And the Oscar goes too.....

The Oscar is the most coveted award in Hollywood.  Some, like Martin Scorcese, deserved an Oscar for 30 years before getting one.  Others, like Cuba Gooding Jr., have one one fall in their lap for lack of competition before blowing it with movies like Snow Dogs and Boat Trip.  I'm a Cuba fan. who didn't love Jerry Maguire?  But come one.  Click the Snow Dogs link and tell me he shouldn't have known better.

Anyway, I digress.  The Oscar is the most concrete form of validation hollywood offers.  Keep in mind its offering this to the most vapid and insecure people on the planet.  So they're in high demand.  Studios will do anything to try and score a little gold statuette.  They're instant cash cows.  I'd rather walk into a Jenny Craig meeting with a donut than try and defend an Academy Award from these jackals.  Honestly I think Jennifer Aniston would take one over Brad Pitt.  Not that she has a shot at either.

Someone has finally dissected oscar winning films and put together the perfect formula to win an Oscar. This is not an actual movie (though they did an amazing job with it and have fooled quite a few people).
