best jaw-dropping moment nominee favorites.

What used to be called “Best WTF Moment,” Best Jaw-Dropping Moment is virtually that moment in a movie that you will never forget. This is why Ken Jeong’s naked trunk surprise from “The Hangover” was a clear winner in the category last year. This year is a little more open. I can almost guarantee you that having James Franco cut of his own arm in “127 Hours” will make the list just as having the cafe explode in “Inception” with Leonardo DiCaprio and Ellen Page will probably get a nomination. But that’s about as far as I can even begin to guess who will get nominations for this category. The hangnail Natalie Portman pulls into an all out need for stitches from “Black Swan” could make an appearance. But other than that, I can’t even really begin to guess. I’d imagine scenes from “Grown Ups,” “Get Him To The Greek,” and “Little Fockers” might take the rest of them, but I have no favorites.
