The Oscar Post

We in the killin' Nazi business. And cousin, Business is a-boomin'. Although, to be perfectly honest, I would have liked to see more dead Nazis. I mean, there were a lot of dead Nazis, but you really can never have too many dead Nazis.

First of all, this whole 10 nominee thing for best picture is pure fucking bullshit. Fuck that. Of those 10, here's the 5 that should probably get a nomination - Inglorious Basterds, The Hurt Locker, Up in the Air, and then maybe A Serious Man and District 9.

Best Picture
Should win - Up in the Air or Inglorious Basterds
Will win - The Hurt Locker. It was a very technically sound movie, but it had absolutely nothing new to say about war. It's harsh, so I hear. Also, the hero was a loose cannon who didn't play by the rules, but he had a heart of gold. OOOOOOOO real fucking original! I won't be too pissed if it wins, because, as I said, it was technically sound and there isn't one thing that stands out as being drastically better than everything else.

Best Director
Should - Quentin fucking Tarantino. Or Jason Reitman.
Will - Either James Cameron or Kathyrn "I don't know how to spell Katherine" Bigelow. FUCK James Cameron. Yeah, you had really good special effects, but your lame movie sucked balls.

Actor
Should and will - either Jeff Bridges or George Clooney. Edge to Bridges.

Supporting Actor
Should and obviously will - Christoph Waltz. No question.

Actress
I haven't seen a single one of these movies... Sandra Bullock will probably win, and from what I've heard she deserves it.

Supporting Actress
I'd really like to see Anna Kendrick win, although it sounds like Mo'nique will, and I hear she deserves it.

Best Animated
Up will win, and I loved it, although I've heard really good things about some of the other nominees.

Adapted Screenplay
Up in the Air should win I think, but I'm not positive it will.

Original Screenplay
I seriously hope Inglorious Basterds wins. It was about 60 fucking billion times more original than The Hurt Locker.

Killing Hitler should get you a god damned Oscar!

This came through today, and it is fucking hilarious.

Oscar thoughts

I'm behind this year.

"Up in the Air" was very, very good, and so far it's easily my favorite of the year. "Inglorious Basterds" was Tarantino's best since "Pulp Fiction," so I expect some kind of nomination. "Up" is gonna win best animated film without a doubt. It doesn't seem like a great year. Not bad, just not great.

Um, is it a black guy?

So I'm thinking about starting a book club at LE, with an emphasis on banned or controversial books. Thoughts?

I also already have the perfect retort ready for anyone who says anything that I disagree with: "Really? Cause I thought that was an allegory for your mom. At least that's what she told me when I was teabagging her with my balls last night. She was like, 'That *mmf* is *mmfmf* totally *mff* an *mfmf* alle *mmfff* gory *mfmm* for *gurgle* me.'"

I just can't think of England

Here's a question: Is role playing during a job interview unethical if the interviewee doesn't know he or she is involved in role playing? This didn't happen to me, but they did it with the pages they were interviewing, and when I heard about it it didn't seem quite right.

Question two: During a job interview, is it ever appropriate for the interviewee to say, "I've got a riddle for you - What has two thumbs and a boner? *points both thumbs at self* This guy."

That last one was put in there just because I promised dick jokes but haven't really delivered.
