The Jimmys

Hello old chums,

LF here, post-Oscars - still trying to recover my senses and the three-grand I lost on Brokeback. At least my other picks were mostly correct, though you'll never convince me that Dame Judi Dench didn't "throw" her performance in Mrs. Henderson Presents. I'm afraid you have to be close to this town to know how corrupt it is. But don't take that as criticism - as George Clooney would surely remind us, Hollywood has frequently been the first to expose Hollywood corruption.

Anyway, if you think awards season is finally over, think again. Tinsel Town's next big get-together is just around the corner.



That's right, the Jimmys - the first awards to honor achievement in the pirated motion picture industry. Named in honor of Jimmy Nussle, a nineteen-year-old Kansas man believed to have the largest cache of illegally downloaded movies on his hard drive, the Jimmys will be held this Sunday in the basement of the Kodak Theater. No stars are expected to attend but plenty will appear. And the competition for Best Picture should be quite exciting, though it may take days to complete.

These are the nominees:

The Forty-Year-Old Virgin (complete) SHARE OR DIE!!! - teddyboy843

Star Wars Episode III - Revenge of the Sith NOT A FAKE - ackbar5904

Dukes of Hazzard cam. part one JESSICA SIMPSON/BRAESTS - pe439al

Fat Kid on pogo stick (REALL & HILARIOUS!!!!!!) - dAveDAWg95

MILF Hunters: Rachel - foghorn4830

Unlike the Oscars, the Jimmys are truly international. For instance, every single nominee in the Sound Effects, Editing and Cinematography categories is Chinese.

So move over, Oscar, there's a new golden boy in town! See you at the Jimmys!
