(If Jonah Hill wins this thing, everyone else nominated needs to retire immediately. No, seriously.)
The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences announced the nominees for this year’s Academy Awards and it looks like the early Oscar buzz Nick Nolte was getting had its merit. Nolte was nominated for Best Supporting Actor for his performance in “Warrior.” In the film, the 70-year-old multiple-time Oscar and Golden Globe nominee played Paddy Conlon, a former alcoholic, boxer, and estranged father of the movie’s two brother protagonists.

Also nominated for the trophy were 2012 Golden Globe Best Supporting Actor winner Christopher Plummer for “Beginners,” Jonah Hill for “Moneyball,” Kenneth Branagh for “My Week With Marilyn” and Max von Sydow for “Extremely Loud & Incredibly Close.”
Although it’s unclear who the frontrunner of the category is, the fact that an MMA movie even got a nomination is big news as it basically signals that the sport is no longer a fringe one. Hopefully Nolte wins just so we can hear his acceptance speech.

Warrior is completely fucking by the numbers formulaic. Anyone who likes it hasn't seen the 3,000 other movies that have the same plot/characters/pacing etc.

OK my bad.
.
You need to quick fucking with my sister, and get these bastards at CP to send you the forgotten passcode.

@WarpedAcorn Says: - alright then, but I didn't want to offend anyone - so I have been being nice. I can take the Sugar back from Rashad, if y'all (great fucking hick word) don't mind.

@bootystar Says: - I like a straight shooter - so I agree with you. I give you the Asian's with nearly 100% ownership for all martial arts flicks - as long as that list does not include that goofy fucking Jackie Chan.
.
Also, Kareem Abdul Jabar always gets the same free pass on the set, same as Shaft. Do you agree or disagree?
But, Nolte was absolutely stellar. I gained a lot of respect fo him.
I googled that kid and you are right. I bet her parents gotta tie steaks around her neck just so the dog will play with her. Her face looks like Pink Fights participants' genitals. Other than picking on the personal appearance of a child, is there anything wrong with making this CP fodder?
.
Ohhhh, how sweet. Maybe the Diaz brothers or all you fucks from broken families will get some tears. Cut it out.
.
Come on, what a lame plot for a martial arts movie. You want to watch a real movie. Haven't see a good one in some time that wasn't a re-run. Do yourselves a favor men, don't let your dumb ass chick drag you to see "Warhorse." Talk about weak sauce.
@ what RwilsonR Say: MAKES

PUKE...no wonder your fags give so many props to the Hollywoodized version of the UFC, and always defending the promotion at every turn...your true love is acting, lighting, getting facial, collagen lip injections, and the list of "WHOS Who," for the Emmy Awards nominees...
.
Who here still watches those fucked up awards shows, raise your hand high to acknowledge you deserve a bitch slap.

However, I will say I thought Moneyball was a contrived pile of shit. Brad Pitt was great in it but the movie seemed like a big budget lifetime movie. And how the fuck does Brad Pitt's character have a daughter that's uglier than a bowling shoe? Her parents are Brad Pitt and Robin Wright and I'm supposed to believe their daughter looks like Randal Tex Cobb's son? Horseshit.
