I guess they give those things out to anyone…

A little behind the times as usual, the Wife and I finally got around to seeing the Academy Award winning film Juno.
Academy Award winner?
Really?
I guess it MIGHT be a hit with pretentious kids who think they are that smart, verbose and witty. The same kids who think The Hills is good TV and Good Charlotte is a punk band. The kids who liked Transformers and think Shia LeBeouf is cool.
But an Oscar winner for Best Original Screenplay?
Ok, to be fair a lot of shitty movies have taken home the Best Original Screenplay Oscar.
Lost in Translation. Thelma and Louise. Even Ghost, for fuck’s sake.
And I’ll argue that The Usual Suspects has, in time become an overrated waste of time.
But look at some of the GOOD movies that won.
Chinatown. On The Waterfront. The Sting. Citizen Kane. Sunset Boulevard. Fargo.

Juno is a fucking John Hughes movie at best. (not that I have a problem with John Hughes, really)
