Oh yeah the crazy bipolar person always deserves the oscar. Its so hard to flip out! And its such an accurate representation of a serious disorder. And he must be insane too, because who in their right mind would flip out when they catch their wife cheating on them?! Its like what is the big deal!? Man he's got issues, what a performance. Can't wait 'till he plays another douche when they remake the Hangover again.

You mean the one sentence out of all that? Well its because he sucks. and the oscars are a joke, and I'd like to perpetuate that as much as possible. Especially the oscars are a fucking joke part.

Frankly, he gave a great performance, and you trying to use him as a justification for your hyperbolic hate of a superfluous awards show is almost laughable.

No one is making you pay attention to the Oscars or post in this thread. Your tastes don't align with the Academy and that's fine. But no one really wants to hear you screaming from the rooftops about how above the whole thing you are. None of us are stupid for liking certain films, and the Oscars aren't a joke for awarding them.

I can assure you I have not attempted "a piece of thoughtful criticism" in this thread. I doesn't take much thought at this point to realize that Bradley Cooper is a mediocre actor at best and the academy awards is a favoritism-based hollywood circle jerk. You are far more worked up than I am over it.
