Best New Television Series - The Bionic Woman, (NBC) –
Doubts as to whether anyone could eclipse the impression made by
Lindsay Wagner were soon removed as this century’s Jaime Somers began
kicking a$$ and taking names. A total revamping of the 1980’s
version, the new series is appointment TV.

Best
Sequel Award – The Bourne Ultimatum, Universal Pictures.
Sexiest Man Alive...Uuhh may be...may be not, but Matt Damon ROCKS
as Jason Bourne. The 3rd installment of this series was the most
satisfying of all the summer 2007 blockbusters.
But what’s with the
limited copies of the
The Jason Bourne 4-Disc Collection made
available to Amazon.com-ers. Not only was the studio-mailed copy
mysteriously missing from MOSÆC’s Holiday stocking,
a-faster-clicking Bourne-head pushed the “Buy Now” button before
MOSÆC and nabbed the last copy from Amazon…UUGGHH. Could
someone with decision-making authority please help out the
Bourne-loving, Amazon.com shopping masses?
The
Heir Apparent to Charles Bronson Award – Jodie Foster,
The Brave One (Warner Bros.)
Best
Actress in a Cult Movie - Marcia Gay Harden,
The Mist, MGM Distribution
Company. Forget the spiders, birds, bugs and tentacled creatures in
this flick, the real horror is Gay Harden’s Mrs. Carmody. The
encroaching mist sends this small town woman into a frenzy that
threatens any and all in her path.
Best
Supporting Actress in a Cult Movie - Wanda De Jesus,
Illegal Tender, Universal Pictures. As Millie, a mother of two,
De Jesus portrays a pistol-packing mamma that anyone would want
riding shot gun!

Best Depiction of Male Nudity
- Viggo Mortensen, Eastern Promises, Focus Features. Two words -

Æ Redux - Best
Depiction of Male Nudity - Ving Rhames, Baby Boy, Sony Pictures
(2001). Two words - nice bum (_!_).
Best Depiction of Almost Male Nudity - Ray Winstone, Beowulf, Paramount. Two words - nice striptease ;-).
Best Depiction of Almost Female Nudity
- Angelina Jolie, Beowulf, Paramount. Covered in liquid gold or butt

Recycled
Rhythms Award – “Explosion & Aftermath,” by Harry Gregson-Williams.
Although used in the trailer for A Mighty Heart (starring Angelina
Jolie), this rhythm was originally
created for the soundtrack to Spy Game (2001) (starring Brad Pitt)...
It would be too easy to suggest that Brangelina pillow talk had
anything to do with this recycled rhythm. But it is curious that the
rhythm from a spy flick would be used to promote a film about a
journalist whose day job was with the WSJ, not the CIA. Another
piece of trivia - Harry Gregson-Williams was behind the Mr. & Mrs.
Smith soundtrack where Brangelina was born…Hmmm.
Demand A Refund Award
- Feel
the Noise, TriStar Pictures.
Even watching this for free will have one thinking, “That’s 86
minutes of my life that I can’t get back :-o!” Skip it and buy
anything by a Reggaeton musician instead.
Hall of Shame Award
- Norbit, Paramount Pictures. Eddie Murphy has issues with
full-figured people that are best dealt with in therapy and not on
celluloid.
WTF*CK!
Entertainment Moment of 2007 - The Sopranos (Episode 21: Made in
America), HBO.
Æ Redux - WTF*CK!
Entertainment Moment of 2006 – HBO announces that Season 5 will be
the last season of The Wire and no subsequent announcement is made
of plans to produce a
major
motion picture based on the series.
Best Reality Show
Moment - Best Reality Show Moment - Krystal Lee and
Vanessa Hamilton Smackdown, College Hill - Virgin Islands,
BET
Honorable Mention -
Marie Osmond Faints, Dancing With the Stars, ABC. Watching the
Little Miss Country fade to black was well worth looping.
Best Sports Moment -
US Davis Cup Victory over Russia. Andy Roddick, James Blake and Bob
and Mike Bryan brought the Davis Cup back to American soil after the
US team’s crushing defeat of the Russian Davis Cup squad that
featured the gambling controversy-plagued Nikolai Davydenko. The
Russian mercurial tennis hottie, Marat Safin, was sadly not in
attendance.
“I did not have Steroidal Relations with my
Protégé” Award – Tie – Barry Bonds, San
Francisco Giants and Roger Clemens, formerly of the New York Yankees.
Of course, Marion Jones was in hot contention for this award until
her ‘I’ve been lying and denying for too long and must now ‘fess up’
press conference in October 2007.
Unsportsmanlike
Conduct Award – Michael Vick, Atlanta Falcons – Dog fighting?
Besides being cruel and unusual, it’s so low brow. It’s only fitting
that Vick spends time behind bars for his deeds. Here’s a
suggestions for his parole penance – a 40 hour/week assignment to a
manual pooper scooper detail.
Shoulda, Coulda, Woulda Demeritorious Award - No Country
For Old Men, Miramax. Although the Coen Brothers have
probably crafted a film that is worthy of the accolades that it has
received, apparently the film is only for certain journalists'
consideration as MOSÆC’s rsvp to an awards screening was
rejected. Mentioning that MOSÆC voted for Film
Independent's Spirit Awards and that MOSÆC was considering the film
for its own awards as well as that of a film critics association
comprised of people of color was insufficient for the film's
gatekeepers.
Thankfully, MOSÆC didn’t have to receive its dis in
public after all voicemail is just as effective...LOL...
This is
the No Country Awards Office. Unfortunately, we won’t be able to
allow YOU to screen this film.
My dear and loyal readers please
take YOU to mean the collective you and not just MOSÆC. Register
your displeasure, by dispensing your leisure dollars on another film
and voting for another nominated film on your guild ballots.
But if you must vote or view No Country, please support MOSÆC in
another way. Here are a few ideas:
forward this page to
everyone in your address book - after all old century
gatekeepers need to understand how disrespect is dealt with in a
new media way;
