Jake Gyllenhaal and the Noughties - The Nominations Part One

The end of the year - nay, the decade - doth approach and you know what that means. It's time to dust off your frock, iron your dickie bow and stink out your home with shoe polish, but wait! Before you do all that, there is work to do in these last remaining Noughtie Days. Clearly, at WDW, there's not a huge amount of doubt concerning the identity of the Actor of the Decade, but there are a lot of other questions that need to be cleared up before we don our early medieval Persian accessories and get on with the Teenies. Time to vote for the Best of the GyllenNoughties. This is Part One, circling around the edges, before moving in for the most fiercely contested awards tomorrow.

Noughtie Hat

As we go in to the next decade, may we hope that we have Less Hat More Hair.








Noughtie Toy

Jake Gyllenhaal may be Jake Gyllenhaal but even he needs a furry friend. Whereas I have Pluto, there is a flurry of candidates for GyllenPlush of the Noughties - which has your vote?






Obviously, an ostrich will win next decade. In fact, the ostrich will win Best Animal of the Decade.

Noughtie Shoes

If anyone votes for the felt things there'll be trouble.








This photo combines two nominations - Best Shoes and Best Thing.


Noughtie Spandex

Please forgive me if I don't talk over this bit.







Noughtie Cute Moment

I realise how difficult it is to try and pin down the defining cute moment of the decade - there have been countless such moments. Here's a selection.





Noughtie Jeans

Tight, loose, long, short, buttoned, zipped, belted, hanging, distressed, new - noone wears jeans like Jake Gyllenhaal and possibly noone hangs on to them quite like he does. Sometimes, maybe, you have to let go.






Noughtie T-shirt

It is well known that Jake Gyllenhaal has at least a whole floor of his house dedicated to housing his unrivalled t-shirt collection. Here are some of them - the ones that were easiest to reach...










Noughtie Atti Moments

Never, ever, let Atticus near a white dog... unless you have a camera to hand, then put Atticus near a white dog.





Please put all voting papers in the box provided.

    Hi, WDW

    I'm assuming that you want us to vote on the entries you've rpesented, so here are my votes:

    1. Hat
    I vote for the baseball cap with the "B" on it. The "B" stands for Boston," meaning the Boston Red Sox." I cannot be against the wearing of such a hat! :-)

    2. Shoes
    I vote for the good brown leather shoes, which are elegant yet casual. Jake wore them on MV at least once.

    3. Toy
    I vote for the octopus

    4. Spandex.
    Any of the above. I really can't tell much difference between the entries. Was this a trick question>

    5. Cute moment
    I vote for the time when Jake gave Kirsten a kitten. I melt in the rpesence of kittens. Kittens sometimes melt, too, as in pee on me, but if I were Jake and Kirsten, I would forgive the little critter anything it did.

    6. Jeans
    I can't tell much difference between one pair of jeans and another. I bet many of the entries were the same pair.

    7. T-Shirt
    It's been a long day, and I can't cope with complexity. I go with blakc and white. The first one is white. I also like the black one that jake is wearing in the picture where he has a white knit hat on his head. I prefer the black. I think it's a good fit for jake.

    Hi Paul! Thanks for taking the time to do my frivolous vote :D

    I thought I'd slip the Red Sox hat in there, I have one a little like it - happy sigh :)

    The spandex was indeed a trick question although I did examine it thoroughly.

    Jake and kittens - I fear this is almost unbeatable.

    I like the black tshirt too and it is an Iron Man one - even better.

    Hope everyone's having a good day :D Sightings of Jake in NYC with Maggie and Peter - c'mon NYC, did noone get a camera for Christmas?! :D

    Argh! My stupid computer won't let me post my original comment, apparently it's too big or something. I'll have to answer tomorrow when I get to work. This was a really good idea, WDW. :)

    Wow! My head is reeling with these gorgeous pictures! Thank you, WDW, for this difficult yet beautiful poll!

