If we're really going to talk "snubs" though, the one that bugs me the most is the utter lack of love for Jenny Slate in Obvious Child, not just from the Oscars, which was expected, but from virtually every awards show and critics circle. Even the few critics circles that mentioned her, it was as a "breakthrough…

Go watch Graham Moore in an interview and you'll see why The Imitation Game is the frontrunner. Young, excited guy, with his first feature, on a topic that's clearly very important to him, it's just a great story. I haven't even seen the film, but knowing his story, plus the fact that he's got Harvey Weinstein…

Was Selma really not locked by December 1st? I know they completely screwed up in getting the screeners out, but I hadn't heard that they were still in post that late into season.

"Birdman won’t win Best Picture, not a chance."

That moment was pretty incredible to me. For years, Dana Carvey and Mike Myers were not on good terms because, as the story goes, Dana Carvey had that Lorne Michaels impression, which Mike Myers used as the basis for Dr. Evil, and Dana was upset that not only did Myers not ask him to play Dr. Evil, he didn't even run…

"Are you fucking kidding me right now?" - Barkhad Abdi upon overhearing this news being discussed by customers at his barista job.

Except that the overwhelming majority of feminists believe that patriarchy oppresses men and women, and creates unrealistic expectations of masculinities for men just as it creates unrealistic expectations of femininities for women, although feminists do also believe that the oppression women experience tends to…

God dammit I really hate when non-AVClubbers litter the comments section on stories like this.

This same story said that they won't cast Spider-man until they hire a director. Well, CA3: Civil War starts shooting in April, so they better get a move on.

Well The Jerk Store called….

Maybe he's sick of having to constantly be associated with and play nice with guys like Bill O'Reilly.

They're definitely onto something with the Keep It 100 segment, in terms of carving out a unique identity for Wilmore. They just need to build on that.
It's just a tough transition, like you said. Colbert consistently made me laugh harder than anyone else on TV. Real, genuine laughs (from the gut!) Going from that to…

Marc Maron. That would certainly be interesting.

Or, you know what they REALLY should do? Just end The Daily Show and bring back Tough Crowd with Colin Quinn.

I just feel like, as much as I dislike Bill "I'm not an anti-vaxxer but here's a bunch of reasons why vaccines are bad" Maher, he's already doing the political comedy panel thing, on a channel where he can be uncensored, with no commercial breaks, for an hour. Wilmore's might be able to book some different kinds of…

Well they do still have arguably the funniest show on TV right now with Nathan for You, but nobody really watches it and knowing Comedy Central they'll be cancelling it any day now.

I wouldn't be opposed to that. It would certainly be funnier than what Larry Wilmore's doing right now (and I like Wilmore, I just think that show is severely lacking in JOKES).

In all seriousness, John Hodgman? He'd have to drop the Deranged Millionaire persona of course.

Did you know that there's a direct correlation between the decline in Spirograph and the rise in gang activity? Think about it!

Who Is Glenn Beck? Is he a Nazi? Is he a terrorist? Does Glenn Beck think Bill Cosby's "not that bad of a guy"? Is Glenn Beck just a mentally challenged, fat, infinitely less talented Ed Helms? I don't know. I'm just asking questions.
