Fuck the Academy

I watch a lot of movies and almost never agree with the Academy’s selection of Oscar winners. Eventually, I will get my Oscar hatred web site (fucktheacademy.com) up and running but for the time being the Navy controls my life.
I saw an ad for the Oscars today but I’m working when they’re on. I’m willing to bet that Capote wins Best Picture and Phillip Seymour Hoffman wins Best Actor. The sad thing is that Capote really looked like a movie that was made just to win an Oscar. I feel the same way about A Beautiful Mind. (Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers should have won instead).
I ‘ve seen P.S.H. in other movies and he is a good actor, but anyone can talk like a fruity flight attendant. Is that all it takes to get nominated for an Oscar these days?
And right after the Oscar commercial I saw an ad for the Ultra Violet movie. I haven’t even seen this movie and already I can tell you that it sucks. Where have all the good movies gone? Hey, Hollywood, I don’t mind the comic book movies, but at least make good comic book movies. I need another Batman Begins or Spider-Man movie, not another rehash of the horrible Matrix trilogy.
For the record, the only nomination worth mentioning is Best Actress. Keira Knightley was nominated and she should win based soley on the fact that she’s gorgeous. Swallow your pride and don’t be prejudiced: Vote Keira.
P.S.
Craig, if you’re reading this, I’ll do anything you want for an autographed picture of KK, dude. Anything.

The only good thing about the Academy Awards is the 20 page report from Michael Dubetz on who he thinks is gonna win the Awards. I can’t wait until i get mine because lord knows i will be glued to the TV all day. I know you and Kate cant wait until you get your report either.

You’re starting to sound desperate. It’s not a good look. People get spooked by desperate people with access to nuclear reactors…
