whats everyones favorite acting performance that got completely ignored by the oscars? these are mine :)

Jack Grealish 2 of 2: I don’t know Jack; I’ve interviewed him a couple of times and that’s as far as it goes. I also don’t generally stick up for footballers purely because I was one myself. But Jack’s story is as near to perfect as it gets: He joined his local club and rose through the ranks from a six year old boy to Club captain. He has played over 200 games for the club and has stamped his mark as one of the best players to ever wear the famous claret and blue shirt. After gaining promotion and as club captain, he undoubtedly did more than his fair share of turning his team into a respectable and established Premier League side which arguably formed the foundations for how the club is viewed today. He then moved to one of the world’s best teams, one that has won absolutely everything and will go down in history as one of the greatest teams ever to set foot onto a football pitch. Who knows what will come next but Jack could retire tomorrow and will have had a career most footballers can only dream of. I’ve said it many times but I’ll say it again. Footballers are generally fans before they sign their first professional contract and when they retire they become fans once again. In between it’s a job! Fans who don’t ever become footballers can happily declare their undying love for any particular team and that’s absolutely great. Footballers on the other hand, have a limited time in the game and clearly want to be as successful as possible in that short time between first and last contracts. It’s impossible for 99% of players to stay with their team throughout their careers because if they are good players the best teams will want to sign them and if they’re not good players they’ll be shown the exit door pretty swiftly. When fans see their team going through a bad run, they all clamour for the club to buy new players. When a new player is signed, do fans of the new club call them Judas and boo them for leaving what could easily have been their boyhood club? Of course not; they sing their name and welcome them with open arms. Why then is it so different when it’s the other way around? In Jack’s case he is and always will be very proud of where he comes from and so it must be heartbreaking for him to have to endure the mindless and pathetic booing that he had to listen to yesterday.

I can't believe CNN just did this. Oprah Winfrey says “childless cat lady,” and CNN cuts to a random woman in the crowd who had no idea it was coming. I didn't know CNN was that savage.

Unwinding after a long day of work by playing the most anger inducing game possible
