That's five noms for me. Save me reading the whole thread and let me know if I have more.

 

[SteveGon]

Actually, that's three noms! I already tossed Memento back when Kissygirl nominated him. Also, I'm not sure about Porter (only saw it once) or State of Grace (still haven't watched the DVD).
Man, I can't believe some of the great noms that haven't even been seconded - some of the best performances ever aren't even gonna make it in. :frowning:
You people need to watch more movies! Stay home from work, don't go to school, do whatever you gotta do. Just watch more movies...
