Uwe Boll’s Totally Awesome Video Games Filmmaking Frenzy Contest:

Team:  FilthyButts
Film: MARIO PAINT

Team Capt: Joey Graham

Fantastic Fest Bumper Contest:
Filmmaking Frenzy also challenged teams to create 30 second Fantastic Fest bumpers that would play before all of the features in the festival. So many teams responded to this challenge that no bumper was played twice. The winning video was chosen by the Filmmaking Frenzy online community.

Team: FOGAR!
Film: DOGZILLA VS. CATHRA

Team Capt - Maurice Jacks

Shakey Face Badge Photo:
Fantastic Fest badges ask for a photo submission, similar to other festivals the world over. At Fantastic Fest, though, we demand that badgeholders submit a “Shakey Face” photo, and we reward the best face of the fest with a blanket featuring their shaken mug woven on it. This year’s winners are listed below, and you can check out a video of their Shakey Face Throwdown after that.

2009 Shakey Face Award Winners:

Dear students,

It has come to my attention that some of the people who win free tickets to advance screenings on our site here are taking advantage of the situation. This is so not cool. Let me explain:

Recently, we’ve been using a website to make getting free advance passes faster and easier for everybody. For example: 400 people enter a contest and 50 winners are picked at random.

Those 50 winners are emailed that they’ve won two passes and told to go to a website. Each movie has its own Scene-Stealers promotional code. You put in the code and your name is entered as having picked up your tickets. You print off your passes and bring them to the screening. Awesome!

This rules because we didn’t have to mail anything and you didn’t have to wait for your passes!

The problem is this: Apparently some people aren’t happy with their two free passes. For tonight’s screening of “Terminator Salvation,” for example, there are three winners who printed off more than their allotted passes for the show. This takes away those passes which were already reserved for someone else.

So, let’s imagine this: You enter. You get an email from me saying you’ve won. You go to the site to print off tickets and they are all gone. That’s what happened to some winners that emailed me this morning. Lame.

Here’s the kicker: I know who you are. We get a list of the names of people who have reserved our winning tickets, and we can match them up with the names of users who actually used the Scene-Stealers code.

If you’re one of these people, don’t do this again. It really screws things up for us, and you’re just gypping other people who were randomly picked just like you. Isn’t two seats enough? If you are one of those people, please return to the site (Gofobo.com) and release those tickets so that somebody else who won can claim them.

I’m going to keep this post up as a reference so I don’t have to keep reminding everybody, but this is a little embarrassing. I feel like I’m rapping someone’s knuckles with a ruler like my old music teacher from 2nd grade. If we tell you you’ve won two tickets, be happy with that! You get to see a movie before its released, and it’s free! Isn’t that enough?

Sincerely,

Mr. Melin

We’re working on taking care of those who legitimately won tickets from us, so if you have any problems, email me at eric@scene-stealers.com.

She’s been nominated for five Oscars and five Golden Globes and never won, until tonight. Kate Winslet swept the dramtic film actress categories, winning for “Revolutionary Road” and “The Reader.”

“Slumdog Millionaire” is far and away the frontrunner for Best Picture in February at the Academy Awards now, with its Picture/Director/Writer/Score sweep Thursday at the Critic’s Choice Awards and tonight again at the Golden Globes.
Mickey Rourke countered Sean Penn’s Thursday night win with a win tonight at the Globes, proving that Best Actor is a two-man race. And “The Dark Knight” director Christopher Nolan had the task of reminding the crowd of his supporting actor’s great talent by accepting Heath Ledger’s award both nights.

Also: 30 Rock and John Adams won a bunch of TV awards, Seth Rogen joked about doing cocaine with Mickey Rourke, Rourke used the word “balls” a bunch in his speech, his director Darren Aronofsky flipped him off, Sacha Baron Cohen called ex-husband Guy Ritchie one of Madonna’s assistants, and “Slumdog Millionaire” producer Christian Colson closed out the night with what I’m pretty sure was the “f” word. Did I mention that everybody’s drinking at the Globes?

Still my favorite shout-out of the night was Ricky Gervais, after Kate had won her first award for “The Reader,” who joked about an episode of his show “Extras” where  Winslet–playing herself–talks about how people in Holocaust movies have “Oscars coming out their ass.” “Well done, Winslet,” he said, pointing to the actress while standing at the podium with a beer in his hand. “I told you. Do a Holocaust movie and the awards come, didn’t I?” She guested on that series’ best episode.

The original episode; start at 3:27
