Forum Rules (Everyone Must Read!!!)

1] What you CAN NOT post.

You agree, through your use of this service, that you will not use this forum to post any material which is:
- abusive
- vulgar
- hateful
- harassing
- personal attacks
- obscene

You also may not:
- post images that are too large (max is 500*500px)
- post any copyrighted material unless the copyright is owned by you or cited properly.
- post in UPPER CASE, which is considered yelling
- post messages which insult the Armenians, Armenian culture, traditions, etc
- post racist or other intentionally insensitive material that insults or attacks another culture (including Turks)

The Ankap thread is excluded from the strict rules because that place is more relaxed and you can vent and engage in light insults and humor. Notice it's not a blank ticket, but just a place to vent. If you go into the Ankap thread, you enter at your own risk of being clowned on.
What you PROBABLY SHOULD NOT post...
Do not post information that you will regret putting out in public. This site comes up on Google, is cached, and all of that, so be aware of that as you post. Do not ask the staff to go through and delete things that you regret making available on the web for all to see because we will not do it. Think before you post!


2] Use descriptive subject lines & research your post. This means use the SEARCH.

This reduces the chances of double-posting and it also makes it easier for people to see what they do/don't want to read. Using the search function will identify existing threads on the topic so we do not have multiple threads on the same topic.

3] Keep the focus.

Each forum has a focus on a certain topic. Questions outside the scope of a certain forum will either be moved to the appropriate forum, closed, or simply be deleted. Please post your topic in the most appropriate forum. Users that keep doing this will be warned, then banned.

4] Behave as you would in a public location.

This forum is no different than a public place. Behave yourself and act like a decent human being (i.e. be respectful). If you're unable to do so, you're not welcome here and will be made to leave.

5] Respect the authority of moderators/admins.

Public discussions of moderator/admin actions are not allowed on the forum. It is also prohibited to protest moderator actions in titles, avatars, and signatures. If you don't like something that a moderator did, PM or email the moderator and try your best to resolve the problem or difference in private.

6] Promotion of sites or products is not permitted.

Advertisements are not allowed in this venue. No blatant advertising or solicitations of or for business is prohibited.
This includes, but not limited to, personal resumes and links to products or
services with which the poster is affiliated, whether or not a fee is charged
for the product or service. Spamming, in which a user posts the same message repeatedly, is also prohibited.

7] We retain the right to remove any posts and/or Members for any reason, without prior notice.


- PLEASE READ -

Members are welcome to read posts and though we encourage your active participation in the forum, it is not required. If you do participate by posting, however, we expect that on the whole you contribute something to the forum. This means that the bulk of your posts should not be in "fun" threads (e.g. Ankap, Keep & Kill, This or That, etc.). Further, while occasionally it is appropriate to simply voice your agreement or approval, not all of your posts should be of this variety: "LOL Member213!" "I agree."
If it is evident that a member is simply posting for the sake of posting, they will be removed.


8] These Rules & Guidelines may be amended at any time. (last update September 17, 2009)

If you believe an individual is repeatedly breaking the rules, please report to admin/moderator.

    Re: The 66th Annual Golden Globe Awards

    BEST MOTION PICTURE -- DRAMA
    The Curious Case of Benjamin Button
    Slumdog is too small to win this, IMO. The HFPA like to give this award to an epic or traditional Hollywood offering, and I think TCCBB comes closest to that. If I had to pick an alternate, it would be Revolutionary Road.

    BEST MOTION PICTURE -- MUSICAL OR COMEDY
    Mamma Mia!
    The HFPA likes musicals. I think they'll overlook the fact that Mamma Mia! received mixed reviews and give it the award, like they did to Evita.

    BEST ACTOR -- DRAMA
    Sean Penn Milk
    I think Mickey Rourke has a good chance, and am hoping for Frank Langella. But I think this is Penn's to lose.

    BEST ACTOR -- MUSICAL OR COMEDY
    Javier Bardem Vicky Cristina Barcelona
    Farrell or Franco could surprise, but I'm pretty sure Bardem has this.

    BEST ACTRESS -- DRAMA
    Kate Winslet Revolutionary Road
    There is a feeling among many that she is overdue, so I'm predicting her. Anne Hathaway could surprise. They'll also want to make sure Meryl Streep walks away with a prize, and the best opportunity to award her comes with...

    BEST ACTRESS -- MUSICAL OR COMEDY
    Meryl Streep Mamma Mia!
    Sally Hawkins is the critical favorite, but does she really stand a chance against Streep at the HFPAs? Doubtful.

    BEST SUPPORTING ACTOR
    Heath Ledger The Dark Knight

    BEST SUPPORTING ACTRESS
    Penélope Cruz Vicky Cristina Barcelona

    BEST DIRECTOR
    A five way race
    The most unpredictable category. The Golden Globe for direction seldom matches either of the motion picture categories. This decade, it's only happened twice. So, in order of likelihood: Boyle, Fincher, Mendes, Howard, Daldry.

    BEST SCREENPLAY
    The Curious Case of Benjamin Button
    ...with Slumdog Millionaire close behind. Though, now I'm thinking this could be yet another five way race. Button is a fine screenplay, I suppose, but strays too much from the source material. I don't know if the HFPA takes that into account.

    BEST ORIGINAL SCORE
    Slumdog Millionaire
    They like Desplat, but he won only a few years ago. They might want to give Eastwood something, and this category presents a good chance. Where is The Dark Knight, by the way?

    BEST ORIGINAL SONG
    "The Wrestler" The Wrestler
    Though Peter Gabriel looks tempting (Genesis!), they'll probably opt for Springsteen. And here is also another opportunity for them to award Eastwood.

    BEST ANIMATED FILM
    WALL-E
    Ugh. Go Kung Fu Panda!

    BEST FOREIGN LANGUAGE FILM
    A three way race
    In order of likelihood: Waltz with Bashir, I've Loved You So Long, Gomorra.
