No, but why wish to add to the number of undeserving movies stealing spots from better art?

That's an entirely fair point, but don't forget that Tyldum had Harvey Weinstein's machine behind him. Weinstein has made a career out of engineering some of the biggest Oscar travesties ever—the Shakespeare in Love win over Saving Private Ryan will probably never get close to being topped.

12 Years A Slave was in wide release by late October.

Agreed. See, I take a different view of this snub than most others. They're saying "All these other pedestrian movies got nominated this year so why didn't Selma?" My view is "All these other pedestrian movies got in this year but thank goodness it was only them."

Yeah, where the fuck is Kanye West when you need him?

Any good night for the redheads is a good night for my left hand.

Have you ever tried to wake up Tina Fey when she's passed out drunk? I have, and I've got the stiletto scars on my neck and chest to prove it.

You probably suffer from QHSO, or Quirky Hipster Shit Overload. Ask your doctor if Earnest Melodrama is right for you.

That Hansel is so hot right now.

Man, that comedy/musical category is one festering bag of shit. At least the decent movie won.
