Woody/Buzz Lightyear

Del Griffith/Neal Page

The problem with so many nominees, is that frankly I look at the list and of those I'm tempted to second, I can't remember who I nominated myself

I'll second:

The Bandit/Cledus "Snowman" Snow

I would second

Adam Bonner/Amanda Bonner, except I probably nominated them

I'll third:

Timon/Pumbaa

Vincent J. Ricardo/Sheldon S. Kornpett, D.D.S.

 

[Jim_K]

Nominate

William Shatner/James T. Kirk & Leonard Nimoy/Spock (Star Trek series)

Lung Ti/Ho Tse Sung & Yun-Fat Chow/Mark Lee (A Better Tomorrow)

Harvey Keitel/Mr. White & Tim Roth/Mr. Orange (Reservoir Dogs)

Robert De Niro/Sam & Jean Reno/Vincent (Ronin)

Yun-Fat Chow/Jeffrey & Danny Lee/Inspector Li (The Killer)

 

[Gabe D]

Woody/Buzz Lightyear
Del Griffith/Neal Page

 

[ChuckDeLa]

I'll second Kirk & Spock.


Kermit the Frog/Fozzie Bear

Del Griffith/Neal Page

 

[Eric_E]

Woody / Buzz
abstain

And I'd like to:
Second:
- David/Teddy (Haley Joel Osment/Jack Angel) A.I.: Artificial Intelligence
- Robert De Niro/Sam & Jean Reno/Vincent (Ronin)

Third:
*Romy White/Michele Weinberger (Mira Sorvino/Lisa Kudrow) Romy and Michele's High School Reunion

 

[Gabe D]

I'll third Dirk Diggler/Reed Rothchild.

 

[LukeB]

Ugh, all my favorites against each other from the beginning. :frowning:

Round 1/Match 3

Woody/Buzz Lightyear (Tom Hanks/Tim Allen) Toy Story series


Round 1/Match 4

Josh/Billy (Tom Hanks/David Moscow and Jared Rushton) Big
(the losing vote)

 

[Elizabeth S]

Del Griffith/Neal Page (John Candy/Steve Martin) Planes, Trains, and Automobiles


Third:

George Milton/Lennie Small (Gary Sinise/John Malkovich) Of Mice and Men

David/Teddy (Haley Joel Osment/Jack Angel) A.I.: Artificial Intelligence

 

[JenB]

I already seconded the Bandit and Cletus so that second should be a third.

 

[ChuckDeLa]

D'oh! That means either Lenny/George or David/Teddy didn't make it in. (if I counted correctly)

 

[Mike Hutman]

Woody/Buzz Lightyear


Del Griffith/Neal Page

 

[Bill J]

Del Griffith/Neal Page

 

[JenB]

Kermit the Frog/Fozzie Bear
Josh/Billy

Both are tough ones

 

[ErikG]

I already seconded the Bandit and Cletus so that second should be a third

Yes that is correct.



The Wild Card list is now complete. Nominations filling the remainig spots:

The Bandit/Cledus "Snowman" Snow (Burt Reynolds/Jerry Reed) Smokey and the Bandit series
Timon/Pumbaa (Nathan Lane/Ernie Sabella) The Lion King
Vincent J. Ricardo/Sheldon S. Kornpett, D.D.S. (Peter Falk/Alan Arkin) The In-Laws
Romy White/Michele Weinberger (Mira Sorvino/Lisa Kudrow) Romy and Michele's High School Reunion
Dirk Diggler/Reed Rothchild (Mark Wahlberg/John C, Reilly) Boogie Nights
George Milton/Lennie Small (Gary Sinise/John Malkovich) Of Mice and Men


Even with 64 entrants and 16 wild cards, a lot of excellent nominations still missed the cut. I think we could add 8 more easily, so I'm going to propose expanding the wild card list to 24. Agree or disagree? I'll let you guys decide.

 

[Ric Bagoly]

Kermit The Frog / Fozzie Bear

abstain (no Planes)

 

[JenB]

I vote to add 8 more wild cards.

 

[ErikG]

I'd like to hear from a few more people on whether or not to expand the wild card list to 24 (seeing that many great noms got left out). A simple yes or no will suffice.



Woody/Buzz Lightyear (Tom Hanks/Tim Allen) Toy Story series just advance 5-4.

Del Griffith/Neal Page (John Candy/Steve Martin) Planes, Trains, and Automobiles cruise to a 9-2 win.



Round 1/Match 5

Fast Eddie Felson/Vincent Lauria (Paul Newman/Tom Cruise) The Color of Money

Round 1/Match 6

Blade/Abraham Whistler (Wesley Snipes/Kris Kristofferson) Blade series

vs.

My picks:
