Enjoy it while it lasts!

The new Indy flick didn't even come close to making Yahoo's most expected films of 2008 list.

Hence, the fall....

for what movie?
I think he's a great actor. he could be the next Harrison Ford or Tom Hanks.
but he was in Penguin, Scary and Giant Robot movies this year. You don't need to work very hard for roles like that.
You won't beat Ellen Page.
And she's really good at acting. And her movie was about Teen Pregnancy not surfing penguins.

He is a promising star. He had a strong year with Disturbia and Transformers.

I remember Shia LaBeouf when he was playing the trouble making little brother in Even Stevens, never did I think he'd go this far. Now, I thought he was great in TF, Disturbia, Holes, and Tru Confessions( TV movie he did years back) but this? Sorry but I doubt he'll win for TF. Compared to those other nominees, yeah he most likely won't even get near that award.
