But I wouldn't dismiss the masses' tastes entirely, and I'm glad to say you haven't in acknowledging that Anne Hathaway and Johnny Deep are worthy talents. I've been accused of elitist tastes even by my own family, but I'd still make the argument that Adam Lambert is a great talent and The Office is still a hysterical show. There's no excuse for Bride Wars' nomination though. That flick was just awful, although my wife would disagree.

Mad Men moving to AMC this season didn't help. I have many friends in Canada who were very upset about no Mad Men this season because most of the Canadian cable companies did not add AMC to the basic package -I got lucky that my cable provider did and added HBO as well. Makes me a very happy camper.

I have not seen He's Not Into You, though. She could be breaking out, which might be the impetus for the nomination, though to your point, that would be too logical.
