Oscar Nominee Venn Diagram: Weirdly Specific Similarities
As we've demonstrated before, there are certain tricks that can put you in the good graces of the Academy. While we've looked at some startlingly similar roles that seem to always get nominated, this year the Academy seemed to go for movies about a few bizarrely specific topics...

I recognize almost all the movies and their characters except the 2 women at the top, what are they from? the one in the blue winter cap and the one in the Victorian outfit behind Jeff Bridges "Rooster" character.
Replythe woman behind jeff bridges is from True Grit....it's little girl all grown up after she lost her arm...
I recognize Inception, Toy Story 3, and Black Swan. Not sure about the rest of the diagram though. o.o
Replywait who lost a limb in black swan? the last time i saw a venn diagram was in 4th grade...
ReplyDoesn't she dream at some point she's turning into a swan, her arms becoming wings and shit?
What exactly is pretentious about The King's Speech?
ReplyUsing big words even though you don't know what they mean in order to look clever is, well, kind of pretentious you know.
I all it B-B-B-ritish Br-r-r-omance.
I liked the King's Speech a lot, but Black Swan blew me away. But still, at the end of the night all that really mattered was that the Social Network didn't win.
ReplyThank you for saying Pretentious English Bulls**t. I live in England and even I couldn't stand how much Oscar bait was put in that movie. Colin Firth is talented, though.
ReplyYeah we tend not to like the kind of stuff made primarily to get people in the US who for some reason like royalty to watch. Still dont get why royalty is so popular there you even successfully rid yourselves of it.
There were lesbians in Inception? I thought I would remember something like that.

Venn diagram FAIL.
Venn Diagram interpretation FAIL.
I adore pretentious English bulls**t. And Colin Firth.
ReplyWow... A Venn diagram that crosses "Lesbians" with "Dreams" and comes up with nothing until you throw "Losing Limbs" into the mix!
ReplyGo figure :P...
wait who loses a limb in black swan
ReplyI don't remember that part either.
Winona Ryder's character, sort of. I don't think her leg's amputated, but it's f**ked.
This is a satire site right? People complaining about that "pretentious english bull" should just chill out considering how many awards it won
ReplyWhat about 'The Fighter'?
ReplyMassachusetts People dream big
Thank god someone said it. That movie is going to be the most overvalued piece of "meh" of this decade.
Reply'Pretentious English Bulls**t' ... just because the world hates you America doesn't mean you have to sulk.

It's ok, America hates you too, Vincey poo.
Don't lump us all together. I'm and American and I think The King's speech was an inspiring and faithful telling of an extremely beautiful friendship that blossomed out of adversity. Maybe we have a monopoly on stupid, but it doesn't mean that all of us suffer from it.
And of course the odd one out get the award for Best Picture. Weirdly prophetic, Cracked!
ReplyAnd then The King's Speech gets almost every award it was nominated for. Sad world.
Reply4/12 =/= almost every award
How is that sad? Could you do anything better? Do realize that it's something that happened just outside of your lifetime? Don't you think a story that affected the world to the degree that this did deserves to be told, and praised?
Maybe I didn't watch the movie right, but who lost a limb in Black Swan?
Reply Hide All See All 3 RepliesI had the same thought. All I can come up with is the mother losing fingers ... ?
Maybe when her legs break to look like a swan? Does that count?
No. Broken limbs and missing limbs are not in any way similar.
YEAH!!! An article that isn't following the hype over "The Kings Speech".
Reply Hide All See All 6 RepliesHaving seen most (I need to see TKAA) of the films up for best picture, there are far better movies "The Kings Speech". And this is coming from someone who is British.
And why is there any need to turn this into a nationality argument? My favourite films of all time are mostly American, but I do think create good comedies like "Shuan of the Dead" and "Notting Hill". And this isn't an attack on British movies, "127 Hours" is done by a British director and that hasn't been attacked in this article. Every country can create good cinema (although the vatican do have some crazy s**t).
I thought King's Speech was good. SO f**k YOU YA LIMEY BASTARD!
The fact that you just lumped Shaun of the Dead in with Notting Hill proves you know nothing about cinema.
or that his taste in comedy is different from yours.
don't be so damn judgemental.
no... cornflakes... gormster was right. Notting Hill was a s**tty forgettable romcom. Shaun of the Dead, however, was an epic thrillride of a romZOMcom
I'm English and I'm with you 100% on the King's Speech being overrated. I'm so sick of the unquestioned consensus that it's a masterpiece! Although to be fair it isn't s**t either. Which Notting Hill really is. Sorry. But Shaun of the Dead is great.
Obviously we can tell that you're not British. No person from GB would call themselves British - you're English or you're Scottish (etc.); we never group ourselves together...
HAHAHA
ReplyWhere in the hell are the jokes supposed to be? Oh, I see, it R teh funnï becuz teh English made a movie.
Reply Hide All See All 3 RepliesAnd how in the hell can any of "Massachusettes people dream big" possibly be outside of "dreams"?
Really? An umlaut? Congratulations.
Because the not only dreamed them but actully acclomplished them
Wow. Message fail, read again, watch some of the movies and maybe then you'd understand the Massachusetts reference. As well as the English part. Oh, and I forgot, f**k you.