    I've had a couple of glasses of Chianti so I think it's a great time to give my votes...LOL! I first have to say I'm laughing at Olympia's post being too long to get through...hee hee...longer than mine this time Olympia!! *smirks* I also want to tell Olympia that I love what you shared about Imaginarium and, honestly, some of the things you said could have come straight from my mouth...especially about people in RL not understanding how this will effect us. I'm with you on that and this is why I saw DK alone the first time and will do the same for this movie. *heavy sigh* More later on this I guess. On with the poll!!

    1. Hat - I'm with Paul. There is nothing better than Jake in a Boston Red Sox Hat...nothing! I do love him in a beanie, though...but the Red Sox? Can't beat that.
    2. Toy - Elmo. Nothing cuter. Period.
    3. Shoes - Love the boots but I'm a Nike girl from way back so any Nikes on Jake will do and then some. (Although I do have a pic of myself in front of the 461 North Bedford Drive sign holding a RiteAid bag which makes me really like that pic of him in the flip flops...but...I'm sticking with the Nikes).
    4. Spandex - Could things get more difficult?! You're killing me here WDW!! All of them. All of them. Just, all of them. (Oooh but that third picture holding the Coke bottle...THUD)!
    5. Cute - Oh boy. So cute. That kitten? So cute. This is all so sugary I think I'm going to go on to the next set of photos (but love them all...truly)!
    6. Jeans - Could never pick. I like the "regulars" that he wears most of the time (obviously his favs). I prefer jeans on him tighter rather than looser but he seems to like those loose ones. He's 29. He should do whatever he wants...LOL!
    7. T-shirt - Again, way too hard. Love the postage stamp tee as obviously he loves it. Wish we had one of him in a Red Sox tee. Someone should buy him one.
    8. Atti - picture #1. Scratching Atticus' belly with underwear showing. Yup, that's a keeper!

    Is that it? Can we get more? I want more pictures to vote on! LOL!

    Okay...the family is looking at me like "what on earth are you doing over there?" and I don't think I want to tell them...hee hee! I hope this comment is not too long...can't wait to see if Olympia beats me!!

    Can't wait until the next poll!

    :-)

    Morning all! Where did this rain come from...?

    Thanks Get Real! I hope things are good with you :D

    Morning BBMISwear :-) Chianti is an excellent accompaniment for voting. Yeah, we have to get Jake a Red Sox shirt. I'm hoping in 2010 Jake will use every opportunity to get out thre in spandex. And yeay, another Nike Girl :D

    Sorry to hear that Jake and Maggie's parents were divorced on Christmas Eve. Nothing like having something like that hanging over you during the holidays...

    I hope everyone has a good day!

    Jake. I vote for Jake. Just Jake. :)

    There is a very important jeans picture missing. I know its a favourite of yours WDW, so I'm hoping it will be in part 2. It's also a good boots pic, which I much prefer over Nike. I like a man in boots and jeans that show off his long legs, especially this particular man.

    Hi there Ruby Rubes! And what an excellent choice :D

    Oh that pic - that pic is quite possibly my favourite pic of Jake, it could even be the best picture ever taken, ever. Ahem... That was left out for a reason :D

    I accidentally just bought Avatar the Game for the wii - I may need tips... I'm buzzing a bit at the mo as I just bought my first latte for nearly 2 weeks - I got an extra shot in it, just for good measure.

    Ooooh...favorite picture being saved for something else?! Whooowheee...that must mean more good stuff to come this week! (Not that there isn't always good stuff here...but looking back on these pictures is heart stopping - and distracting - I'm suppose to be being productive not gawking at pictures of Jake Gyllenhaal on line)!

    Sad news about Jake's parents but based on people I know that have gone through the same it's usually a feeling of relief. If they've been separated for almost 2 full years, as reported, then they've probably been tired of this hanging over their heads. Getting the paperwork finalized means their lives can move on with the new year and new decade after dealing with divorce details for two years. Again, I'm just basing this on people I know who have gone through divorces and how they felt. I wish them all the best. And happy freaking new year to everyone because I'm personally ready for a new year!!

