The Oscar Nominations Really Brought The Surprises This Year!!!!!!!
And I mean the direct opposite of that.
The Oscar nominations were farted up this morning and they were as predictable as a drunken me ending my Friday night searching for ginger daddy porn on PornHub while eating spoonfuls of sugar because I ran out of candy. The only real surprise was that the Oscar messes didn’t find a way to nominate Meryl Streep for something. I expected to hear the words, “And for Best Actress, the nominees are Meryl Streep for um, err, being Meryl Streep.” I guess Meryl Streep has this year off and is letting the lessers have their little fun.
Johnny Depp’s housekeeper will be spending their afternoon scrubbing eyeliner tears out of his scarves, because he wasn’t nominated. Ridley Scott, Jane Fonda, Helen Mirren, Idris Elba, Will Smith, Steven Spielberg, the little boy from Room and Aaron Sorkin were also shut out of that shit. The Revenant got the most nominations with 12 and Mad Max: Fury Road got 10 nominations (but none for Charlize!). And Jennifer Lawrence better book that rehearsal space, because she’s going to need to practice her red carpet falling moves again since she was also nominated.
And on Golden Globes night, I joked that Lady CaCa will probably win an Oscar before Leonardo DiCatchAHo does. That could really happen, because she got a nomination for the song she wrote with Diane Warren for The Hunting Ground. I pray we’ll get an encore performance of this:
All the nominations are after the cut. It’s #OscarsSoWhite: The Sequel!
