Are advancing years mellowing the IRAs? No fistfights, no bitter arguments, just a desperate plea to keep things moving along because some people have to get up in the morning. (For the record, voting lasted from 6:30 p.m. to 11:30 p.m.) Cruel things were said, of course. Dakota Fanning's talent was battered about like a pinata. A prayer was offered up that Ingmar Bergman would keep his word when he said Saraband was his final film. Sarah Silverman was praised and damned (even though Jews don't believe in damnation). And actors Alessandro Nivola of Junebug, Kevin Zegers of Transamerica and Ashton Holmes of A History of Violence were manhandled like sides of beef; lovingly, mind you, but sides of beef nonetheless. Actresses who garnered support of the most basic sort included Maria Bello of History of Violence, Alexis Dziena of Broken Flowers and Sibel Kekilli of Head-On. Perhaps the overall lack of venom was due to strong appreciation for a handful of films: in no special order My Summer of Love, Good Night and Good Luck, A History of Violence, 2046, Capote, and Tony Takitani had widespread support.

I don't know, but one of them kept drunkenly insisting that he needed to get up in the morning.
Which no one believed.
