The Golden Globe winners were announced today and I just wanted to say thank everyone who voted for Edie Falco (Best Supporting Actress winner) and "Bat Out Of Hell" (Best Picture-Musical/Comedy). I am truly surprised by both wins. And congratulations to everybody else who won awards.
As soon as the SAG winners are announced, I will post my predictions for the final awards, which the nominees will be announced on Sunday.
I also wanted to ask a question to the baiting community about my next two baits for September. My first is definately going to be Ridley Scott's "The Second Coming" starring Matt Damon, Maribel Verdu, Adrien Brody, Patricia Clarkson, Colm Meaney, and Anthony Hopkins and it is about the quest for truth when the world believes Jesus has returned.
I'm having trouble deciding the other bait I should submit. I'm going to list some possible baits/casts/mini-plots and I ask you, the readers, to comment on which you think I should submit.

definitely "Campaign", that sounds hilarious...;-)
I'd go with the last two. The other ones aren't as interesting (Jeff Goldblum and Roberto Benigni in a war film? No way).
they all sound good but I'd go with a comedy, so they arne't competing against each other.
Black Gold
"Made In America" is my first choice. It sounds interesting and sounds like something I would see. Also it sounds like it will have a little bourne feel to it, and with bourne getting alot of buzz atm it could end up working out great for you.
My second choice is "San Pietro". Scorsese doinga war movie? sounds awsome, I'm already there lol Plus Scorsese is probably one of the most underused directors on the site.
Campaign and The Killer Eagles both sound gold.
Made in America kind of has a similar theme to my bait "Mind Machine" that didn't really do so well, although it was taken like a mindless action flick but I tried to make it more of an action thriller.
I'm sure with your writing abilities you can make Made in America something of your own but I like Killer Eagles and Campaign.
Campaign or Black Gold, but if you do Black Gold, recast Damon because he was just in Syriana.
