  3. Ahah, fun list here Josh! I'm not surprised to see Sandler for The Wedding Singer, I actually like that movie. As for Shia LaBeouf, I actually think he's a decent actor, he lost his way for a while but hey, he seems to be making a comeback. Everyone deserves a second chance.

    1. Thanks Ruth! I've always been a fan of Shia as an actor, so I'm thrilled that he seems to be turning his career around.

  4. Great list! I recently watched Nashville, and god... what a film. Perfect in every single way. That final scene was one of the best I've seen in my lifetime. I have never been a big fan of country music, but I enjoyed the songs from the film!

    I'm also happy there's Zooey Deschanel and Julie Delpy here, I love those two songs.

    1. Thanks! It's a great film, and one of Altman's best. The songs work so well in that movie.

      Deschanel's and Delpy's songs are great, and I love getting to nominate actors or directors in other categories.
