Max von Sydow’s Handwritten Reaction to His Oscar Nomination for EXTREMELY LOUD AND INCREDIBLY CLOSE.

it could have been for a better film (in fact, it really couldn’t have been for a worse film), but this is still all sorts of cute and gracious. and we all know that it’s totally just a make-up nod for ignoring his performance in The Virgin Spring (duh).

Max Von Sydow’s handwritten reaction to his Oscar nomination for Best Actor In A Supporting Role for Extremely Loud And Incredibly Close:

My sincere thanks to my colleagues at the Academy. It is wonderful. I don’t know what to say – I am dumbfounded.

Max von Sydow

Oh, oh, Max von Sydow too. Max von Sydow, Bret McKenzie, and Pina: all I want out of the Oscars.

Theatrical Sneak Peek

Honestly, this may be too late to post, but Cartoon Network is sneak peeking an Adventure Time episode in an actual movie theater this week in order to qualify it for an Academy Award. For real. Basically, there’s an upcoming episode storyboarded by the incomparable Tom Herpich, “Thank You,” which the Powers That Be deemed Oscar-worthy. And while most of you are all, “ALL ADVENTURE TIME EPISODES ARE OSCAR-WORTHY, MEATHEAD,” this one is decidedly different. So if you’re in the Burbank area Wednesday and/or Thursday and want to a glimpse of a future episode on the big screen, the showtimes at the AMC 16 Burbank those days are 11:20 a.m. and 2:15 p.m. The bad news is you will be required to pay full admission price; the good news is that cost does include admission to Dolphin Tale starring Harry Connick, Jr. And for you sad sacks who can’t make it, Cartoon Network will air “Thank You” in a slightly altered, longer form later this year.

Bold my own—I think this is just more bad news. But I love the idea that one of the times I have shouted at my computer or TV “Oscar!” toward a television show might actually result in an Oscar for once.

Kirk Douglas and somebody I actually know, have dined with, and been interviewed by winning, this was simply the worst piece of television I’ve seen in a very long time.  And I used to watch Family Matters.

Forgotten third favorite part. But really, that was it! It was an awful show.

“I should’ve gotten a haircut.”

LUKE MATHENY, winner of the Oscar for Best Live Action Short, who also thanked his mother, who “did craft services for the film.”

I am so smitten.

If the whole “being a film maker” thing doesn’t pan out for him, he could form a super awkward friendship duo with Jesse Eisenberg.

Or a super awkward friendship duo with my clitoris.

This was my second favorite part of the Oscars. It was also my last favorite part. There were no more favorite parts.

What a lackluster award show. I waited a whole year for this?

GRRRRRREAT.

My favorite part of the Oscars were the commercials. Namely, this one. And maybe the one for Diet Coke.

How. Sad. Is. That.
