My Oscar Nominations

Because the real ones are too biased against comedy and creativity, here’s my very own nominations. I’ve also added a few categories. Cast your votes!

Best Picture

  • Inglourious Basterds
  • Up

Best Foreign Language Film

There are no foreign language films. There are only films made in the native languages of screenwriters, directors, and actors. As with gender, the Oscars are surprisingly backward on this. They either need to get with the multicultural or just become American movie awards.
