12TH Annual Sullivan-Gooley Award Nominees! Updated!

When I was a wee lad, a buddy of mine named Mike Sullivan and I watched the 1998 Oscars and were horrified even at the age 0f 13 that the Oscars favored a film like Shakespeare in Love over Saving Private Ryan. So we decided to create our own awards to make up for the idiocy of the academy.

Actually here's what mike said about it in 2009.

Hi Friends-
In case you're not familiar with myself or great friend Sam Gooley, we've hosted our own awards show since 1999 honoring the films we believe should have won Best Picture.

Every year on Oscar night, we reveal the winners.

Since Shakespeare in Love somehow beat Saving Private Ryan for Best Picture of 1998, we decided something had to change.

Mike passed away this year and as hard as this was, i knew deep down that I need to continue this very special tradition. I want to. I will until I get tired of watching movies (Which will be never). While putting together this list, I talked to friends of Mike and his mom and also looked at previous list to get a good idea of what Mike would of voted for. The winners will be announced on Oscar night and if you have any comments on the nominees of what might of got left out or what you think Mike would pick, please comment! Thank you! And without further ado...here's the Nominees of the movie year 2010
