Orwelliarketing
Has anyone else noticed the dirty trick the ad team for There Will Be Blood is pulling? "Winner" of nominations? Come on! Sure it's a valid figure of speech, but "winner" is in a much larger font and the frame only stays up for one second during the commercial. It's an intentional optical illusion!
Let's all agree to stop caring what "the Academy" and their colleagues think about things so that movie companies won't try condescension like this anymore.

Dr Phil: I Was Told to Come « Next — Prev » It's Not Easy Being Cartoonishly Fake



In my opinion (which, really, is all that matters) this film is gonna sweep everything anyways, so does it really make a difference? ;-) If you haven't seen this movie, GO NOW!!!!
I noticed this the other day and wondered if I heard it/read it wrong. Guess not.
The only people that are going to get fooled by this are Oprah's book club…
eh.
How do they usually word it, by the way? Because I kept thinking how odd it sounded, which is why I thought I'd heard wrong.
But do they normally say "Winner of XX Globe nomations" without the huge misleading font and emphasis?
If they stop this practice then how will I know what to think?
Usually they just say "Nominated for 2 Golden Globes"
Jujubees, just stop thinking altogether. Duh.
I've never heard them say "winner of XX Globe nominations". It's weird.
I think they usually say "Nominated for XX Globes".
Can I get a pill for that, Janice?
I would also like to add that I am also a winner. Or at least I could be if I'm picked for the Publilshers Clearing house. I'm going out to buy a mansion in preperation for Ed and my huge check.
I guess playa beat me to it.
On a totally unrelated note, my current MySpace homepage has a link for a chance to party with Vanilla Ice. I don't know whether to laugh or to cry in shame.
I have always thought that Golden Globes was an unfortunate name for an award.
I don't know if there's a pill yet, juju. I do know if you want enough episodes of "Shot at Love" you get pretty close.
I'm a winner too, by the way. The Armenian National Lottery emailed me and said so. I didn't even know I was entered, but all I have to do is send them a $5,000 deposit, and then they send out my winnings. Yay!
That's crazy. I just won the Irish Lottery. I just need to send them my SS#, CC#, bank#, and 10,000. I just call their fudcuciary office and I'm done. I've never even been to Ireland. Can I give them your info?
Give them my info? Sure, why not! Maybe they'll enter me for next year. You sure lucked out. Do you think you should also send your original birth certificate and passport, so there's no mix-up?
I don't mess with those lotteries. I'm too busy replying to all the international job offers I get. That and all the "vi.a.gra" specials.
Lisa your comment made my mind stray to the dirty section.
I think you should forget about writing the book you're too good for that.
Apparently I also have some money waiting for me. It's like their 3rd attempt. I need to act now. I had no idea there was a mafia of money givers searching for my ass. I'm right here, where's my money?
Juju, they all forwarded your winnings to me, for safekeeping. Just send me a cheque for $15,000 to cover handling and banking costs, and your social security no, passport, and mother's maiden name, and I'll get them right to you.
Sure, but would you mind if I use my alias, Zelda Pinwheel?
Like those delicious pinwheel cookies? Only if you send me some of your cookies, Zelda.
They are crackalackalicious.
