And the sad part is that Summer really did give an award winning performance.

Well I know the folks at the official site message board were planning an ad, but I don't know if this was theirs.

I have been meaning to ask if any Oscar noms would help with a sequel in real terms. I know we all think so but do we have any industry types around who could speak to this?

PS: Isn't "chindi" Navajo for spirit?

Original Screenplay
Original Score
Editing
Costuming
Visual Effects
Production Design

and of course, Best Lead Actor (for our Mr. Reynolds)

Wouldn't it have to be "Adapted Screenplay" since it was based on a previously produced project (alliteration!)?

As far as acting goes, I feel both Nathan AND Summer should get nods.

They were brilliant, I thought!

First night watching, I was thinking "I wonder if this could get Oscar nominations?"

It would be great if we got some Golden Globe awards!!

Maybe we can get them to change the category to Big Damn Screenplay, Big Damn Movie, or Big Damn Actor/Actress. What do ya think?

I would say the odds are against us winning any awards, but hell, when have the odds not been against us?

I would gladly donate cold hard cash to a "For Your Consideration" ad in Variety. If anyone decides to organize such a campaign, post a thread here @ FFF.net & I'll contribute.

I'm just a poor student but I'd contribute some cold hard cash to anything that might raise the profile of the movie.

I honestly, truly believe that Joss deserves Best Director. I mean, just look at some of those shots!

OK.. this is most encouraging fellow travellers.. we really DO need an industry insider to tell us if we would be pissing the Studio off to do such an ad (then we would factor that into our final decision!! LOL)

We got someone who has offered to do the artwork- MOST shiny, and thanks...

I am SURE we can pull together enough $$$.

I will check on ad prices and post later- if ANYONE has industry contacts... or if Joss or anyone connected is reading... let us know if we would be doing more harm than good.. otherwise, I think we mean to misbehave!

As for the areas for consideration... Hell, I say we list all that apply.. but know that IF we got noms, they would likely NOT be in the sexier (tho well deserved) areas...

I think I hear the happy sound of little feet in combat boots dancing away!

Stay tuned....

(which is a spirit of sorts.. tho somewhat malicious in the tradition.. one that definitely misbehaves.. well spotted.)

ETA: One time ad prices range from $8,000.00 for a full page to $2,600.00 for 1/4 page. This is B&W only. Price goes up for color of course.

1/2 page costs $4800.00
