Most of America isn't American anymore, and I'm not even referring to demographics or immigrants.

Pussification of America thanks to common core and obesity.

I thought the Oscars were the Old American White Guys club?

No, it's not. Well, other than it's nice the Oscars recognize that movies are made by non-Americans. But I don't think it really means anything.

But man, Hooper winning over Aronofsky, Fincher, Russell, and Coen is a f'n travesty. It was ridiculous at the time, and looks worse five years later.

No. The Oscars are meaningless.
