Weird Al’s UHF came out in 1989. It should have won something, it’s way better than a lot of stuff out there.

@13 – I respectfully disagree.

It’s “The Beast of Yucca Flats”

The simple truth is that Oscar is allergic to success. He will only hop into the lap of someone involved with a second-rate flick.

@10 – With the exception of 1934′s “It Happened One Night”, every time I’ve risked watching a movie solely because it won “Best Picture”, I’ve been grievously disappointed.

Some years ago, I decided to watch all the movies that won Best Picture. Ever. And I did.

I tell you this so you know that no one else will ever have to. It’s been done. Don’t do it. You’ll hate yourself and all humanity if you do. Trust me on this.

I stopped watching the Oscars when they stopped letting celebrities go on stage drunk and coked out of their gourds. I mean…without that, it’s just hours of self congratulatory back patting and no payoff for anyone who is not in that theater.

You know what I did watch? The Daytona 500.

That is a perfect, succinct explanation of what makes a film “the best”.

…everyone else was debating whether the Avengers is better than Dark Knight Rises.

There is debate over this? Seriously? I mean, Avengers was way more awesome than Dark Knight Rises (although they were both quite good). Avengers was excellent even though Scarlett Whats-her-libtard-face was in it as a token “female superhero” and didn’t die a gruesome death before the end.

My Oscar reaction: “Why don’t they pat themselves on the back, already?!”

I stopped caring about the Oscars when Shakespeare in Love beat Saving Private Ryan.

And here all this time I’ve been under the impression that Sean Penn is…a full retard.

“Everybody knows you never go full retard…Check it out. Dustin Hoffman, ‘Rain Man,’ look retarded, act retarded, not retarded. Counted toothpicks, cheated cards. Autistic, sho’. Not retarded. You know Tom Hanks, ‘Forrest Gump.’ Slow, yes. Retarded, maybe. Braces on his legs. But he charmed the pants off Nixon and won a ping-pong competition. That ain’t retarded. Peter Sellers, “Being There.” Infantile, yes. Retarded, no. You went full retard, man. Never go full retard. You don’t buy that? Ask Sean Penn, 2001, “I Am Sam.” Remember? Went full retard, went home empty handed… ”
