I have to say you've done one helluva great job so far! I've never seen a countdown host with so much spirit and energy. Way to go!

24 of mine will make the list. Paul Blart is my 25th.


Sorry, I blew my one-pointer.

Seconded. The enthusiasm you brought to this is great to see. Can’t wait to see it all unfold.

Great! You know all this is going straight to his head.

Nah, that's ok

Nah, seriously, I've done nothing so far. Yoda's the one with the heavy lifting. Besides, now's when the thing will start

I have EVERY confidence that this will go off with STYLE, BRILLIANCE and PRECISION!!


And I'm not just whistling Dixie.
In fact, I have been informed that there is a crack team of professionals fine-tuning this Countdown, both behind the scenes and via MoFo Participation.

Hey, who said the wait has to be boring? As we prepare everything for next week's show, let's have some fun with...

THE MOFO 2000s COUNTDOWN PRELIMINARY RED CARPET

First one to arrive was Mr. Jack Nicholson, who looked at the venue and the selection of films and couldn't hide the excitement on his face...



When reached for comments, Nicholson said "I thought they said it was a Lakers game", and hurried out.

Nicholson has six eligible films:

• The Pledge
• About Schmidt
• Anger Management
• Something's Gotta Give
• The Departed
• The Bucket List

Will any of those make it? Will it be enough to drag Nicholson back into this hell hole? Well, stay tuned.

Second to arrive to the MoFo auditorium/school gymnasium was Meryl Streep, who was equally ecstatic about everything...



MoFo-TV managed to hear a bit of a conversation with her agent where she said, "I'm nominated for something here, right? right?"

Mrs. Streep had a helluva busy decade! She has 18 eligible films:

• A.I. Artificial Intelligence
• Adaptation
• The Hours
• The Manchurian Candidate
• Lemony Snicket's A Series of Unfortunate Events
• Prime
• A Prairie Home Companion
• The Devil Wears Prada
• The Ant Bully
• Dark Matter
• Evening
• Rendition
• Lions for Lambs
• Mamma Mia!
• Doubt
• Julie & Julia
• Fantastic Mr. Fox
• It's Complicated

Will any of these make it? or will she walk out empty-handed for once in her life?

Finally, Steven Spielberg took a break from hiding Ansel Elgort to congratulate MoFo on their countdown.



This is a transcript of a quick exchange he had with reporters

Reporter #1: "How are you feeling, Sir?"
Spielberg: "Zegler, DeBose, Alvarez, Moreno"
Reporter #1: "..."
Reporter #2: "Do you expect to receive the praise and love of the MoFo people?"
Spielberg: "Zegler... DeBose... Alvarez... Moreno..."
Reporter #3: "Do you think Kingdom of the Crystal Skull has a chance on this countdown"
Spielberg: "You're damn right, it has!"

Aside of Kingdom of the Crystal Skull, Spielberg has six other eligible films:

• A.I. Artificial Intelligence
• Minority Report
• Catch Me If You Can
• The Terminal
• War of the Worlds
• Munich

Will he succeed? Can he even crack the Top 20 with any of these?

I say 1 for Spielberg

Tbh I'm mainly wondering if it will be a Meryl Christmas now?
