The DimBulb 2007 Movie Awards
With 30 movies seen this past year, the DimBulb Screen Guild would like to give their Nominations and Winners of the “DimBulb at the Movies 2007”. The nominees were chosen from the 30 movies the DimBulb personally saw in the THEATERS. These movies may have been seen again on video but the ratings, nominations, and winners were based on movies seen in the theater and how the total movie experience impacted the DimBulb’s decision.
