I sat through all the awards stuff and watched a couple of the winners, and I'm baffled why Choke won for best ensemble. I think Denny and Victor were both well cast, and I think Clark Gregg did a great job in his role, but the two leading women were both pretty weak, in my opinion. I mean, at times they were pretty good, but overall I think the casting dropped the ball there. I think The Wackness's cast was so much better - something I'd never imagine I'd ever say when one of the Olsen twins is in the movie.
