OSCAR NOMS!

[green_queen]

corellianjedi tagged me. And since she recently bequeathed unto me indlime's soul AND hand for an icon of Josh Holloway, I figured I should probably oblige. *g*

Ground Rules: Name your Top 20 List Of Lust, in no particular order. Your neighbor or grade school teacher doesn't count. The list can be male, female or mixed. They can be real life celebrities or characters in a movie or TV show. For example, you might want to gag Mariska Hargitay, while still lusting after Butchy McFabulous Olivia Benson. Tag 5 people on your flist to do this meme.



Dominic Monaghan. Duh.



My wife.



Jake Gyllenhaal: the Pants Party.



Naveen Andrews. I mean, I run a freaking website for him.



Mike Rosenbaum, one of those people who appears to be made entirely of sexual energy.



Sirius Black, my shoebox_project boyfriend and the love of my life. Even if he's dead. And fictional.



Ewan McGregor, because he's Scottish. Oh, and gorgeous, too.



Colin Farrell, because he's Irish. Also, another one of those made-of-sex people.



Eliza Dushku, my first girlcrush.



Gael Garcia Bernal, who's sort of too beautiful to exist, really.



Paul Bettany! Or Chaucer, take your pick. I'll take either...



James Dean. He's like the ultimate sex symbol.



Robert Pattinson - 19 groupies AND A PIRATE!



The pirate Captain Jack Sparrow.



Sean Maher, who should never, ever be allowed to wear clothes.



Captain Tightpants Malcolm Reynolds, because badass and tortured is sexy.



Zoe Warren, or possibly Alleyne. She's so cool.



Brian Kinney. I mean, I could never have him, but I just like to look. Plus, bonus, lots of hot boykissing!



The Moseley. Sure, he makes me feel pervy, but there are compensations.



Dean Winchester (I'd say Jensen Ackles but I don't know much about him yet.)

I assure you, as I got towards the end of that list it was a fight for who went in and who was left out. On another day I probably would have included different people. Oh well.

hehe you're so excited that the whole end is underlined! lol
and your wife looks like Jake! ;)

[hobbitofkobol.livejournal.com]

oh, and why does everyone finds Colin Farrell very hot while he does nothing to me? I dunno, I just don't see it lol

I love the pics you chose for each hottie and what you did with them ;)

[green-queen.livejournal.com]

*shrugs* everybody's different.

I just picked SAGs pics for Dom, Maggie, Naveen and Jake, lol.

[green-queen.livejournal.com]

Jesus Christ on a pogo stick, woman, I'd only JUST posted. I hadn't even had time to look through for mistakes yet! They're fixed now.

[hobbitofkobol.livejournal.com]

oh yeah I know, I knew you'd fix it in a matter of minutes.
I just thought it was funny, as you had just said sth about underlining the categories lol

[indilime.livejournal.com]

W-W-WHAT!? She gave you my hand and soul!?!?!?!?! =OOO When did this occur? Why wasn't I informed? Do I mean that little to her?

Also, I am ECSTATIC about Terrence's nom!! Sooo happy he's finally getting the recognition he deserves.

[green-queen.livejournal.com]

Oh no, I don't own them yet. Just when she *dies* (http://green-queen.livejournal.com/438536.html?thread=5158152#t5158152).

I have to admit I've seen him in approximately nothing, but he is a cutie.

[indilime.livejournal.com]

Cutie? He is gorgeous! Also, may I recommend starting with Crash? There's approximately 2 seconds of Daniel Dae Kim in it as well! :D

[sassygirl.livejournal.com]

he was very good in Crash *nods firmly*

[green-queen.livejournal.com]

LOL well I haven't seen him in anything, remember! I can't base "gorgeous" on a few pictures scattered around the place.

I do want to see Crash, although I have my own issues with what I perceive to be the message of the film as far as I've heard.

[truffle-shuffle.livejournal.com]

Crash is fantastic and you should see it. I thought it made a lot of really good points as well. It's of course exaggerated for dramatic value (seeing as I live in LA and I've yet to have anything as bad as what happens in the movie happen to me or witness any of it happening around me), but on a whole it's just amazing. I highly recommend it.

[corellianjedi.livejournal.com]

I did not give them to her. I bequethed them to her.

I'm pretty sure I spelled that wrong, too.

[green-queen.livejournal.com]

Bequeathed.

That really is a pretty, pretty icon. It turned out perfect.

I'm so egotistical.

[corellianjedi.livejournal.com]

Ah, dangit, I knew there was another letter.

I happen to think it's a very pretty icon, too.

Yeah, but being egotistical is fun sometimes! *uses own icon to prove point*

[green-queen.livejournal.com]

Yes, yes it can. 90% of the time it's trial and error but occasionally an icon just comes together perfectly.

*uses own icon also*

[indilime.livejournal.com]

SHUSH, I did not read it properly. I saw my hand and soul mentioned and freaked out. They are precious.

[corellianjedi.livejournal.com]

I am aware of how precious they are. I rather like gazing at them on my bookshelf while I do homework.

[kilted.livejournal.com]

Your list is very lovely. And nice Oscar picks, haha.

[green-queen.livejournal.com]

Well, I like my list...

*g*

[corellianjedi.livejournal.com]

(I mean, it's John fucking Williams.)

Heh, yeah I was just gonna say, one of the things I have heard about BBM is that everyone loves the music. I haven't heard it so I can't really say, but it's going up against TWO John Williams scores (he did Munich too) so I dunno if it'll have a chance. I love JW and the Academy does too.


Mmmmmmmmmm pretty list. *licks*

[green-queen.livejournal.com]

I like John Williams a lot but I've heard bits of the Munich and Memoirs scores and they aren't groundbreaking or new from him, and they often border on overbearing. Gustavo Santallialo's score for Brokeback is really, really lovely and quiet and it has the perfect mood for the movie.

[green-queen.livejournal.com]

...Gustavo Santaolalla, I mean.

[varity.livejournal.com]

Dom on Leno is so hot. He's always hot, but he's extremely hot there. Thanks for the link. Yay for BBM getting 8 nominations.

[green-queen.livejournal.com]

That's because he didn't change out of his sexy suit from the night before *g*

[helloicons.livejournal.com]

Haha, I like this meme. I agree with a big part of your list.

And I'm realllly happy with all the Brokeback noms. I'm hoping that at least one of the actors will win, especially Heath, but I'm thinking that it'll be PSH (he does deserve it though).

[green-queen.livejournal.com]

I like it too. Obviously. *g*

I doubt either of them will win, but if Heath won I'd be really happy. Especially if Jake says the "Jack Nasty Loves You!" bit!

[rosamundeb.livejournal.com]

Damn... was that a new appearance on Leno, then? Missed it.

Like your black and white photo choices and how you "framed: each of them. *S* I think I could make up most of my list with the entire Firefly crew!

[green-queen.livejournal.com]

txvoodoo has it up if you want to see it.

LOL I just copied the framing from corellianjedi. But b&w'd them myself!

Yeah, I was like "But I want to shag ALL of the casts of Lost and Firefly!!!" It was hard for me to narrow it down to 20.

[rosamundeb.livejournal.com]

And that pic of Maggie? *guh* What a dress!

[green-queen.livejournal.com]

Guh, I know, she's so gorgeous and she dresses so well these days.

[entwashian.livejournal.com]

Eliza Dushku, my first girlcrush.

Aww, mine too.
