I'm sure a lot of you went to see the amazing Iron Man over the weekend. If you've been living under a concrete slab since Thursday though, you may not have heard about how well this movie has been received as well as how successful it was (100.7 mill - kaching!). But as this article points out, this movie should very much be considered for altleast a few Oscars.

But, of course, this won't happen because Hollywood as a whole is COMPLETELY out of touch, not just with ordinary people, but really all of reality. Let's face it - it was a miracle that Little Miss Sunshine and Juno were nominated for Best Picture. You have to make yourself ugly or play a horrible human being to get recognized for acting. 300 had the best Cinematography in a film last year and it didn't have a snowball's chance of getting nominated because it was a "comic book movie." There are smart people in the entertainment industry (like always) but there are an overwhelming amount of assholes too (like always).

I predicted back in January that Heath Ledger would get a nomination for Best Actor by the Academy and with more footage of his performance being revealed, I firmly stand by that statement. But as the above article states, Robert Downey Jr. HAS to be on a shortlist of favorites already. Also, Visual Effects.
