Hello 3.5 Readers.
Anti-ugly discrimination advocate Bookshelf Q. Battler here. You know, in my previous missive I mentioned that #OscarsSoPretty was a thing on Twitter.
Well, I looked into it some more. Technically, it is, but only a few people had used the hashtag before I mentioned it. So I feel we have an opportunity to make history here. Perhaps I can use my skills as a blogger for a website with 3.5 readers to get this movement going.
If you’re a proud ugly American, please tweet your support for #OscarsSoPretty.
We will not rest until Buscemi takes home the gold.
The only way for Steve Buscemi to get the gold would be If some high profile director or writer gives him a role he could sink his teeth into. Then again, he could probably get negelcted easily by the Academy. Either way, keep up the great work as always 🙂
Well…look at his body of work. Reservoir Dogs. Critically acclaimed and praised. No nomination. Fargo. That movie was all in the Oscars. Did he get anything? Nope. He was a little bug eyed guy so of course they put him in the role of degenerate hitman instead of like a noble hero or something.
That’s part of the problem. People just can’t comprehend the idea of an ugly hero.
Remember that in the novel which was the basis of “Camelot” (The Once And Future King) Lancelot was “ugly as an African ape?” And then they give us Franco Nero. OK, I’ve dated myself.
I’m going to have to ask Uncle Hardass about that one.
Funny stuff. I will definitely use the hashtag.
Thank you for your support.
