Dorm: Pennypacker Hometown: The ATL Relationship status: Single Three words that describe you: Paisley panda grandpa Hottest trait: This is a terrible question, do I have to answer this one? Haha then definitely my southern accent. Definitely. Ya’ll. Claim to Harvard fame: Muumuus Best part about becoming a sophomore: HOUSES!

...likely be compared to Little Miss Sunshine, which came from the same production company. There's the dark humor, the pathos, the suicide theme, the misfit child everyone adores and last but not least, Alan Arkin, who plays Rose and Norah's father Joe.

The voting members of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts & Sciences don't care that you liked The Dark Knight, which is the second biggest dollar-earner in movie history, and which kids and critics alike appreciated less as a live-action comic book than a triangular battle of stern Good, giggling Evil and two faces in between. Except for a Heath Ledger memorial citation (Supporting Actor), the film was shut out of all major award categories, taking seven other doorstop prizes...
