Awards Season 2011

[knives]

Yep. We are not in the '50s any longer. I kind of think the award should go away until musicals come back in vogue.

[Brian C]

was there really only two songs nominated?

Yes. Apparently it's the category minimum in the event that more songs don't get enough votes to qualify.

[domino harvey]

I like these graphic title cards

[HistoryProf]

come on Tinker Tailor!!

[domino harvey]

DEAN DEAN DEAN DEAN DEAN

[HistoryProf]

dammit.

[Brian C]

I like the design of the title cards for the screenplay nominations here. IOW, ditto dom

[Cold Bishop]

Dean Pelton!

[knives]

The dean must feel so awkward for winning for a script he didn't write.

[domino harvey]

Oh my God, Dean Pelton striking a pose and everything. Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes

[Brian C]

That kills Hugo's Picture chances, doesn't it?

What a crummy choice though.

[domino harvey]

Woody Allen, naturally

[Brian C]

Didn't realize A Separation's script was written in English. I nominate the translator.

[domino harvey]

That kills Hugo's Picture chances, doesn't it?

Well, now neither it or the Artist have a Screenplay win, so who knows

[HistoryProf]

Angelina is in desperate need of hitting that buffet Billy mentioned.

[knives]

He isn't here? That fills me with so much happiness.

[Jeff]

Oh my God, Dean Pelton striking a pose and everything. Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes

He was mocking Angelina Jolie's leg thrust. If Community ever gets to make more episodes, they need to put him in that dress.

[domino harvey]

He isn't here? That fills me with so much happiness.

Everyone knew he was going to win, too, he just truly doesn't give a damn

[Jeff]

He isn't here? That fills me with so much happiness.

He's been nominated 15 times and won four. He hasn't shown up once.*

* Except when they got him to do a special presentation after 9/11. Wasn't nom'd that year.

[Brian C]

It's about time the Academy realized the brilliance of holding the short subject awards until the end. Millions of Oscar pools hang in the balance and THEY DAMN WELL KNOW IT.

[knives]

What's she doing at the Oscars?

[Professor Wagstaff]

Allen only showed up that once after September 11th to beg Hollywood to keep filming in New York City.

[Brian C]

I skipped Bridesmaids in order to avoid Kristen Wiig. Joke's on me.

[knives]

Guess this is the year of fart jokes, sigh.

[domino harvey]

Who wears a hat to the Oscars, dude
