I love how VH1 keeps stating that the place is packed with stars. Amanda Bynes, Brittany Snow, Nikki Blonsky, Ellen Page, Elijah Kelly, and Paul Dano have all been intereviewed and that's about it. It's great for these young actors to attend and get their recognition at a red carpet awards event...but the place hardly has any STARS. The largest thing to a star I've seen was Queen Latifah.

I also love how Ross just GRABBED Eddie Izzard in a desperate attempt to talk to a SOMEONE.

Nikki Blonsky won over Saoirse Ronan?

Okay. These have to be a joke. That is absolutely ridiculous.

[BroadwayBound86]

Posted: 1/7/08 at 9:26pm

I think that's a bunch of crap....

It should have gone to Saoirse.

[StickToPriest]

Posted: 1/7/08 at 9:29pm

Saoirse Ronan gave one of the most brilliant performances by a young actress ever committed to film.

Blonsky was bright, perky and fun....but nothing all that special.

I didn't think Blonsky was all that great, I wasn't impressed.

Theres some big stars in my opinion. Brangelina (btw-Brad shave bro). Sean Penn...who else..hmmm

[ucjrdude902]

Posted: 1/7/08 at 9:42pm

George Clooney is there also...Snoop...well idk if he's a big star.

I'm just glad "Falling Slowly" won. That's the only award tonight I'm particularly emotionally invested in, and this gives me more hope for the Oscars (supposing they happen, anyway).

[CapnHook]

Posted: 1/7/08 at 9:57pm

I'm not a Clooney fan, but I'm glad that he said on TV that they need to lock each other in a room until they resolve the strike.

Best Family Film.....ENCHANTED FTW!

"I love how VH1 keeps stating that the place is packed with stars"

I dunno-It looks to me like there are plenty of big stars in there.

[CapnHook]

Posted: 1/7/08 at 10:33pm

Yes, there are now. But the Red Carpet was vacant as they were all skipping the media and went straight inside (understandably).

[Jane2]

Posted: 1/7/08 at 10:36pm

But the red carpet is all the fun! Bummer.

I just tuned in a few minutes ago.

[Jane2]

Posted: 1/7/08 at 11:02pm

Haha, they just ran the credits and someone's name was Patrick Doody!

Those things make me laugh.

That was kind of anti-climactic.

Those were atrocious awards.

[StickToPriest]

Posted: 1/7/08 at 11:05pm

Can someone list the winners?
