all stand out amongst today's generic comedies, and are all also hilarious, but that's a given.

"Forgetting Sarah Marshall", starring Jason Segal and Kristen Bell, follows the trials and tribulations of a romantic relationship.

"Mamma Mia!", the only musical in this list, follows Meryl Streep and Amanda Seyfried, Streep playing the mother, and Seyfried playing the daughter who is about to get married and has no idea who her birth father is. Colin Firth, Pierce Bronson, and Stellan Skarsgard play the three hilarious possible fathers.

"Sex and the City" the "chick flick" of the season, is a sequel to the hit HBO TV show of the same name, depicting the lives of a group of Manhatten socialites. Starring Sarah Jessica Parker, Kim Cattrall, Cynthia Nixon, and Kristin Davis.

"Tropic Thunder", the "wild" comedy starring Ben Stiller, Jack Black, and Robert Downey, Jr., follows three actors filming a fictional film set in Vietnam.

This leaves us with just five big awards in the Movies category. Before we get to those, though, we'll return to Music to reveal the Best Concert Tour of the Year!

-Aaron

[AwallaceUNC]

Of the eight tours nominated for Best Concert Tour of the Year, I'm happy to say that I saw five of them in person and one on home video (and will likely see another one on home video soon!). Here to present this award, please welcome to the stage one more time, <b>blackcauldron85</b>!

<center>Best Concert Tour</center>

blackcauldron85: When you listen to a song on the radio or a CD, you can only imagine the artist performing the song. But when you go to a concert, you actually watch the artist performing the song. What a concept! I mean, you think that an artist is just a voice, but then, lo and behold!, you see that the artist is actually a person. The artists nominated for Best Concert Tour of the Year had some extremely successful concert tours in 2008. Many people went to the concert expecting to hear songs that they know, but did they expect to learn that the artist is really a person? In the flesh? Yes, you say? Oh, okay…

The nominees are:

Amy Grant - Lead Me On 20th Anniversary Reunion Tour
Amy Grant & Vince Gill - Christmas with Amy and Vince
Hanson - Walk Around the World Tour
Jason Mraz - Music, Magic & Make Peace Tour
Jonas Brothers - Look Me in the Eyes Tour
Jonas Brothers - Burnin' Up Tour
Miley Cyrus - Best of Both Worlds Tour
Reba McEntire & Kelly Clarkson - 2 Voices 2 Worlds Tour



The winner of Best Concert Tour of the Year is…

Wow, five wins for Amy Grant? Pretty impressive from someone I haven't heard from since "Baby, Baby" in 1991.

Wow, five wins for Amy Grant? Pretty impressive from someone I haven't heard from since "Baby, Baby" in 1991.

Apparently she's bigger today than she was then. We must be living under a rock.

[AwallaceUNC]

Wow, five wins for Amy Grant? Pretty impressive from someone I haven't heard from since "Baby, Baby" in 1991.

She would have won 10 in 1991.

-Aaron

[blackcauldron85]

Congratulations to Amy Grant, but I'm disappointed. No offense to Aaron or Amy or anyone who voted for her, but really? How many people here saw her on tour...versus Miley or Jonas Brothers? I personally wanted Hanson to win, but Aaron and I are probably the only ones who nominated them...I'm just confused. Did not many people vote in this category? I don't mean to be whiny or a sore loser, or anything like that- I'm genuinely confused and wondering how many people actually saw Amy on tour. Nothing against her again, honestly, but I thought that we'd have more JB or Miley fans here...or even Kelly Clarkson...I'm so confused!

But, congrats, Amy Grant!
