Robert Downey Jr. already has one Golden Globe win under his belt for his work on "Ally McBeal," but he'll return to the running this year thanks to "Sherlock Holmes," and that nomination has his "Iron Man 2" director Jon Favreau quite pleased.
Less pleased on Twitter yesterday was Chris Ryall, who thinks KISS got shafted by the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame to make way for ABBA's induction. Check out his retweeted thoughts after the jump along with some Mitch Breitweiser art, Tony Millionaire on why a magazine rejected his "Maakies" comic and Ivan Brandon's triumphant post about accurately predicting the Twitter Report headline yesterday.
It's all in today's report for December 16, 2009.
@ivanbrandon as expected, @mtvsplashpage runs brian bendis' underpants as the lead item. i'd collect $ but it was obv to everyone and no one took the bet
-Ivan Brandon, Writer ("Viking," "NYC Mech")
@Jon_Favreau Congratulations to Robert Downey Jr on his Golden Globe nomination.
-Jon Favreau, Director ("Iron Man," "Iron Man 2")
@chris_ryall The only way to explain Abba getting into the Hall of Fame over Kiss is through their movies: Mamma Mia did better than Detroit Rock City.
-Chris Ryall, Publisher ("IDW")
Coughing pt 1: @BRIANMBENDIS dear bendis children, please stop coming up to me and coughing in my open mouth. huag!!
-Brian Michael Bendis, Writer ("New Avengers," "Ultimate Spider-Man")
Coughing pt 2: @JoshFialkov @BRIANMBENDIS You know your fans would pay for the privilege of your children coughing in their mouths. College fund time!
-Joshua Hale Fialkov, Writer ("Cyblade," "Elk's Run")
@skottieyoung Now that I'm on a few Best of 09 lists I kind of pissed when I find a list I'm not on. Goddamn internet, don't you know who the f I am?

@tonymillionaire A magazine rejected Maakies because they didn't like talking animals. It was too much like Pogo, by the way one of the greatest comics ever.
-Tony Millionaire, Writer/Artist ("Sock Monkey," "Maakies")
@JhonenV Oh, how I'd prefer for them to just do away with real actors at all in that Alice in Wonderland movie. The mix is just grotesque there.
-Jhonen Vasquez, Writer/Artist ("Johnny the Homicidal Maniac," "Invader Zim")
