I don't even remember that Beck album. Even modern guilt has more memorable moments.
Whatever... The Oscars snubbed the Dark Knight and failed to give it a Best a picture nomination even though it was the #6 or #7 most voted for film of 2008. Then the Academy felt the backlash from that, and basically changed the way the category works, expanding the award to 10 possible nominees, *all because of Dark Knight* ... Then out comes Dark Knight Rises, and no it doesn't have a Heath level performance in it, but it was as good a hyper real action film as Mad Max: Fury Road (better, actually, by a wide margin), and even though the critics all said the Oscars would be morons not to nominate it, it got the snub again.
Mad Max is believed to have a good chance of *winning* the award this year, if There's an upset over Revenant.
This shit isn't fair, and none of this garbage actually represents quality. We know better than to think it does. But the most of the world doesn't have a clue.
So yeah fuck the Grammys and the Oscars and everything else. Double fuck the VMA's because they're so goddamn stupid.
