Oh hey guys, it's that time of year! The holiday season is regrettably over and we are left with nothing but several gifts to return and a hazy memory of getting too drunk over Christmas Eve and falling asleep on your patient but annoyed dog. That's what the Christmas season is all about, am I right?
Anyway, the ballots for the 2012 Academy Awards have been sent out. This is why you see so many "For your consideration" ads on the more official (read: more boring) film sites around the internet. Yes, War Horse, we get it. You're kind of automatically in the race (PUN INTENDED) because it's a movie about war, majestic pets, and directed by Steven Spielberg.
This is really just a time for the ass kissers and pretentious folks in film to remind themselves just how awesome they are. Harvey Weinstien is probably sitting on his golden throne, laughing. Sick with jealousy? Me? No.
I just want there to be some surprises in the nominations, but there won't be. There never is. If there was any justice in the world, Melissa McCarthy will get nominated (and eventually win) Best Supporting Actress. But she won't because that's just not how these things work.
Also, doesn't anyone think that it should be the 2011 Academy Awards considering that it's honoring the films that came out in 2011? Semantics are hard.
Thus ends the most pointless and whiniest post of all time.
Check out the Golden Globe nominations.
The Independent Spirit Award nominations.
The SAG Award nominations.
