Sijmen's List of Classics
March 5, 2009

Sijmen's List of Mainstream Classics wants to list the greatest classics year by year, as an alternative for the sometimes mediocre Academy Award's best picture nominations.

Since the list strives to be a sort of résumé of cinematic history, it includes as much genres, countries and trends as possible.

And now Sijmen and his jury decided on The Classics of 2008! Enjoy!


Sijmen's Oscar Experiment
January 25, 2009

With a prediction rate of 80 % the Formula didn't do very well, but still it faired better than most Oscar pundits (particularly in the best actor, best actress and best original screenplay categories)

After category confusion of Kate Winslet's The Reader, Leonardo Dicaprio's The Departed (2006) and Keisha Castle-Hughes' Whale Rider (2009) it's time to delete the Courtney Love Rule (which is 12 years old) and replace it by a new category definition. I'll start working on that soon...

Actor Score

1. Penn
2. Rourke
3. Langella
4. Pitt
5. Jenkins

Sijmen's Banane d'Or 2008
January 4, 2009

You will never read from them in the papers, since the Banane d'Or management wants to stay far away from all the usual media hoopla. Nevertheless, this little Begian award has grown to become the industry's highest honor.

This is probably the only website out there that has all the winners since the award's first year in 1990!
