The nominees for the 80th Annual Academy Awards were announced today and were significantly overshadowed by the surprising death of Heath Ledger. It seems that details are still forthcoming about the death, but rest assured that Peanut Butter & Movies will not be keeping you updated (that's what sites like tmz.com are for) other than to confirm that the most anticipated movie of 2008, The Dark Knight, is still on track for summer release.
Meanwhile, the continued writer's strike threatens to take down the annual Oscar ceremony in much the same fashion that it dispatched with the Golden Globes. If that turns out to be the case, then this year's nominees will undeservedly be getting the short end of the stick. So, while actors and award shows may be dropping like flies, Peanut Butter & Movies is here to brighten your award season with the first annual PEANUT BUTTER AWARDS!
We will be revealing our award nominees later in the week, but first and foremost we need your help. The Academy Awards wouldn't be squat without the sweet golden Oscar, so we here at Peanut Butter & Movies need a kickass statuette, medal, trophy or knickknack to virtually give out. Three leading contenders are pictured below. Vote on the left, and we'll make the leading vote-getter the official "Peanut Butter Award."
The Olympic Gold Medal Peanut Butter Award:
The Atlas World of Peanut Butter Award:
The Paul Revere Silver Trophy Peanut Butter Award:

I know B came up with the gold medal award, it looks like a certain 'WINNER' medal that he favors. The Atlas award is pretty cool looking too. The silver trophy is poo poo.
Before voting, my question is what will be the different categories for awards? That may play into my choice for the award... I assume that this will be like the Oscars where all the awards given out are the same?
categories will be standard acting, directing and screenplay categories, plus a few TBD PB&Movies originals. we will not award a traditional "best picture" b/c P and I will each release our own Best Movies of 2007 lists.
good call on the category informing the award - we could certainly award "Atlas" to the actors, "Olympic Gold" to the screenplays/directors, and "Paul Revere" to our PB&Movies original awards.
I like the Atlas trophy, but I voted "Other" because I'm not a huge fan of the "World of" part in the title. How about just calling it the PB Award, using the Atlas trophy picture, and nicknaming the awards "The PB's"?
Agreed - I just didn't want you to have to choose between Peanut Butter Award Option 1, Peanut Butter Award Option 2 and Peanut Butter Award Option 3. Go back and vote for Atlas.
