About those Oscar nominations…

21712113-3

  • Will Hollywood’s hatred of racism provide a convenient cover for its fear of gays, as the blazingly mediocre Crash comes from behind (and not in the good way) to unseat Brokeback Mountain?
  • Will Michelle Williams learn to speak off-script in front of a camera?
  • How many times does Maria Bello have to show her vagina in a serious film to even get a nomination?
  • Same as above, but replace “Maria Bello” with “Scarlett Johansson,” and replace “vagina” with “rack.”
  • What if Keira Knightley had rabies? Could she rip out Reese Witherspoon’s throat with those ravenous-looking eyeteeth?
  • How many naked boys are celebrating at George Clooney’s confirmed-bachelor pad tonight?
  • Will Spike Lee and Jesse Jackson complain that the only Crash star to get nominated was a white guy?
  • Why get Mira Sorvino to announce the nominations, and not someone who’s won less than a decade ago? Does Sorvino sleep with her Oscar? Does she use it as a paperweight for all the scripts she gets sent from Lifetime Television?
  • Who will be Jake’s date?
  • Will Reese thank Joaquin?
  • Will Joaquin black out halfway through the ceremony?
  • If Paul Giamatti and Philip Seymour Hoffman win, will they be the least attractive pair of male acting winners ever? At least since Roberto Benigni and James Coburn?
  • Did you or do you plan to pay to see Mrs. Henderson Presents?
  • Will you still care about any of this in five long weeks, when the ceremony actually airs?
  • Do you care now?

    I dunno, I think Paul Giamatti is kinda cute.

    Blarf. On my shoes, too.

    How could I not care about the gay Super Bowl?

    I’m a sucker for tv actors getting nominated for Academy Awards, and this year features Felicity Huffman and Michelle Williams. The cognitive dissonance from using “Dawson’s Creek” and “Academy Award-Nominated” in the same sentence is staggering.

    Also, Teri Hatcher must be having a stroke right now.
