Michel Gondry, Will Shortz Share the RT Golden Tomato Love

[ Media Mentions , The Office ]
by Jen Yamato

Jen here. I just got back from an exhilarating trip to NYC (first time ever!) to meet with two of our Golden Tomato winners, both of whom are responsible for some of my favorite things in the world: crossword puzzles and super-cool dreamy artsy handcrafty cinema!

First up was our meeting with Will Shortz -- yes, fellow nerds, THE Will Shortz, editor and puzzler extraordinaire of the painstakingly addictive NY Times crossword puzzle. If you haven't seen "Wordplay," our GTA winner for best documentary, and you're a nut for Across and Down mind-bending fill-in-the-blanks-if-you-can crosswords, go rent it now! Seven letter word for Will Shortz? Awesome!

The next day we (myself, our fantastic photog Kevin, and my filmmaking buddy Geoff) paid Michel Gondry a visit in his Soho office, where he obliged us by posing for fabulously wacky photos with the esteemed prize of merit, our 20-lb. Golden Tomato trophy (for best romance, "The Science of Sleep"). If you're a Gondry fan and haven't seen "Science" yet -- well, what kind of Gondry fan are you??

Meanwhile, Tim chatted with Comedy Golden Tomato winner Larry Charles (director of "Borat"), Senh met "Wordplay" filmmakers Patrick Creadon and Christine O'Malley (and their three-legged pup), and plenty of other GTA winners weighed in on winning the coolest critical award of the year.
