GROOOOCE.

I'm hoping this was just a typo or something, though it's probably not.

Fuck, is this bitch gonna win the Oscar the first time she gives a halfway decent performance? If I'm Scarlett Johansson (Lost in Translation), Natalie Portman (Cold Mountain), Sarah Polley (The Sweet Hereafter), or Christina Ricci (Buffalo '66), I am spending Oscar night getting very, very, very drunk and throwing shit at the television every time I see that cartoonish face of hers.

I'm inspired by IMDb polls.



^ Because she is awesome, and her dress in this picture is totally awesome

So a few days ago, the poll was actresses without Oscar noms. Today, the poll is actors without Oscar noms. So, I was inspired: the Pulpy nominations of both the ladies and the gentlemen without Oscar nominations.

I am pleased.


Way to go, IMDb voters.

My ranking:
Jennifer Jason Leigh
Maggie Gyllenhaal
Scarlett Johansson (I know, I know. But I can't help it. I just love her. It's good will left over from Lost in Translation.)
Kirsten Dunst
Christina Ricci (I cannot put into words the joy the picture at the top of this page gives me.)
Maria Bello
Sarah Polley
Rachel McAdams
Ziyi Zhang
Parker Posey
Claire Danes
Emily Mortimer
Tilda Swinton (gar)
Thandie Newton (okay, so Emily was better in The Devil Wears Prada, as overrated as that performance is, than anything Thandie's ever been in. BUT AT LEAST THANDIE'S BEEN IN THE MOVIE BUSINESS FOR OVER, LIKE, A YEAR.)
Emily Blunt (HA.)
