While this ceremony certainly won't have the grandiosity of the one on Sunday, I've enjoyed it in the past due to its casuelness - and, of course, John Waters' opening rant is always interesting to hear. It will be broadcasted live on IFC later today (5:00 ET, I think).
Overall, I prefer the choices presented to us in the "Foreign Film" category here compared to the Oscars.

oh no,
unfortunately i do NOT have IFC or Bravo ...
i cannot watch the ceremony ...
anyway, i am keen on these 3 categories!!!
BEST SCREENPLAY
My vote:
-- Richard Linklater & Julie Delpy & Ethan Hawke, Before Sunset
But will it go to ...
-- Alexander Payne & Jim Taylor, Sideways
BEST MALE LEAD
My vote:
-- Kevin Bacon, The Woodsman
But will it go to
-- Paul Giamatti, Sideways
BEST FOREIGN FILM
I have NOT watched RED LIGHTS or YESTERDAY
I think THE SEA INSIDE will win,
BUT even BAD EDUCATION and OASIS are very good.
So, I do NOT mind any of them winning ...
