No one was surprised by the nominations for this years Oscars. I’d also say that people weren’t surprised by the snubs either. When I logged on Facebook yesterday, the majority of the posts were basically, “F*ck you Oscars for staying inside the box, you f*cking f*cks”.
After being snubbed by the Academy for his performance in YOUNG ADULT, Patton Oswalt responded in the best and most humorous way possible. He wasn’t just ranting for himself, he was ranting for everyone who got left out. Oswalt took to Twitter and addressed the situation with this series of awesome tweets to Albert Brooks.
It began with, “Join me for a drink at The Drawing Room, @AlbertBrooks? Me and Serkis have been here since 6am,” and continued on:
See you later tonight. Might be out of booze — Serkis has Pogues on the jukebox & Fassbender just showed up in a pirate hat.
Oh shit — we’re DEFINITELY going to run out of booze. Charlize & Tilda just pulled up in a stolen police car.
Dude, GET DOWN HERE. Gosling is doing keg stands and Olsen & Dunst LITERALLY just emerged from a shower of rose petals.
Nolte & Plummer just drove past, mooning us. Serkis & Tilda are signing “Is There Life on Mars?”
Oops — Von Trier just pulled up in a pass van dressed as Goering. “Let’s go to Legoland!” With a boozy hurrah, we’re out!
Oh. My. God. Just pulled up to Legoland. DiCaprio’s rented the park for the day. Dibs on the Duplo Gardens! #andscene
