Golden Lindsays

I just watched the Golden Globes, and while I am extremely pleased, I thought it would be fun to do my own version of them. Show who I would have nominated and picked to win for the same categories! This is probably also pretty limited since I obviously have not seen/watched everything, so I will probs have like no nominees.  And even still it is based on my personal tastes, of course which don't really mean too much... But anyway. Here you have it: The 2009 edition of The Golden Lindsays. Winners get a trophy of me doing this pose:
