Hey all --

Just wanted to share that Rent and The Producers both got a couple of nominations from the Broadcast Film Critics Association.

Rent was nominated for Ensemble, Song (Seasons of Love -- I guess their eligibility requirements are different than the Academy's), and Soundtrack.

The Producers got nominated for Best Comedy (alongside The 40-Year-Old Virgin, The Wedding Crashers, Mrs. Henderson Presents, & one other film I can't remember) and Soundtrack.

The awards are broadcast on January 9.

Biggest nominee was Brokeback Mountain, with 8, followed by Crash with 6. George Clooney got 4 -- for Supporting Actor in Syriana, Directing Good Night and Good Luck, co-writing Good Night, and Ensemble for Good Night. Terrence Howard got three, for Actor in Hustle & Flow, Supporting Actor in Crash, and Ensemble in Crash.

All in all, some cool nominations and interesting omissions...

Rent also got a nomination from the Washington Area Critics for Ensemble. It's a smallish award, certainly, but it's still nice.

The Golden Globes nominations are announced on Tuesday morning. Keep your fingers crossed...

Awards are fun, but in our case, they can help counteract the split critical response and help spread the word about our film, giving it more of a chance to hang around.

Thanks for the congrats.

As for interesting omissions, how about all the other songs in Rent?

Congratulations. Glad to see an ensemble nomination.

I actually am expecting some Golden Globe noms for the film, as they do have a separate musical/comedy category.

That's awesome.

I'm hoping for a few Golden Globe nods. If nothing else, you guys can all go and get drunk in the audience.

ROFLMAO Mandi.

That's my dream. To get nominated for a Golden Globe so I can go and get loaded.

That's what the cast of Will and Grace does. Every year they've been nominated, but they never win.

Congrats Anthony, and everyone else. It's nice to see your hard work recognized. Hopefully these are the first of many awards to come. I agree with Mandi about the Golden Globes. Good times.
