I had prepared something like the speech the title referenced (when Sally Field screamed “You like me! You really like me!” after winning her second Oscar) had I been nominated for any LAMMYs, the awards given through the Large Association of Movie Blogs to exemplary movie bloggers. Unfortunately, that speech won’t be necessary.
I don’t want to revel in sorrow or even make a scene out of not being nominated (honestly, I can’t because I have finals right now). Like I said, I don’t blog to get recognition or awards. I blog because I love to write about movies.
And so, I leave you dedicated readers with this, which will set the tone for the next year of “Marshall and the Movies.”
I am going to strive to do my best, to continue to provide you with what I believe to be exemplary content. I will fight to keep your readership even harder than I have in the 9 months that I have been blogging. With your help, “Marshall and the Movies” will continue to soar to new heights. You will never see a movie blogger work harder (except when he has school, and then he will channel his energies there).
So thanks again for reading, because I think you do deserve a pat on the back every once in a while. And congratulations to my deserving friends and fellow bloggers who have been nominated. Give yourselves an especially large pat on the back.


Don’t know how much this’ll do for ya, but I will tell you that you came a single vote short from getting a nom for Best Festival/Awards Coverage. So close.
Thank you, that makes me feel better. Gives me a little bit more energy to face finals…
I would give you one if I could 😦
