Good for him. He's long overdue for something like this. I'm still fumed about Corpse Bride's loss at the Oscars by the way.
Aw! Yay Timmy! but why is he in 4th?! Sorry PJ but the Burton man gets mah vote!
Squeeeee! i cant wait for Sweeney Todd! They should start filming tomorrow.
Well, that was kind of a fluffy, frivolous thing, wasn't it? Had to question some of the choices. They just don't make scary films like they used to and to list a SEQUEL as a nominee...Sheesh. Still, The Ring was , admittedly , a bit freaky , though I did vote for the Exorcist. Never could watch that thing straight through....But this is for Tim Burton, isn't it? I definately believe that Hollywood has snubbed him far too often simply because he's so far from the "mainstream"...but it is precisely for this reason that he deserves SO much more recognition. He is a true original....and his right hand man Mr. Depp has definately come a long way from 21 Jump Street.
YAY!!! I voted for him last night. I can't wait for Sweeney! HOOOOOORAAAAAAAAY!!!!!!!!!!

Hell Yeah! I'm not surprised at all!
Emily, how could you? That website said tim is the king of the emos!
And we are NOT emos!
All it said is that, all emo-punk bands on the planet and Goths came together just to see The Nightmare Before Christmas. Besides, we should just all get along with each other, and just band up on the preps that say "TNBC is stupid and lame only for goths" (Which by the way P*sses me off!) This is what they said,"became massive, spawning merchandise and a devoted cult following that included tons of goth kids, their younger siblings, basically every emo-punk band on the planet and a whole lot of decidedly un-emo acts too."
I mean if you were emo would'nt you want to play your song on The Nightmare? I'm not even a musician or singer and I would like to play in it.(because I guess I am catorgized under "Goth") That dose'nt even matter all that matters is that Tim Burton is not emo and this just was all Disney's doings. F**king Disney! TNBC is just fine just the way it is!!And besides if I were Tim Burton I'd be happy that so meny has admired him, but I was Danny Elfman then I would be devastated that they were going to chang his music.
G-d... message board spam. How ridiculous.
Come on , now , "anonymous". That's tacky. It truly is. On a MESSAGE BOARD? Desperate.
I've been voting every now and then.. I think I'm on my fourth vote. And he's still losing to Peter Jackson! What's up with that???
Meh....Peter Jackson....made a few insignificant, ridiculous films before finally impressing us with the visually stunning Lord of The Rings trilogy. No comment on King Kong, other than the fact that, at least, he went with the original movie script. Nicely done there. Still, he's not much in the way of originality, is he? Tim Burton has that in aces , a quality seriously lacking in Hollywood , and yet he's constantly passed over for what they call his "weirdness". Go figure.....
Keep voting! We just need to enlist the help of the depp fans. Seriously, check out how much he's winning by.
I vote like, once a day... and it's still not working!!!!!! Why do people like PETER JACKSON?? Sure, he made LOTR, but Tim!!!! He made ED WOOD! And Nightmare! And Beetlejuice!! And lots of other things that scream of awesomeness! What's wrong with people????
i'm really sorry to interupt but I just have a quick random question.
does anyone remember the music from the Corpse Bride trailer, at the end where it had the choir singing in the background. What movie was that song from, does anyone know?
How could he still be losing ? It just doesn't make any sense. Take my advice. VOTE! AND THEN VOTE SOME MORE!
I vote once a day...
Sometimes twice a day. But nope.
so to vote do you have to sign the thing on the end of the voteing page?
I keep voting too! Why is PETER JACKSON STILL WINNING??????? WHY???????
OMG!!!....everyone vote NOW!!
ive voted 6 times ok?!
you all do the same.....
EVERYONE VOTE FOR TIM BURTON
& JOHNNY DEPP!!!
let the man get some winnings!!!
Woo!
Come on people!!! 2% to match PETER JACKSON!!! Vote faster!!!!!
Guys! I just read the fine print, it says you can't vote more than once a day!!!!
Seriously??? CRAP! Oh well, vote once a day!!!!
Hey, don't forget to vote for Natalie Portman too, because she did really good in V for Vendetta, don't ya think? She rocks!
Totally off subject. But I think Jeff Goldblum should be in Sweeney Todd.
We only get to vote once per day ?
COME ON! At this rate, we'll never get enough votes in, and he deserves this more than anyone.
Yeah, Natalie Portman was awesome in V. We should vote for her... she was in Mars Attacks! as well. So that deserves some recognition too. ;-)
OH NO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! THE POLLS ARE CLOSED!!! WHAT ARE WE GONNA DO???? HE'S STILL IN 3rd!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Who does she play in Mars Attacks? Do you know?
Yeah, her name's Taffy.
Oh, I did'nt know that was her!? And how do you know Bonanza, that Tim is in 3rd?
when's there gonna be some new, exciting news posted on here?!?
jeez, i'm dieing here.
Because he was in third when the polls closed.
oh, ok. thanks bunches
