certainly Schumi got a gong?
 
The Film "End of Rabo" got nominated for every category but lost in all of them.
Leinders was beaten by Wiggins for best Actor while despite playing a far more courageous role The Chicken was defeated by Hincapie for best supporting actor. Clear American Bias by the members.
 
I found it funny.

On a related question.

I have the Armstrong interviews clogging up my PVR. I've been meaning to watch them, but the question is if it's worth my time or the space on my PVR?

I'm thinking, it's only a half confession(it was all me, sorry, they all did it too!, bla bla bla, the usual stuff).

Is there anything new thats worth sitting trough the irritation of someone not quite telling the truth?

Interesting that you chose Wiggins over Lance for Best Actor.

Lance's acting sucked. At least Wiggo has some of the people fooled. Neither one of them, to my knowledge, has called anyone "fat".

Why? Because I say something that is crap is crap. What is so funny about it? It's just a list of Oscar categories matched up with familar Clinic targets? And half of it doesn't even make sense.

Where's the invention or wit? It's just rubbish.

Well that's way above The Clinic batting average. But if you're looking for a serious discussion about drugs and sport, you'll want the ice fishing thread.

Andy Schleck was nominated in several catergories but came 2nd in all

we get it. you dont like that anti doping supremo bradley wiggins got mentioned.


For the record i dont think he should be on there either. His acting has been terrible and more deserving of a razzie. Hed definately get beaten for that by kerrison though, for his performance in "an interview with CN". Especially forgetting his lines on screen at 6 minutes and staring blankly into the camera going -uhhhhh.

That was the old Andy. The new Andy was nominated but abandoned the award show ;)

No. It was just crap.

For example: Best Visual Effects: The Reasoned Decision

What does that even mean? Go on - explain the hilarious joke.

Or are you just all clapping like demented seals because you don't want to be the odd one out.

I agree, its not that funny. But with the kind of smackdown you offered in response, i find it hard to believe it was merely because you found the joke unfunny.

Usually people respond negatively to jokes they find offensive or dislike the content off.

If its simply not your type of humour, why be a jerk about it?

I'm guessing this seemed much cleverer and funny to you in your head.

The Reasoned Decision generated the best visual effects, namely Lance’s face after reading it.

That's funny.

It's called an Oscar snub.

Lance has taken the Oscar snub on the chin and is preparing for his next role as the all action hero in "Truth & Reconciliation"
It's a guaranteed Box Office Success but he may be snubbed yet again for the Oscars as the Academy members do not like action films.
 
I thought the visual effects of redacting out riders names etc leading to a storm of conjecture and careful analysis of historical data to identify them was worthy of an Oscar :D

I'm wondering what category Oscar fits into though? Surely he deserves and Oscar?? Possibly Visual Effects, with all the cartoons of his apartment showing his movements snail trail, and with the prosthesis and cricket bat in the corner? And some of them being patently wrong?
