No it's just retarded old people are the ones who vote for that crap. People like Gary Oldman will never win since he never does those old people movies but is a better actor than most of those people that ever get nominated

But his name is OLDMAN! What do you mean old people don't like him?

Gary Oldman is great in everything I've seen, but he's not really a typical leading man so he won't get an oscar. He will have to play a disabled guy or do a holocaust movie to get awards.

It's hilarious how important the actors think they are. And the brand name dresses that no one could possibly care about. "Who are you wearing?" "I'm wearing Wal-Mart, bitches!"

Why aren't there any awards shows like this for doctors, relief workers or scientific discovery? Now I would watch that!

I think I'm the only person who didn't think Social Network was all that amazing. I enjoyed it, but it wasn't best picture material in my eyes.

no you aren't, the movie was enjoyable but no where near BP worthy, I think it only got nominated as a bad attempt to get young people to watch

They do have awards ceremonies for most industries. I think my employer wins "best specialist packaging manufacturer" every year. The only difference is they don't show the awards on TV because there's no famous people involved.

He was a corrupt DEA agent in Leon, aka the Professional. Also known for Natalie Portman's breakthrough role.
