Oh Yeah...

...the Producers Guild of America announced their nominations for the year 2008.
The nominees are the ones everyone expected and that is precisely the problem: they are just so incredibly dull.
If this is the same list we're gonna get for the Oscars go ahead and count me out as I've been officially underwhelmed and definitely disappointed.
Now all we have to do is sit and wait to see if the DGA have mercy on us and shake things up a bit.
Last year we were also seeing the same nominees in practically all the races, but somehow everything was a bit more exciting even as "No Country for Old Men" swept it all. Can it have something to do with the quality of the motion pictures in consideration perh
