Blah blah blah work help blah

[trinityofone]

I am soooooooo boriiiiiiing.

Anyway, help me out with something for work! We're putting together our Alternative Oscar Ballot. This means I need to think of humorous categories and five entries for each for this year's (past, current, and upcoming) films. Past examples include:

BEST PERFORMANCE BY ONE OR MORE RODENTS
Mr. Jingles in The Green Mile
Stuart Little in Stuart Little
The rats in The Bone Collector
Mickey Mouse in The Hand Behind the Mouse: The Ub Iwerks Story
Sean Penn in Sweet and Lowdown

or

OVERPRAISED '70S DIRECTOR WHO MOST CLEARLY DEMONSTRATED HE'D LOST TOUCH WITH REALITY
Stanley Kubrick for Eyes Wide Shut
Peter Hyams for End of Days
Martin Scorsese for Bringing Out the Dead
Robert Altman for Cookie's Fortune
George Lucas for Star Wars: Episode I—The Phantom Menace

Thank kind of thing. You know, funny and clever. Two things I am (at least currently) not.

So. Any suggestions?

Also: does it bug people that I ask for help with this sort of thing? I've been worried that it might be annoying, but LJ is such a good resource. Still, please tell me if it's annoying. And really, I'll try to post something interesting soon.

ETA: I don't actually need more rodent suggestions—that was just an example. We're actually looking for new categories. Sorry for any confusion!

Portman's *English* accent, on the other hand... she was good in V for Vendetta, but despite having a "dialogue coach" still sounded more like a South African than one would really expect from an English teenager :)

Does she not naturally use an American accent? I thought she'd lived in the US from an early age.

Trin, you can do something where you come up with the questions, and then post them here to have people help you match up answers.

That sounds like a good plan to me.
