Shimmering Angel
Since we're all so anxious to get these T-shirts printed and put on our bodies so we can get skid marks all over them, let's consider the only man whose face is worth printing. For the sake of time, I will skip the wordy introduction. But suffice it to say, this man has proved himself deep and wide, from the low brow to the high. An American bad boy.

The Magna Carta (Lowell's Nomination)
I reject this. I call for a return to the past. I call for another Tim Allen. I realize this seems like I am joking, but I am not. If we allow another high caliber 'respected' actor to win the nomination, how much different are we than the laughable Oscars. Already we are Golden Globing the hell out of the holidays, and my heart breaks a little just to think of another holiday with thought provoking story lines and acting that we can respect.
Where has Guttenberg gone? What about Arnold? Just because he is losing his day job, doesn't mean his spirit must also die. We set the bar high with the Michaels and Patrick. And those years gave us happiness, and let us fearlessly sit through hours of films.
This is it. This is the last year before our 10th anniversary. After this year all the rules change. Oscar winners are allowed. Our icons will surely be lifted to the greatest heights. We have all been saving our favorites, and our golden secrets.
But I plead, I beg, lets muddy it up one last time. Let's groan at the guffaws. Let us once more suffer through the same character played over and over again.
I come to you not with bravado and confidence in my nomination. Instead, in the spirit of Thanksgiving pasts, I beg, I crawl, and I grovel, for one last debacle of acting.
Good movies are easy with good actors. We can breeze through the 12-16 films if they are all quality. But what is the fun of that? Where is the magic? Without the suffering the T-shirt might lose some of its meaning.
So, with a pathetic appeal to your sense of tradition and desire to take the first 9 years out with a whimper, I nominate one of our generations worst and least respected actors.
The one, the only, Rob Schnieder

Flower power (Elizabeth's nomination)
For some people it's all about how she comes from hollywood royalty, or the fact that she has been delighting audiences since she was just 11 months old, or that she overcame a turbulent and drug filled adolescence to recapture the hearts of fans, or that she has a varied and peculiar taste in men (tom green?), but one thing that we can all agree on is that this hippy will make us happy this thanksgiving.
