Best Music Video of the Year Dizzee Rascal - Sirens (hands down)

         

BTW Najork: you're probably thinking of Petrol - Cera. I forgot about it until I saw Obtusity's list. NOW I remember what I wanted to nominate for cinematography.

         

Marc: As Grand Poobah #1 of the awards, I'm going to have to disqualify Cornelius "Fit Song".

Also, I'll have to talk with the other Poobahs about "Golden Skans." Its post date was after the end of last year's nominations (Dec 10th), so it may be eligible.

..And if you haven't e-mailed ilovetoeatcandy yet, please e-mail me (info at director-file dot com).

         

otc: Nah, it was urban. Wong Kar Wai style. **Actually, it's that Koop video posted below.

         

Hey Kev, does Lisa Lindley Jones - Step Back count? It was posted this year but I think it was shot last year, no?

         

Eligibility is determined by date of release/antville post date, so yes, it's eligible.

Kev and progosk, you guys should just have a sit down and pick your tops. This has gotten way too crazy. I'm not even voting.

         

Oh. Um. What I meant by the previous post is that I did not know that there were two definitions of incontinent, not that Prog literally or figuratively shit himself.

Apologies, ladies and gents.

         

lusk - don't be silly. kev's done his tops, as have others. you know that's not what this is about. as regards me, i just can't help but love an underdog.
