Jeffrey Overstreet's Onto a Good Idea Here ...

[...]
  • How The Reader could be chosen over WALL-E (oh, right, it’s about The Holocaust!)…

  • How Ron Howard could get a Best Director nomination over Andrew Stanton or Christopher Nolan…

  • How The Fall could be ignored for cinematography… [...]

  • How The Curious Case of Benjamin Button — a rewrite of Forrest Gump that manages to run almost three hours in spite of having a central character who is completely uninteresting (outside of his disease symptoms, anyway) — got a Best Picture nomination…
I have seen just enough of the Oscar nominated movies as well as those Jeffrey mentions (or have heard Rose's pronouncements, which clearly I trust more than the Oscar committee) to know that he speaks the truth.

He proposes very specific plans for an Oscar Boycott Party. Check it out.
