CONGRATULATIONS: FIREFLIES, ROCK STAR AND EARTH 3K

We wish to send congratulations to Fireflies in the Jelly Jars for earning 4 nominations, Rock Star for earning the most this season with 6 nominations and Earth 3K for earning one for most wanted sequel.

Fireflies in the Jelly-Jars is actually being released in theaters, along with other GMA nominated films this season. Rock Star has been in theaters for the last couple of weeks, but the traffic flow to it is going to be overwhelming now that it's the most nominated and a best picture nomination.

We are no strangers to the Best Picture category. We have just never won a best pic of the season. We haven't had a best picture nomination since Season 7, Lyra. It's also been since then that we've received screenplay nominations. Since then we've scored a few acting awards here and there. Other best picture nominations include Dream of a King and Hollyweird.
NOMINATIONS: 4
WINS: 0

We now have our fifth screenplay nomination, and our first 'best original concept' nomination.
Our other best screenplays include: Hollyweird, Blink, Lyra and Velcro. We are honored to have Fireflies join the mix.
NOMINATIONS: 5(6 if you count original concept)
WINS: 1

MOST WANTED SEQUEL:
Our only other most wanted sequel film was L.A. Wolf last season. Earth 3K's sequel seems a little too obvious though considering it's been announced before that there will be another one. Also it ended with us believing there would be a sequel.
NOMINATIONS: 2
WINS: O

BEST VILLAIN:
Daniel Day Lewis is recognized again for the kind of role he does so well. A cold bitter bad guy. He joins Willem Dafoe(72 Hours), Chow Yun-Fat(Five Thunderbolts), Guy Pearce(Killer on the Road), Ryan Gosling(After the Storm), and Samuel L. Jackson(Foul Karma) for the GMA nominated Josh Collins villains.
NOMINATIONS: 6
WINS: 2

BEST STARRING COUPLE:
Jeff and Kate swears they were only friends in Rock Star. Even if they had a hot sex scene which Kate showed her real Ta-Tas. They join the list along with the mother/daughter team: Frances McDormand and Kate Hudson(Velcro), The first female child tag team to be nominated for the category, Abigail Breslin and Dakota Fanning(Fantastic Mansion), and Vigilante/House Burgular Samuel L. Jackson/Matt Damon(Foul Karma)
NOMINATIONS: 4
WINS: 2

BEST SUPPORTING ACTRESS:
Robin Wright Penn earned her first nod in the category. Josh Collins films are no strangers to this category either: Angela Bassett(Dream of a King) and Ivana Baquero(Blink) went up against each other that season. The following season Frances MacDormand(Velcro) and Jodie Foster(Lyra) earned the nods. Just last season, we had the only films nominated in the category. Joan Cusack(Check, Please), Amy Adams(Woodland Creatures) and Michelle Williams(Weigh Anchor)
NOMINATIONS: 8
WINS: 3


BEST ACTRESS:
It seems like a tradition for our films to have supporting actresses going head to head and it makes it so difficult to favor one over the other. This time it's the cream of the crop, the best actresses that are butting heads for the win. Abigail Breslin's(Fireflies in the Jelly-Jars) first 'best actress' nod in CMP goes up against Kate Beckinsale's bitchiness in Rock Star. People are whispering whose going to win it. Abigail and Kate join the list of Collins Actress nods along with: Scarlett Johannsen(Hollyweird), Hilary Swank(Blink), Jena Malone(Lyra), Kate Hudson(Velcro), Laura Linney(Dare to be Perfect)
NOMINATIONS: 7
WINS: 1

As most of you have realized we have been good friends with the Breslin family, Abigail stopped by our studio and dropped Collins a note in his mailbox.
"Thank you for giving me all the opportunities and through hard work came big rewards. I think it's cool that I got a GMA best actress nomination but it just makes me want to try harder next time. I've been a highly pressured child actress who cuts herself, a young girl trying to overcome a zombie apocalypse(No, not Zombieland), I ran away from home to go to Toyland, I've been fatally ill and also on a journey to other worlds with my on-screen sister as we cope with our parents' death. I was then a kid dealing with the entrance of the young teenage life. That one was similar to my work in Fireflies, but I was more abused in this one.
I don't know what's next to come, but with this kind of resume, I don't doubt I'll have more opportunities to shine. I wouldn't have been able to do that if you didn't persist to challenge me! I wil always be looking forward to working with you and your studio soon, and will always look forward to work with other CMP writers!"
Thank You,
Abbie

moving on to the rest of the categories:

BEST ACTOR:
Jeff Bridges is no stranger to acting awards at the Oscars, this time he gets his well deserved chance to be nominated for a GMA award. He faces tough competition this season as all of the performances were outstanding. He joins our list along with: Lawrence Fishburne(Dream of a King), Greg Kinnear(Dare to be Perfect) and last year's winner: Joseph Gordon-Levitt(Weigh Anchor)
NOMINATIONS: 4
WINS: 2


BEST DIRECTOR:
Sam Mendes earns his spot for his directorial work on Rock Star. Collins films have done pretty good for director nominations but none have ever won. Josh Collins himself(Hollyweird), Spike Lee(Dream of a King), Noah Baumbach(Lyra).
Nominations: 4
Wins: 0


It's been a very long time since we've seen a Josh Collins dominant GMA!

Thank you all who voted!
