The Bob Duval of his generation. Brilliant actor.

j4x: Yeah. Nominated. Not won.

nod=nomination

Subfailer, the point is that he never won. The ironing is delicious.

The All-Powerful Atheismo: j4x: Yeah. Nominated. Not won.

nod=nomination

It's kind of an ambiguous word.

Kid Mojo: Subfailer, the point is that he never won. The ironing is delicious.

nod=nomination, genius


/not subby

Burn_Atlanta: The All-Powerful Atheismo: j4x: Yeah. Nominated. Not won.

nod=nomination

It's kind of an ambiguous word.

In the parlance of our times, it means a nomination

/just coming from the TBL thread

Except that it doesn't, and that's based off of nothing.

Kid Mojo: Except that it doesn't, and that's based off of nothing.

Except that it does. I cite google as my source. It repeatedly talks about people getting oscar "nods" in place of nominations, not oscar wins.

Main Entry: nod
Function: noun
Date: circa 1541

1 : the act or an instance of nodding

Yeah, ambiguous.

peachpicker: Main Entry: nod

2 : an indication especially of approval or recognition

Yeah, ambiguous.

yeah if you know nothing about the movie business, go ahead and think it's ambiguous. That's your right, to be ignorant.

Also, RockIsDead, you make me feel dirty now that you've agreed with me.

Maybe he will get an Oscar for this?

Angelina Jolie is thrilled with her Best Actress Oscar nomination, calling the nod "a privilege beyond any expectation."

Michael Caine Predicts Heath Ledger Will Get an Oscar Nod
"I think Heath will surely get a posthumous nomination for an Academy Award," Michael Caine said Friday at Grauman's Chinese Theatre, where the legendary actor was honored in a hand and footprint ceremony.

Oilsands documentary 'Downstream' gets Oscar nod.
An Academy Award nomination is the perfect opportunity to reach a wider audience and to tell the story of a dedicated physician and his concerns for the health of Fort Chipewyan First Nations people.

'Benjamin Button' hooks 13 Oscar nominations
The nominations for the 81st annual Academy Awards were announced Thursday morning, and to nobody's surprise, "The Curious Case of Benjamin Button" did well, nabbing 13 nods to lead all films.

I could go on or you could all agree that Fox News is staffed by morons.

Sure, just show us something beyond your own hostile insistence that indicates that "nomination" is the only acceptable definition, not just the most common.

People generally don't talk about oscar wins. They'll just say oscars. Oscar nods always meant nominations to me.

Where's the farking Oscar, shiathead.

Read my previous post. The only news story... anywhere... ever... that I have ever seen that calls a win a "nod"... is this Faux News article.

I didn't just pick those quotes selectively. They are like the very first 5 results for a google search for "what is an oscar nod". So yeah. I'm right, Fox News is wrong. Imagine that. Fox News doing something dumb.

TheNyquilKid: Where's the farking Oscar, shiathead.

I think it's down there somewhere, let me take another look

It is ignorance. That isn't hostile. Ignorance means unaware, uninformed. So it's ignorance.

i agree that peachpicker is willfully ignorant. Sorry if i didnt make that clear enough.

ecl: i agree that peachpicker is willfully ignorant. Sorry if i didnt make that clear enough.

I just take exception to chicken farking when it isn't performed by a midget in Tijuana

Once more, just show something that indicates that "nomination" is the only acceptable definition, not just the most common. The first 5 results for a google search is insufficient.

The Dude will abide.

Try every result... everywhere... EVER... except for this Faux News article. So either they are factually wrong, or they are trying to shoehorn their own usage of the term. Either way, they are dumb and wrong.

NuclearPenguins: RIP Nod



RIP Zod

Peach, just accepting you were wrong and moving on with your life would be too difficult?

The All-Powerful Atheismo: Try every result... everywhere... EVER...

*dubious*

ecl: Peach, just accepting you were wrong

I'm not the one trying to prove a negative.

peachpicker: The All-Powerful Atheismo: Try every result... everywhere... EVER...

That's true, Before the year 1929 it is very unlikely that Oscar nominations were called "nods"

Nah, in this context nod = nomination.

He's on my short list of celebs I wanna smoke out with.


I'm sure this news thrills him to no end.

nod is an acronym for: Nomination Only Dumba$$

Jakevol2: The Men Who Stared at Goats really wasn't that good.

Well, that's just like, your opinion, man...

/actually, it's mine too

I think that, in general, the quality of green-lit submissions are slipping on Fark. No doubt that the especially witty ones are being hit out of the ballpark, but quantity and good timing does not always equal quality. Will the Mods continue down this complacent path or will they step up their game in 2010? I wish you could read that in Don LaFontain-ish. RIP you raspy-voiced bastard.

Edit: I meant to say the quality IS slipping.

peachpicker: ecl: Peach, just accepting you were wrong

You've just shot yourself in the foot with this statement. You are basically saying "because you can't prove what you are saying, it must be false." Also known as an Argument from Personal Incredulity Fallacy (new window).

The opinion of this thread is overwhelmingly in favor of the submitter. I believe the burden of proof falls on you to find additional counterexamples.

/Nod means nomination

FTA:"During the "Crazy Heart" premiere at the Samuel Goldwyn Theatre, Fox Searchlight's president Nancy Utley informed that she and colleague Steve Gilula loved and picked up Scott Cooper's film when it was shown at a film festival"

Wow, a Fox News article suggesting a Fox Searchlight film should receive an Oscar? It's not news, it's an advertisement.

Oh, and put me down in the "a nod is a nomination" column.

Man, I wonder who submitted this story?

He was in that movie about Big Lebowski and he was in another movie with Tron in it!

OK, as an intense awards-watcher for at least 20 years, a newspaper employee who used to edit the entertainment page of the front section, and someone whose job it is to be familiar with all forms of style and nomenclature, I can assure you that "Oscar nod" means "Oscar nomination," and nothing else.

I nominate this thread for the "Dumbest farking thread I've read in awhile" award.

Epiphany: I nominate this thread for the "Dumbest farking thread I've read in awhile" award.

This.

I would like to give The All-Powerful Atheismo and NuclearPenguins thanks for using the "RIP" bit to save this otherwise failed thread.

Yeah, I hate it when someone who actually knows what they're talking about leaves a comment in a FARK thread. It's so annoying.
