The Equal Time award goes to Baby Mama. Since another Live Free or Die Hard movie came out in 2007 with Bruce Willis as John McClane (a subliminal salute to John McCain), it was only fair in 2008 to release a movie that sounds like Barack Obama.
The Equal Time (runner-up) award goes to Frost/Nixon. In the credits, we see that Man at Disco is played by John Kerry.
The Slow Learners Class award goes to Swing Vote. The kids have been in school for months, but their teacher Mrs. Abernathy still has her name on the chalkboard.
2009 The Going to the Dogs award goes to Marley & Me, which has Eric Dane in the cast.
The Let's Plug His Other Movie award goes to Eagle Eye. Billy Bob Thornton says "You plan on becoming a farmer?", an obvious reference to The Astronaut Farmer.
The Wheel of Fortune award goes to Kit Kittredge an American Girl. With its steal-from-the-rich-and-give-to-the-poor theme and Chris O'Donnell in the cast, we can clearly imagine Pat and Vanna devising "Batman and Robin Hood" as a Before and After puzzle.
The Freudian Slip? award goes to Meet Dave. Eddie Murphy tells Elizabeth Banks that he knows that the BeeGees were Robin, Barry, and Maurice, except that he pronounces Maurice as "More-Reese" instead of the correct "Morris". Then, it turns out that Elizabeth's cat is Morris.
The Yes, We Get the Inside Joke award goes to What Happens in Vegas. The card-gamed themed movie featured a Jack (Ashton Kutcher's character) and a Queen (Latifah).
The What Do You Get When You Cross 2 Nicolas Cage Movies? award goes to What Happens in Vegas, which combines Honeymoon in Vegas and It Could Happen to You (another movie where the male lead promises to split his potential winnings). And, both What Happens in Vegas and Honeymoon in Vegas has its male lead named Jack.
The City of Brotherly Love award goes to Mark Wahlberg. He appears in another movie set in Philadelphia (The Happening), following Shooter from 2007 and Invincible from 2006. Continuing in the brother theme, he also had appeared in Four Brothers, and has 5 brothers in real life.
The City of Brotherly Love (runner-up) award goes to Greg Kinnear, who appeared in Baby Mama, set in Philadelphia, and had also appeared as the Eagles' coach in Invincible.
The All the English Teachers Just Cringed award goes to Definitely, Maybe. Ryan Reynolds says "Let me tell you the true story of how me and your mother met".
The All the English Teachers Just Cringed (runner-up) award goes to Last Chance Harvey. James Brolin says "I'd like you to join Harvey and I in a toast".
The All the English Teachers Just Cringed (tie for runner-up) award goes to The Great Buck Howard, which has the line "If you can show Troy and I around".
The I Guess it Wasn't That Memorable award goes to The Great Buck Howard. Steve Zahn compliments Buck on a past performance and says "I saw you, 1989, Bowling Green University"; the actual name is Bowling Green State University.
The Picky, Picky, Picky award goes to Definitely, Maybe. Ryan Reynolds tells his daughter that he met a girlfriend in 1992, but the flashback shows that they met just before midnight on New Year's Eve, so technically, it was in 1991.
The In High School Literature, We Called this a Foreshadow award goes to 27 Dresses. In the early scene at the airport, we see someone holding a sign with "Miller", to meet an arriving party. At the end of the movie, Katherine Heigl is at a Miller wedding. Is it same Miller? More important, do you even care?
The Prior Experience Required award goes to Sigourney Weaver in Vantage Point, who was in another movie (Dave) that involved a substitute for the president.
The NOT Nominated for Best Achievement in Film Editing award goes to Yes Man. In the Nebraska football game scene, just before the teams take the field, we can see that the play clock is counting down, as if the game is in progress.
The Are All Harvard Students This Sharp? award goes to The Great Debaters. When the students from Texas are holding a sign that has "Wiley College" while waiting for their contact in Boston, the contact arrives and asks: "Wiley College?".
