Everyone’s buzzing about Inception director Christopher Nolan’s being snubbed by the Academy, but I think the real travesty here is that MacGruber and The Bounty Hunter weren’t nominated for anything. Really, did nobody see Furry Vengeance or Piranha 3D? If there isn’t a talking animal or hot chick in a bikini, it shouldn’t even be in the running. Next thing you know, they’ll start wanting you to read books without pictures in them.
