It's OK sir I'm from the internet. This is a textbook case of butthurt. Take three tequila shots, get the hell over yourself and call me in the morning

"Conservative" media before release of Zero Dark Thirty: "We must boycott this love letter to Fartbama to send a mesage to the Hollyweird Homocrats!"

"Conservative" media after release of Zero Dark Thirty: "Why do Hollyweird Homocrats refuse to properly acknowledge the greatness of this film?!?"

gilgigamesh: kronicfeld: gilgigamesh: I'm just pissed they snubbed Django Unchained.

It's nominated for best picture and Christolph Waltz is nominated for best supporting actor. How is that a snub?

Its a snub because I'm an idiot.

You're right; I heard Tarantino didn't get a best director nod and must have misunderstood.

Tarantino SHOULD have received a best director nod, though. Every time he makes a movie I come out of the theater swearing he has the American zeitgeist locked in his basement, where he beats it until it tells him exactly what we all want, deep in our black little hearts, to really see.

Oh, and I saw Argo too. Bored me to tears. Important rule in filmaking: if you're setting is in Canada, or you're depicting Canadians, it's gonna be boring.

I thought Ben Affleck was a socialist. Why should anyone reward him with anything?

Moonrise Kingdom is the one that should have more nominations.

The movies have twelve nominations between them. But, right, I'm sure being left out of ONE category is irrefutable proof that Hollywood is anti-American. In no way does this argument make you look like a raving, ~~right-wing~~ lunatic.
