Things that make me go Hmmmmmm..... (haha remember The Arsenio Hall show? Shit, I loved that show)



Revolutionary Road was pretty much shut out other than a nomination for the guy who played Kathy Bates awesomely crazy son. Maybe the Academy voters all offed themselves after watching it? I know I wanted to. Good movie but as Kanye would say, DAMN!!!! THAT WAS SOME DEPRESSING SHIT!!!!! Made me feel totally cool about not being married anymore though.



How much do I looooove that Robert Downey Junior got nominated for Tropic Thunder? "I'm a dude playing a dude disguised as another dude." I can't wait to see him all suited up on the red carpet. This bitch is 'fine wining it' which is to say he is getting better with age.



Too bad my RDJ is probably gonna lose out to Heath Ledger. I ain't hatin' though, he was wicked awesome in The Dark Knight, scared the crap out of me. Plus, I think actually dying might make you a sure thing to grab an Oscar, like even more so than playing a retard. Or gay. Or British. Shit, could you imagine the awards if someone died after playing a retarded gay with a British accent?


Speaking of Mr. Ledger, grab your 40 and pour some of that shit on sidewalk today in honour of him. It was a year ago today that Heath peaced outta here.


I can't wait to hear the shout out Mickey Rooney's dogs are gonna get if he wins. I still love him for thanking his canine friends during his Golden Globe speech. And for using the word 'balls' like a dozen times.


And of course, the Prom King and Queen are each nominated. Hopefully Angelina won't be wearing something from the Dorothy Zbornak collection like she did for the Golden Globes.


Wolverine is hosting the Oscars this year which go down on February 22nd. I see a Billy Crystalesque song and dance number in our future. I personally loved when Chris Rock and Jon Stewart hosted that shit but they didn't seem to go over too well. I think Ricky Gervais needs to be next.Source URL: http://extravagancedeplumes.blogspot.com/2009/01/damn-oscars-are-some-benjamin-button.html
