I agree with the choices for these awards more than some of the oscars! I'm so glad Sweeney Todd got best Horror movie. Good to know that even in today's culture a musical can still do well.

Now that I look at it though, I do feel Stardust should have gotten best Fantasy Film

I question the presence of "There Will Be Blood" (?!) and "No Country for Old Men." Both of which got noms.

Ryan i agree. There Will Be & No Country? i don't get it either.

Enchanted ???? So that's what they call a "fantasy" movie ?? Stardust should have won!! and i love sweeney todd and tim burton is my favorite director ever ... but sweeney is NOT an horror movie...what 'bout 28 weeks later?30 days of night?planet terror?the mist?

CostaPaulo,

Many people, including myself and those INVOLED with Sweeney Todd, do think it is a horror film. A gothic, horror musical.

I'm sorry but anyone who thinks Matthew Fox is a good actor has no cred in my opinion. I can also think of many shows on television that are better than Lost. I'm sorry if this pisses anyone off but I just hate Lost. Now House, that is a good show. And Hugh Laurie is an amazing actor.

I'm really glad Enchanted won. That was an awesome film, I especially liked the animation. Great job!
