Golden Schmoes noms!

What
are the Golden Schmoes?

The official nominations for the 8th
Annual JoBlo.com Movie Awards (aka the Golden Schmoes) have been
compiled and the official voting will begin Thursday night at midnight EST
(Feb. 13-19),
so sharpen
your fingernails and get ready to vote for your faves! The winners
will be announced next Friday, February 20th, just two days before those darn
"Oscar thingies" are handed out. Here are the films which received the
most nominations and…surprise, surprise, THE DARK KNIGHT rules them all! (I
believe the film received more nominations than any other film ever did on the
Golden Schmoes, but I need to double-check and confirm that).

The Dark
Knight (16
nominations)
The Wrestler (12 nominations)
Wall-E (10 nominations)
Iron Man (8 nominations)
The Curious Case of Benjamin
Button (8 nominations)
Cloverfield (7 nominations)

A handful of other cool flicks also
received 6 nominations each including PINEAPPLE EXPRESS, IN BRUGES, SLUMDOG
MILLIONAIRE and TROPIC THUNDER, while FORGETTING SARAH MARSHALL
managed 5 noms including Mila Kunis for "Best T&A". Remember that
each person can vote only once for the Golden Schmoes, but you needn’t be a
member of our site to do so. We will also be running our 9TH
ANNUAL OSCAR PREDICTION CONTEST this year (win an iPod!!),
from Feb. 16-22, so stay tuned for that as well. See
