WHAT THE FUCKING FUCK

[kungfuwaynewho]

What happened with the Oscar nominations?  I mean seriously, what happened?

• Bigelow and Affleck both get snubbed in Direction.
• I mean the Director lineup just in general.  Fuck David O'Russell.
• Moonrise Kingdom doesn't get a Picture nomination.
• No Looper in Screenplay.
• No John Hawkes in Actor.
• Where the actual fuck did Jacki Weaver come from?  I didn't really think Ann Dowd would get in, but no Ann Dowd and Jacki Weaver instead?
• This isn't a surprise, because everyone knew Alan Arkin would get in, but he would have been the third most interesting supporting performance in Argo, under Bryan Cranston and John Goodman.
• I literally cannot with Editing.
• No Hobbit for Costume?  (But Mirror Mirror and Snow White and the Huntsman make it in.)  Or for Sound Editing?  Or Sound Mixing?  (Lincoln for Mixing?  Really?  Really.)  No nomination for "Song of the Lonely Mountain?"
• And where are The Avengers' Sound nominations?  Oh right, there are none.
• I literally cannot with Documentary Feature, but I knew that when the first short-list was announced.
• Hitchcock for Makeup over Lincoln?  Anthony Hopkins literally looked like he was melting.
• I fundamentally do not understand Life of Pi getting nominated for Production Design.

Bright spots:

• Christoph Waltz.

I have seriously like been seething this whole morning.  These are the worst.  THE WORST.

In conclusion, GPOY:

That sounds nice! It's always gonna be weird to me that you guys are one country but have like, a million different time zones. /European

Psh, you can have Very Strong Opinions about everything even without having seen it. I don't think I've seen any of the Oscar things. I'm not intersted in Django because I don't like Tarantino (ducks flying tomatoes), and Les Mis-type things are not my cup of tea in general, and the rest I haven't even heard of, hah. ... /European ?

BB!DELENN! SO ADORABLEEEEE!

The /European tags are killing me.

My first semester in school - where I was two hours behind - my mom could not remember the time zone difference. So she would call me when she'd been up for an hour or two and thought it was plenty late enough - but it was still like 5:30 or 6:00 am for me. Finally she figured it out, thank goodness, but I could have hopped on a plane and throttled her a couple times.

I try.

Hahahahaha, oh my god. That's hilarious. My mother does that to me, too, except we're in the same timezone... But I'm glad yours figured it out eventually.
