Maybe we can get a hologram of Bob Hope to do it. That’s totally a thing that science can do, right? I could swear I saw it on CNN.

“I just feel like that gig is so hard. Especially for, like, a woman—the amount of months that would be spent trying on dresses alone … no way.” — Tina Fey, asked whether her Golden Globes hosting gig and an endorsement by William Shatner might lead to her and Amy Poehler hosting the Oscars next year.
Told that the interviewer “was hoping for at least ‘a one in a million chance,’” Fey responded “I wish I could tell you there was.”
Welp. There you go. It was a nice dream while it lasted.

Surfing the web today you might have noticed HBO took out huge, site-spanning advertisements for Season 3 of Game of Thrones which featured the shadow of a dragon passing over the page. Well here’s the still version of that from today’s NY Times. (I’m gonna say it’s revenge for this.)We sell ad space here on The Mary Sue but this is one I would have paid to have on the site.

Ok, we know today has been Academy Award-heavy but these are too good not to share. In all life situations from now on I will ask myself, “WWJLD?” Because Jennifer Lawrence reacts like a real person. For instance, while being interviewed post-Oscar win, Jack Nicholson decided to interrupt. Can you imagine what you’d do if Jack Nicholson surprised you? It would probably be something like this.
And what if you were asked really bizarre, obvious questions after winning an Academy Award? That would probably go like this…

Academy Awards: Best Picture Oscar Winners from Nelson Carvajal on Vimeo.
To get you into the awards show spirit, here’s alcohol a montage of every single film to walk away with Best Picture, edited by Nelson Carvajal. (Though actually the first Oscars in 1929 had two Best Picture winners, one a general award and one for “Unique and Artistic Production,” which really says a lot about the current identity of the Oscars if you think about it… ah, sorry, my film nerdery ran away with me there). Just think—as of tomorrow there won’t be any speculation as to who the next Best Picture winner will be for a good two, three months.

The Oscar Nominations are out and the Golden Globes have come and gone. And while I should be delighted that Jennifer Lawrence took home the Globe for her stellar performance in Silver Linings Playbook, I can’t help but feel a sense of bitterness every time awards season gets underway. Why? Because geek movies are so consistently snubbed, it’s almost as if they’re cursed.
Ok, so they’re probably not cursed. After all, that would be ridiculous. (Just ask Leonardo DiCaprio.) History shows us that the Academy has little to no appreciation for geek-centric films. Here’s a list of notable Academy Award snubs for context:

"SHARKS. Just when you thought it was safe to go back in the uterus." - A thing I just said in chat, sans context.
Susana Polo
In a perfect world, that would make those men MORE sympathetic to women when they talk about objectification of women in media.
Susana Polo
But really the take away from this is that two seconds of quickly covered up Chris Hemsworth stomach makes some men feel objectified.
Susana Polo
Good to know that a broad trend across much of visual media has effected one man, in one shot. We can all go home, sexism is over.
Susana Polo
Whenever we bring up objectification of women in modern action movies, people always bring up the one shot of Chris Hemsworth shirtless.
