Anyone give a shit about the Oscars?

movies are cool. here is a place to talk about how cool they are. or maybe how much they suck, sometimes. like that fucking piece of shit 'mac and me'. worst fucking movie ever, a two-hour ad for fucking coca-cola.

Even in Death, Corey Haim is snubbed by the Oscars.

It's that time again.

Since Drive got snubbed, I'm picking The Descendants even though everyone seems to be going gaga for The Artist which I thought was overrated.

For Leads, I'm picking Clooney and Viola Davis.
For Supporting, I'm gonna randomly pick Branagh and Octavia Spencer.

Cartoon will be one of the two foreign films.

Cinematography: WarHorse
Art Direction: Hugo
Costume: dont really care so we'll say Anonymous

Director: Alexander Payne. Because I've never understood how the Best Picture couldn't be Best Director. That makes no sense to me.

Documentaries (short and long): No clue.
Foreign Film: again, no clue.

Editing: eh. Nothing stood out for me. I'll say Moneyball, but it'll probably be The Artist.
Make Up: Probably Iron Lady.

Score: John Williams had two really good ones this year.
Song: Muppets! (although this is a sad category this year)

Short Films (live and animated): No clue.

Sound Editing: Drive. Because it was its only Nom. Watch Drive!
Sound Mixing: usually goes to the loudest movie, so Transformers.

Visual Effects: I'm gonna say Rise of the Apes. They'll probably go with Hugo, but eff them. I'd pick Dark of the Moon before Hugo.

Writing: The Descendants and The Artist will probably win.

Tintin didn't get nominated for Best Animated Feature, so I could not be bothered to give a fuck.

I picked 5 correctly. That's a record low for me.

Holy shit, Jaime Foxx's daughter Corrinne is epically smokin' hot.

Using the Jaws theme to cut awards speeches off is hilarious. How did it take them nearly 40 years to figure that one out?

He's sunk even lower than that. Shilling in a Pepsi commercial by parodying the line from the movie he won the Oscar for 20 years ago. What a fucking clown.

Apparently Boxtrolls is a better animated film than The Lego Movie, since it got nominated and TLM didn't.

Yeah, why wasn't the Lego Movie not simply handed the Best Picture statue during the nomination ceremony?

It saves time.

And the media is stirring up the race thing again

What does it matter? Did they ever think that just maybe there weren't any actors that are black that were good enough to put in the category? Should they just throw in a token and water it down just to try and look diverse? I'm so over this shit it's not even funny.

Edit: And re-reading that link I realize that I picked probably the most white hatingest page on the web on accident. Just google and find a more unbiased one.

I didn't even realize the Oscar Noms came out.

But how fuckin' cool is it that Mad Max is one of the most nominated movies this year? That's one of those things for the "20 years ago" Topic.

"In 2015 a Mad Max sequel will get Best Picture, Best Director and eight other Oscar Noms."
