and the respect Green Day is getting long overdue....

It's very nice to see Green Day in the list there, but I would rather see performance without American Idiot-cast. I mean, the performance in Grammys was incredible, but it was so unique that I think it's not so nice to see them too many times. At least I hope their performing some other song than 21 Guns but I think that's not happening. Don't take me wrong :happy:

Kathryn Bigelow is the director of the "Hurt Locker." She is the first woman in serious contention for the Best Director Award of the Oscars. She's up against her ex-husband, James Cameron, who directed "Avatar."

Nora Ephron is one of the foremost writers of our time. Screenplays, books, prolific.

I think this is such a great recognition to be given to Green Day. It's only the second time for USA Network to do this, first time I've heard of the Award, but they are definitely characters and certainly approved!

I actually like that shot of Billie. Makes him look mature. Sorry, some of us appreciate that every once in awhile! :)

I've never heard of those awards before, but from what I've read in the thread, that's awesome.

Billie looks really tired and concerned in that pic. It's a cool picture, though.

Pity they don't have the whole band.

Wait, I don't get it: so only the AI cast will perform, right? No Green Day, right? Sorry, just making sure xD

But it's nice to see them up there in such a list, would have never expected that, honestly.
