Juno picks up Satellite Awards, named to AFI's Top 10

Juno won three Satellite Awards, the movie itself for "Best Motion Picture, Comedy or Musical", Ellen for "Best Actress in a Motion Picture, Comedy or Musical" and Diablo Cody for "Screenplay, Original", or basically the same categories it was nominated in for the Golden Globes. The film was also named to the American Film Institute's list of top ten films of the year.

Ellen on Ellen

During her talk show earlier today, Ellen DeGeneres (who by the way, is like my second favorite Ellen) mentioned that Ellen Page will be on the show in the next few weeks to promote Juno. I might've just hallucinated it though, I haven't slept in like 40 hours. Violet is flawed.

...can't help but feel this is a good time to bring up a certain movie regarding lesbian werewolves.

IMDB's Daily Trivia

I visit IMDB on a daily basis, admittedly, just to see whose birthdays it is. Don't ask. The movie site also has a "Daily Trivia", for which today's was "This starlet has named Patti Smith and Kate Winslet as two of her idols". Oh, you know the answer, don't you?

Juno, Ellen picks up Golden Globe noms

Juno itself is nominated for Best Motion Picture - Musical or Comedy, Ellen for Best Performance by an Actress in a Motion Picture - Musical or Comedy and Diablo Cody for Best Screenplay - Motion Picture. For a full list of awards and nominees, click here.

...no one gets snubbed at awards quite like Laura Linney.

Juno soundtrack now available

I spelled available correctly on my first try. Awesome.

Anyways, the soundtrack to Juno can now be had on iTunes. If you're too cool for iTunes, the CD comes out on January 15, 2008. The track listing is as follows:

1. All I Want Is You, Barry Louis Polisar
2. Rollercoaster (instrumental), Kimya Dawson
3. A Well Respected Man, The Kinks

...you wouldn't think it, but Piazza's been a really underrated hitter.

Juno picks up six Critics' Choice nominations

...second only to Into the Wild, which had seven.

Juno itself was nominated for Best Picture, Best Comedy and Best Ensemble. Ellen was nominated for Best Actress, and Michael Cera was nominated for Best Young Actor. He also has a second nomination in the same category for Superbad. Diablo Cody also picked up a nomination for Best Writer.

Juno makes huge debut

Juno hauled in $420,113 over the weekend in just seven theaters, with a per-theater average of $60,016. It's overall total is now $531,000.

That's all really more than I would've thought.

For comparison, Atonement had the second highest PTA with a distant $25,528, and the top film at the box office, The Golden Compass, managed only $7,405.
