I found an interesting post!
Here’s an excerpt;
Just as the music industry had it’s comfy, soulless, profit-raking, creatively-void existence shaken out of it’s tree, so too the film industry started to feel their profits shrivel in this freshly democratic media landscape. It seems innovation and profit didn’t necessarily go hand in hand though as the massive film production companies tried to plug the gaps with endless remakes, 3D tomfoolery and crap loads of marketing driven genre dirge. If anything it was a decade of extremes, as the mainstream became more generic and formulaic so there were the occasional glittering gems shining through the shinola, that kicked against the tide and were all the better for it.
They talk about Hollywood remakes, Indies and International films~~~
One thing to note, there aren’t any Asian films… like you know, Memories of Matsuko, 3-Iron, Oldboy, In the Mood for Love, All About Lily Chou Chou, Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon, Battle Royale, Nobody Knows, Still Walking, etc.

This seems VERY open. It’s Asian, and it’s also Hollywood… so it seems like my kind of award. Funny thing is that some of those nominees seem very off and certainly kind of random.
For example the historical film The Founding of a Republic is… nominated for Best Comedy? OMG, is that ironic? Also… Inglourious Basterds didn’t make it to Best 2009 Film (even though you can vote for “other” and add it), and Bigelow didn’t make it to Best 2009 Director…
Anyway, some of the nominees in the international bits include usual suspects Avatar, The Hurt Locker, District 9, A Prophet, and Inglourious Basterds~~~ even Peru’s The Milk of Sorrow. xD
The Asian nominees include Mother, Thirst, Air Doll, Red Cliff, Ponyo, Forever Enthralled, Nobody to Watch Over me, Jackie Chan, Takeshi Kaneshiro, Eason Chan, Rain, Maggie Cheung, Gong Li, etc.
Some of the unusual categories include Best Asian Entertainer in Hollywood, Best Asian Movie of the Decade, 10 Best Asian Actors and Actresses…

These were announced on December, LOL
And I didn’t even post on 2008 xD
But the Satellite Awards were out, sadly Toni Collete lost Best Actress Comedy in favor of Lea Michelle on Glee. And Toni lost her SAG nod… that means I got 2/4. Damn.
Anyway, I dunno how popular the Satellite is, but they do have some wacky choices.
First of all, there was no Avatar. Praise Geezus. LOL
These are the Top10 2009 Films according to them:
- (500) Days of Summer
- A Serious Man
- An Education
- Bright Star
- Inglourious Basterds
- Nine
- Precious
- The Hurt Locker
- The Stoning of Soraya M.
- Up in the Air

and the winner is…
big omissions, in my opinion, for character sets where Alvin gets a nod instead of Where the Wild Things Are… However, there were some that got nominated, even if they didn’t win. WtWTA for “Serious Tagline”, Watchmen for “Character Set”, The Lovely Bones, Star Trek and Up in the Air for “Bravest Poster”, Adam for “Funny Tagline”, and 500 Days for “Best Poster”.
Obviously, Antichrist won Creepiest Poster LOL
And kudos to the Best Motion Poster, pretty cool.
check out the nominees and winner at the IMPAwards Site.

I’ve seen a lot of films, but somehow it still feels I haven’t seen enough.
This is the last day for everyone to send me their nominations for the Experiment Awards.
