SERENITY's Oscar connection
Tuesday, January 31, 2006

Hey all

Well, the nominations for this years Oscars came out this morning, and to no one's surprise, SERENITY was completely shut out. But upon looking closer at the list, one can see a connection to SERENITY that almost makes up for the shut out.

Joss Whedon may have written and directed the movie. But the producer of the film (basically the guy that brought everyone that made SERENITY the movie it is together in one place) is Barry Mendel. Even though he's not as well known as say Jerry Bruckheimer, Joel Silver or Scott Rudin, he's produced some high quality (RUSHMORE, THE ROYAL TENENBAUMS) and big grossing (THE SIXTH SENSE, UNBREAKABLE) films.

And this morning, along with Steven Spielberg and Kathleen Kennedy, he got nominated for the Best Picture Oscar for co-producing MUNICH, another really powerful and great film.

So while it may not be SERENITY officially, it is a sort of nomination by default. So if there's one flick to cheer for at the Oscars, it's MUNICH, although I have to admit that I wouldn't mind seeing BROKEBACK MOUNTAIN win 8 for 8.

I dunno. Maybe if Joss had Jayne or Mal sodomize Simon, maybe it would increase the films chances for Best Picture. Wouldn have at least brought more publicity.

"Maybe if Joss had Jayne or Mal sodomize Simon, maybe it would increase the films chances for Best Picture." OMG! ROTFLMAO! Of course, some of us fangirls might have enjoyed that too much! LOL
