CRIBBIES VOTERS LET THE "SUNSHINE" IN
Parity Among Top Films; James Bond, Vin Diesel Among Surprise Nominees

The Virtual Crib spread the love in the Ninth Annual Cribbie Nominations, Celebrating Achievement in Filmmaking, Acting and Hotness. While LITTLE MISS SUNSHINE, Jonathan Dayton and Valerie Faris' van-pushing comedy, led all films with nine nominations, an impressive five other films scored more than five noms. The pack of runners-up was led by CASINO ROYALE, the hugely entertaining relaunch of the James Bond franchise, which picked up seven nominations, including Best Actor, Best Picture, and two nominations in the prestigious Get It On categories. "Holy crap, that movie was sexy," commented the Cribbies Administration.

Joining LITTLE MISS SUNSHINE and CASINO ROYALE as Best Picture nominees were CHILDREN OF MEN, Alfonso Cuaron's dystopian drama, which collected seven nominations; Guillermo del Toro's fantastical historical epic PAN'S LABYRINTH, which also collected seven; and Stephen Frears' THE QUEEN, which accumulated six. Martin Scorsese's THE DEPARTED garnered six nominations including Best Director, but showed surprising weakness among the voters; spurned for Best Picture, THE DEPARTED also picked up a nomination in the new category of Worst Fucking Thing, for that fucking rat at the end of the movie.

A total of 33 films were nominated for Cribbies, an impressive total considering how everyone spent the entire nomination period bitching about how they didn't see any movies. Other films that performed well in today's nominations included A SCANNER DARKLY, with four noms including Best Supporting Actress (Winona Ryder); INSIDE MAN, whose three nominations included a Best Director nod for Spike Lee; MARIE ANTOINETTE, with nominations for Best Cinematography and Tastes Great, Less Filling; and TRISTRAM SHANDY: A COCK AND BULL STORY, with three nominations including a prestigious Get It On nod for Kelly MacDonald.

Audible gasps were heard when the Cribbies Administration announced the nominees for Best Actor; betting favorites Forest Whitaker, Sacha Baron Cohen and Richard Griffiths were passed over in favor of Vin Diesel, who played a lawyer with a bad hairpiece in the little-seen FIND ME GUILTY. In a statement, the Cribbies Administration noted that though it has not seen Diesel's performance in the film, Diesel's surprise nomination "is exactly what the Cribbies are all about."

With her ninth and tenth nominations for LITTLE CHILDREN, Kate Winslet remains the most-nominated woman in Cribbies history. Close on her heels are Cate Blanchett and Catherine Keener, who picked up their eighth career nominations for NOTES ON A SCANDAL and FRIENDS WITH MONEY, respectively. Several nominees reached the rare threshold of five career nominations, including Matt Damon, whose fifth nomination (for Best Actor in THE DEPARTED) came as a sweet surprise. "Despite the fact that I gave the best performance in that movie," Damon said in an interview, "everyone fucking ignored me in favor of Leo, and Jack, and goddamn Marky Mark. Marky Mark! This Cribbies nomination is pretty great. Suck it, everyone else." Asked how it felt to be nominated five times in his career -- stretching back to a Best Ensemble Cast nomination for SAVING PRIVATE RYAN in the first annual Cribbie awards, in 1999 -- Damon said it felt great. "I'm proud of all five nominations, with the possible exception of my nomination for Best Bit Part in 2005, when I was nominated as a puppet version of myself who could only retardedly slur my own name, in TEAM AMERICA: WORLD POLICE."

Among the 24 nominees for inclusion in the Cribbies Hall of Awesome are David Bowie, Steve Coogan, Amy Smart, Marky Mark and Fleet Week: The Musical.

So now, it's time to vote! Send Dan your votes before the night of SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 24, 2007 at MIDNIGHT. The Cribbies winners will be announced immediately after those other, less prestigious awards on the 25th.

Thanks to all of you who sent in your nominations. Even if you didn't have a chance to nominate anything, though, PLEASE be sure to vote! It's your participation that makes this fun. And feel free, everyone, to campaign for your favorites -- though it would be swell to keep the family-threatening to a minimum.
