And The Nominees Are Well the Academy really doesn’t give a shit what movies 95% of normal people like apparently as The Dark Knight is snubbed from not only Picture and Screenplay but they have the audacity to not give anything to Christopher Nolan. I mean a)who other than people like me have seen The Reader or Frost/Nixon? And of those who did see it, who IN THEIR FUCKING MIND thought those films should be in the discussion of “great film”. Oh and don’t think they were done telling you to fuck off, as they ignore America and don’t vote in anything for Gran Torino (even though I didn’t like it, America does). And the worst snub other than obviously Picture and Director is the fact that Springteen wasn’t nominated for The Wrestler. I mean these people don’t know shit, and on that note: Fuck off Academy. Best Picture: The Curious Case of Benjamin Button Frost/Nixon Milk The Reader Slumdog Millionaire Seriously? Frost/Nixon was dumb as shit and the Reader is porno for Nazi sympathizers. Best Director: David Fincher - The Curious Case of Benjamin Button Ron Howard - Frost/Nixon Gus Van Sant - Milk Danny Boyle - Slumdog Millionaire Stephen Daldry - The Reader To give The Reader a BP slot is one thing, but to say that Daldry’s (and Howard’s and Van Sant’s) direction is superior to Nolan is a fucking joke. Best Actor: Brad Pitt - The Curious Case of Benjamin Button Mickey Rourke - The Wrestler Sean Penn - Milk Frank Langella - Frost/Nixon Richard Jenkins - The Visitor A list I’m actually okay with.

Oh and don’t think they were done telling you to fuck off, as they ignore America and don’t vote in anything for Gran Torino (even though I didn’t like it, America does).

And the worst snub other than obviously Picture and Director is the fact that Springteen wasn’t nominated for The Wrestler. I mean these people don’t know shit, and on that note: Fuck off Academy.
