The Academy Awards are like 3 weeks away.  I like them in the same way that I like the Super Bowl.  I follow them for the whole season and then pay attention to like 6 minutes.  I usually just wait until they are over and look at the list of winners.  I do the same with the nominations, I wait until they are announced and then look at them later in the day.  I knew that there would be 10 best picture nominees, and I knew that I was going to disagree with some, I always do, but the Academy really took a shit this year. 

If you want to follow along with me, I will give you a link to the nominees.  I probably won't talk about all of them because I haven't seen all of them, but unless you are a critic, I have probably seen more than you.  So fuck you. http://oscar.go.com/nominations/nominees

Best Cartoon

I have a kid, so I have seen a few of these.  The Princess And The Frog looked like it was enjoyable enough in between naps.  My kid watched it intently and I read a book while it was on because I am an adult.  

My wife and kid kept saying that Coraline was weird, it looked like it was, but I was doing something on my computer like reading Wikipedia or something while they watched cartoons.

I am going to give the best Oscar To.......The Fantastic Mr. Fox because it is the best cartoon I have seen in years. It wasn't like a kids movie.  It was a Wes Anderson movie and Wes Anderson is awesome.

Actress In A Supporting Role

Those 2 women from Up In The Air are going to have to cancel themselves out.  Up In The Air was good, but not because of the one dimensional female characters.  They were really only there for George Clooney to act charming around.  

That Is why I want to give this award to Maggie Gyllenhall.  The only reason is because, unlike nerds and gay guys, I find her incredibly sexy, and she played white trash to the tee in Crazy Heart. She is really good in that movie.  If some drunk country singer lost my kid, I would have probably react in much the same way she did.  She probably is one of my favorite actresses, she is incredibly talented and I would always just default to her for an award.
