[Laney]

kath and kim are going to win every category they are in. i'd like to see double the fist take out kath and kim in the best sitcom but it's not going to happen alas...

[unfrufru]

i wanna know why the fuck strictly dancing is nominated?

[awaywithfairies]

I've just had a thought. I assume that the Regent Theatre is in Melbourne. I wonder if Paul's planning to attend the award ceremony at the end of the month. It would fit in with the possibility of a GUD show at the Spiegeltent (according to Cameron).

[GentleZephyr]

It would be kinda cool to be a member of the AFI.

[Amanda]

This is from an article in last Saturday's Herald Sun:

The awards will be held at Melbourne's Regent Theatre on Friday, October 29, and televised on the ABC the following Sunday at 6pm.

[Renee_Turner]

I'm so relieved that Comedy Inc didn't get on that list. It's a pity I haven't seen most of the nominated films/shows. Go The Scree! (and I would like to reinforce Unfy's WTF with my own RE: Strictly Dancing)

[sooty]

i think its appropriately nominated. It is light entertainment, its popular, its fun. Nothing wrong with it.
And i hope Tom White wins lots of awards. I think Somersault will cleanup though, and I'll eat my proverbial hat if DecoderRing dont win for best soundtrack.

[Munchkin]

Enough Rope will probably kick it's arse though. I really, really don't like Kath & Kim but it's probably going to walk away with a whole heap.

I'd like to see the doco The President Versus David Hicks.

[sooty]

this wont help you, but twas on SBS last nite

sorry this off-topic for the thread, but...
Speigletent peeps don't actually have any GUD dates up. Yet.

[Amanda]

Was looking at the access site and they've announced that Peter Berner is going to be the host of the AFI's.

whooo hoooo
