Own the (other) Podium!

After getting our asses handed to us on a plate by the U.S. Men's Hockey Team last night, the only natural response is to sweep the upcoming Oscars and beat them like rented mules at their national sport; making shitty movies. If Avatar, Up in the Air, District 9 and octogenarian Christopher Plummer (tentative as the Canadian content of these nominations might be) can take their respective categories, I think that might teach those American clowns a thing or two about this country's moxy. Go Avatar!

Oh ya, and we still fucking OWN speed skating, the slopes, ice hockey, curling. Own it! Canuckistan rules!

Pontypool's obvious snub at last year's Oscars will not be easily forgotten, my war-mongering southern friends.

Interestingly,

The Hurt Locker just cleared up at the BAFTA awards taking, Best Film, Best Original Screenplay, Best Cinematography, Best Editing & Best Sound with Avatar quite rightfully taking Best Production Design and Best Achievement in Special Visual Effects. Even Moon finally gained some recognition with a nomination for Outstanding British Film of the Year. Of course, Christoph Waltz took best supporting actor.

I would try and make some disparaging remarks about Canada here but then you are probably thinking "wtf are the BAFTAs anyway?"

Apparently if your internet is being slow it's a bad idea to just keep clicking the 'publish' button.

isn't BAFTA one of the dishes we ordered last night? BAFTA PANEER? SAAG BAFTA? VEGEDABULL BAFTAS?
