Snubbed Again
This is NOT a good morning. I thought I was clear in my message last year after we didn't receive any Academy Award nominations that I didn't want that to ever happen again. Well... it has happened again... this year. And, strangely, you are the people that DIDN'T lose your jobs. Maybe I should just close up the studio and not make another stupid movie ever again and throw all of you out into the street!Everyone in the Manka Bros. Theatrical Group (led by the completely incompetent Robin Rafe) should hang their heads in shame today. Please take off your shoes and beat the soles of your feet until they bleed. The coffee machines and Diet Cokes have been removed from your offices. You will not get one more free beverage until I see some Oscar nominations. And based on the 2009 slates for both Manka Bros. Films and Manka Highbrow, I think you're all going to be very thirsty for a very long time.
I wish we lived in the days of flogging and stoning. Jack Warner used to put his president of production's head in a vice when he didn't get nominations for certain films. But Jack Warner was a man. I suppose we can't do that anymore because it's "against the law". When did we become such a country of pussies?
Do you all realize how embarrassing this is for me? Every year, I go to the fucked up Academy Awards with Rebecca DeMornay or some other starlit and Bob Iger or Rupert Murdoch or any of those other assholes come up to me and say "What? No nominations? Again?" Then they smile and walk away to get the asses kissed by the press! It's some nasty ass fucked up shit and YOU ARE ALL TO BLAME!
My rage includes all members of the mother fucking Academy! Did you people even watch Manka Bros. Films' Broken Spirit? That had Goddamned Best Picture written all over it - more so than that ridiculous Slumdog Millionaire! Broken Spirit was about a drug-addicted, handicapped Jew in Auschwitz trying to escape! What the fuck is wrong with you people? That's right in your wheelhouse! You put up a movie about a Nazi having sex with a fifteen-year-old but not about a handicapped prisoner in Auschwitz? Was 2008 the year of the Nazi? FOR SHAME, YOU ANTI-SEMITES!
Oh, well, it was another year of failure. And to repeat what I told you last year, if any of you in the Theatrical Group plan on killing yourselves, let me know... I would like to watch.

I would hate to be in the Theatrical Group today.
We're doing great over on the TV side, sir.

I've been throwing up since 5:30 this morning, sir. I am absolutely stunned by these nominations. Next year will be better. I promise.

The Reader isn't a Nazi movie, Khan. Just because Kate Winslett plays an ex-Nazi doesnt' make it a pro Nazi movie. I think the Academy has proved itself far from anti-semetic.
The Reader being nomination is a friggin' joke! The Dark Knight should have been the 5 best picture nomination. I haven't seen any of the Manka releases (or even heard of them).
You can't just make a movie about the Holocaust and expect it to get nominations. I think the movie has to actually be good.
The movie is good, you prick!
The Academy Awards are presented each year by the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences.
