h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

Voting has starting for the 1st Annual H2G2 Academy Awards over at the H2G2 Film Society
http://www.h2g2.com/A270695
There are three categories Best Picture, Best Actor in a Leading Role, Best Actress in a Leading Role. Let your voice be heard.

There is also a lifetime achievemnet award to be awarded by the academy. Let me know who that should be below.

Vote one, vote all.

The lifetime acievement must go to Sir Connery.

Thanks Menza for being the first to vote in any category. You will recieve the honour of opening one of the evelopes on the night of the ceremony.

Do I get the chance to get accosted by a drunk and have my drink spilt.

We'll see.

Goody, Goody.

I'll certainly second Menza's vote!

I would like to nominate Richard Burton for a lifetime achievements award as he was nominated for the 'original' Oscars seven times but never got one(because he pissed off Daryl Zanuck in the fifties btw...).

IMNSHO it's High Time we did something about that.

Thank you,

TM.

I'd like to nominate Peter Jones (the voice of the Guide) for his sterling work in low-budget smutty films with the "Carry-On" team in the 1960s, his magnificent contributions to "Just a Minute" and the fact that he's so dottled it doesn't matter whether he wins or loses, as he won't remember the next day anyway.

I would like to nominate Augusto Pinochet as best leading actor, for his role in "look who's walikng"

I'm not normally given to hubris & vanity, but I wish to vote for myself in the lifetime achievement award.

Who can ever forget my :-

* the stirring sunsets in An English Patient
* sinking of Leonardo DiCaprio in Titanic
* grand entrance in the Ten Commandments playing Charlton Heston
* technical excellence with coming up with the world in the first
place, therefore by definition having a hand in every classic
production since time began.

I hope my power over life & death won't effect the judges decision

Tut,Tut...honestly, would I do something like that...

- Oh...I also had a hand in Jaws (But not the sequels, they were HIS work).

But do you really exist?

i don't know about you but i exist and i would like to nominate Richard E Grant and Colin Firth for every award

I vote for Stanley Kubrick, as Best Director Veering Wildly From Making The Best And Utterly Crap Movies Category, which I just made up.
Then again, there's always Stephen Spielberg.

Or, (See alphabetical listing.)

you know, I used to know several people who actually cast votes in the academy. Ofcourse I took advantage of them and if there was a movie they hadn't seen they didn't mind just voting for whatver I told them to. Pretty cool, but we had a terrible voting record of what we voted for vs. what actually won.

I must 2nd Augusto Pinochet. They even paid him £500,000 of taxpayers money and a free flight home. Whatever happened to the wheelchair?
Please do not shoot the continuity girl!

if i shot you would you take it personally?

Personally, I take it any way I can get it!

I vote for George Lucas. He invented everything that Hollywood takes for granted when making blockbusters these days.

It all depends as to whether you own a gun, and if you are a better shot than I am.
If you know what a "Model 29" is then you have a fair chance.
If you do not......................
