The 84th Academy Award nominees were announced early this morning in LA, with Martin Scorsese’s ‘Hugo’ headlining things with 11 nominations, followed by silent movie ‘The Artist’ getting 10. Other things that jump out are ‘Drive’ getting shut out, Michael Shannon not getting a nomination for ‘Take Shelter’, the Dean of Greendale Community College nominated as a writer for best adapted screenplay, and two nominations for ‘Bridesmaids’ (supporting actress and screenplay).
Overall this list is pretty shitty. It’s boring, AND the show has Billy Crystal for a host. Which means I will have shot a flaming arrow into my TV by about the 20 minute mark.

if jonah fat ass fucking hill can get an oscar nomination than something is wrong. fuck that unfunny fuck face hack bastard
Not to mention Melissa McCarthy.
I always wondered who watches award shows. I figure it has to be fat chicks and gays because they are the only ones who would care about this.
The Academy awards based on the following criteria:
Is there a gay character? If not, is there a theme of black nobility? If not, whose turn is it?
Based on this, the winners are:
Best Movie: The Help (Black Nobility)
Best Director: Martin Scorsese (His Turn)
Best Actor: George Clooney (His Turn)
Best Actress: Viola Davis (Black Nobility)
Best Supt Actor: Christopher Plummer (His Turn)
Best Supt Actress: Octavia Spencer (Black Nobility, blackest sounding name)
Best Original Screenplay: Michel Hazanavicius (Fuck all those other guys)
Best Adapted Screenplay: Ides of March: George Clooney officially gets to be Hollywood Royalty.
I’ve seen exactly 0 of these movies so we’re get a true sense of how seriously the Academy followed the criteria.
Loriders post officially more interesting, entertaining and informative than the actual show
Lots of hot contenders for razzies this year. Probably about the same list
Moneyball……????
…are you fucking shitting me??
I just watched Moneyball this weekend.
It ran a close second to a night spent jacking off in my hockey glove.
Shouldn’t SOME of those movies at least sound a little familiar? Oh wait, I remember War Horse. I remember seeing a trailer for it and thinking “So this horse rides around a war kicking ass? That sounds alright…” It’s not.
I’m all in for Rooney Mara. And girl chick who love licking the old oyster ditch is ok with me.
Lucky hockey glove, eh Rokey?
only saw one fucking movie on there and that was warrior. it didnt completely suck donkey nuts.
These are not the boobs I wanna see.
Is Warhorse anything like Mr. Hands?
Oh my! I didn’t know (because I didn’t read the book or give a shi+ about seeing the movie) that Rooney Mara’s character was a lesbian! This changes everything. The award for best actress goes to Rooney Mara.
Tru dat, Lo.
Actually, I think she’s bi, which means she’s not averse to guiding your cock into some chick’s clam-crack.
I like that.
i looked at this list again but then i realized “war horse” is not the same as “war whores”
so ive still only seen one movie mentioned on this list of shit.
You’ve got to remember, these are the ass-clowns that voted “Chariots of Fire” as Best Picture. I have never met anybody that actually saw that flick.
I would pay GOOD money to watch “War Whores” when it comes to Cable….
Hasn’t Hollywood given themselves enough self congratulatory reach arounds? Can’t we just skip this shit this year?
I LIKE watching the Academy Awards show with my wife.
We watch and I say things like: “Who’s that?” and “What was that movie about?”……because my memory has faded….
If they want to juice the ratings they should offer categories like “Best Tits” or “Hottest Simulated Fuck Scene”……
…but I think Art doesn’t concern itself with ratings….
