https://twitter.com/PattyArquette/status/555778232096542721 Patricia Arquette woke up to the good news that she was nominated for an Oscar for Boyhood, but the rest of her day has been crap and it isn’t even noon here in Los Angeles.
She explained on Twitter that her babysitter overslept, her car was towed and she was late to work because of it. If that doesn’t give you a headache, then the fact that your daughter gets one a block from school will.
Proving the point, just because you get a much deserved Oscar nomination, doesn’t mean your day will be golden like the statuette.
Hopefully Oscar night will go much better for her.

The Oscar nominations are read at 5:30a Pacific time, so that means that the people announcing them probably got no sleep. Because of that, there are bound to be mistakes, besides the obvious snubs.
This year’s biggest “Oh crap” moment came when Academy President Cheryl Boone Isaacs read Cinematographer Dick Pope’s name as Dick Poop. Which you have to wonder what that says about her??? What?
BTW you can tell it was way too early for all involved because neither Chris Pine, Isaacs nor the press laughed at her mess up. Even though they didn’t, everyone else did! Well everyone but them and Dick Pope, whose movie Mr Turner is finally getting some press since no one heard of it before today.
The Oscar nominations were announced today and like usual they suck. There were a lot of snubs, but the biggest one was for The Lego Movie not getting one for Best Animated Movie. Philip Lord, the Writer/Director of the movie, took the snub well. He posted the above photo and said, “It’s okay. Made my own!” Then Tweeted, “This is not a tragedy. Congrats to incredible crew and cast of The Lego Movie, who made a classic.”
They certainly did. It truly is a shame this gem of a movie was not recognized by the Academy. On a positive note, at least Everything is Awesome was nominated. That song really is awesome.
We know that Outer Space has zero gravity, but does it have a smell? Yesterday on the International Space Station, Samantha Cristoforetti got to find and she wishes she didn’t. You can tell by her face that it is utterly gross. Well that and she said “Not good!”. Now we know why they wear those Space Suits, it’s to protect them from the stench.
BTW why did the only female on the ISS get the honor? It’s like she has four older brothers, and they force their baby sister to do all the gross things. But then again, she’s the only one of them that could brag she knows what it smells like when she is finally back on Earth!