    Okay...I've rambled enough...lots of caffeine for me too WDW! Onward I go...but I'll be back because I'm looking forward to more votes on these wonderful pictures!

    :-)

    Morning BBMISwear! :-) I definitely think perusing hot pics of Jake as a fine use of one's time :D

    I agree - after such a long process, time to move on and I hope have a happy 2010. I am so ready for 2010!

    Will it ever stop raining! If anyone's interested done a post about Disaster Movies at MB.

    Hey there Sheba! Aha - Gotcha! That t-shirt is in the post! It's one of my faves... admittedly the boots aren't - ahem...

    Hope you're having a good week :D

    Can anyone answer an age old question for me? What on earth has happened to my frying pan?

    ReplyDelete
  14. Anonymous29 December 2009 at 16:12

    All right, let's see...

    Hat - I vote for any hat but the grampa hats. I can't believe he has more than one of those... (insert eye rolling smilie here)

    Toy - The octopus. They're so cute together. And separated too. :DDD

    Shoes - Are those the cowboy boots in the third pic? If so, I vote for those. If not, can I add them to the ballot?

    Spandex - I'll say the last one but the bare chest showing ones get a special mention. Oh, and the one with Chris gets a negative vote from me. Can we do that? Worst. Spandex. Outfit. Ever. Along with the orange one. *shudder*

    Cute - The mini bike, it always makes me giggle. I would have voted for the Happy Birthday Cannes video if it had been nominated. Jake's the most adorable dork ever.

    Jeans - The Jeans.

    T-shirt - The postal shirt because it's a Jake classic like The Jeans. But you can't really go wrong with any T-shirt on Jake.

    Atti moment - Awwww, I can't decide, I love every Atti moment. He seems like such a great dog. :)

    See BBMISwear, it's not that long of a comment, the problem is with my old, slow, stupid home computer. :D

    This is fun, I can't wait for the next categories. :)

  16. Wet Dark and Wild29 December 2009 at 16:43

    Yeay! Olympia :D Glad you found a computer that works... Oh, the spandex for the run with Chris - surely one of the greatest crimes ever committed against spandex. Actually, no. I think the orange was even worse! Watch this space for that one...

    And I love, love the bike pic! Jake is such a rare beast - sexy and geeky all bundled into one adorable, talented, intelligent hunk!

    Not such good news about the frying pan :( I had to fry a veggieburger in a wok.

  17. paulh29 December 2009 at 18:17

    Now that I've reread my ballot, I realize that I left out the favorite Atti moment. WDW.lease don't shoot me for this, but I vote for the one with the white dog, even though it was your least favorite. Sorry. :-(

    (But Atticus is a great dog. Every picture that has him in it is bound to be a good one)

    Yes thanks WDW had a great christmas. Hope you did too xx

    Ok will let you off with the Tshirt but not the boots. They sum up Jake's personality very well. Love the Bobu pic of Jake tickling Atti. Just want to substitute myself with Atti and especially the (I surrender) bear.

    Did you not season your frying pan? I would recommend a dutch pot :o))

    WOW this is rough! I don't mind the knit hat, though the Boston Red Sox hat is nice too.

    I like him in a nice pair of sneakers (cause they're comfy)

    and I liked that chest getting some air while he was riding his bike (the red jacket with plenty of chest exposed)

    I also liked when he had that ball thrower for Atticus in his hand.

    Toy? hmmmmm like the bear hug

    oh giving Kirsten a kitten was cute!

    Hi there Paul! I must admit to rather liking the little white dog pic myself :D In Hollywood Atti must run across dogs like that all the time - must make for fun walking him.

    Hi Sheba! That lucky bear... sigh. Mea culpa with the boots :D

    Hey Sweetpea :D Definitely a good idea for Jake to get some chest air while cycling - much better for him!
